Dr. Paul Amato Offers Dental Implants in Seattle, WA as Part of the Holocaust Survivors Program
The fact that he survived such an awful thing, he is stricken by poverty, and he couldn’t afford dental care, made me want to do the best for him.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB)
January 31, 2020
Respected Seattle, WA cosmetic dentist, Dr. Paul Amato, celebrates five years volunteering for the Henry Schein Cares Holocaust Survivors Oral Health Program, relieving tooth pain and treating the oral concerns of Holocaust survivors with pro bono care. By increasing their access to oral care, this compassionate program seeks to significantly enhance the overall quality of life of Holocaust survivors. Dr. Amato’s passion for oral health and compassion for his community is reflected, not only in his work with the Henry Schein Program, but in the quality of cosmetic and restorative dentistry he provides at LeCuyer & Amato Dentistry as well.
The Henry Schein Cares Holocaust Survivors Oral Health Program is a partnership between Henry Schein, Inc. and the Alpha Omega International Dental Fraternity, the world’s oldest dental fraternity. The program was created to answer the White House’s call to action to help vulnerable survivors age with dignity and support. When a survivor needs dental care, Jewish Family Services screens the patient then reaches out to dentists in that patient’s area that can serve the survivor pro bono. The care provided can range from simple tooth pain care with general dentistry to restorative dentistry including dental implant placement.
Dr. Amato has served many survivors during his five years volunteering with this program. In that time, he was able to work with Greg, a survivor from Moldova. As Dr. Amato explains, “Greg’s story is sad but poignant.” Greg was young when he was separated from his family. Now living in the United States, Greg has limited income and cannot afford the dental care he needs. Along with two other specialists, Dr. Amato was able to provide Greg with a full mouth reconstruction. They treated Greg with dental implants, root canals, crowns, and fillings. Not only did this care relieve Greg’s tooth pain, but the aesthetics and function of Greg’s mouth were fully restored.
Greg still visits Dr. Amato for regular hygiene visits. “I treat him like I would treat my own grandfather if he were still alive,” says Dr. Amato. “The fact that he survived such an awful thing, he is stricken by poverty, and he couldn’t afford dental care, made me want to do the best for him.” Every time Greg sees Dr. Amato, he calls out, “My son!” and wraps Dr. Amato in a hug.
