"Our goal has always been to make high-quality dental care accessible and convenient for more children, families and adults, while creating a welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable getting the care they need," said Dr. Michael Skolnick, orthodontist, CEO and co-founder of Abra Health Group, which supports Presto Dental. "Everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve good oral health, and our commitment goes beyond what happens inside the dental office. We're excited to celebrate this milestone with the Bridgeport community and introduce an initiative that reflects that commitment."

Presto Dental provides pediatric dentistry, family dentistry and orthodontic care in a single coordinated setting. The practice accepts and prioritizes patients insured through HUSKY Dental, helping make quality dental care more accessible to local families. Presto Dental is part of Abra Health Group's growing Connecticut presence, with 115 employees statewide, including 25 in Bridgeport. Last year, Abra Health served approximately 25,000 Connecticut patients across roughly 63,000 appointments.

Tooth decay remains one of the most common chronic diseases among children and adults in the United States, despite being largely preventable. Half of children ages 6-9 have experienced cavities, while one in five adults ages 20-64 has untreated tooth decay. Access to preventive care, early screenings, basic oral health supplies and practical education can help individuals protect their oral health and address concerns before they become more serious.

To further its mission, Abra Health Group is launching The Dental Bank at the September 28 celebration –a first-of-its-kind community impact initiative. Through partnerships with schools, nonprofits and community organizations, the initiative will bring free oral health resources, screenings and education to locations beyond the traditional dental office, while helping connect individuals and families with affordable, high-quality dental care.
