The pediatric dentist is best qualified to meet these needs. Pediatric dentists have had special training, which allows them to provide the most up-to-date and thorough treatment for a wide variety of children's dental problems. They are trained and qualified to treat patients with special health care needs.

The Village for Families & Children, Inc. was chosen for the second year in a row as the beneficiary of the Connecticut Society of Pediatric Dentistry's (CSPD) annual fundraiser to commemorate February's National Pediatric Dentistry Month. This year's fundraiser collected over $4,000 dollars for the Village's Home Away from Home Champions for Children Bicentennial Campaign renovation project. Participants who contributed a minimum gift of $5 to the CSPD fundraiser were entered into a raffle to win an American Girl Doll or a Nintendo DSI Gaming System. Congratulations to the two lucky winners!
The village's residential programs create a safe, home-like therapeutic environment for children with severe emotional and behavioral problems, many of whom have been removed from their homes and families due to neglect and/or abuse. Approximately 150 greater Hartford children are served by the residential programs each year.
