About Sherry
Launch of Simply Smiles
Sherry’s passion for children’s oral health began at Westbrook College, where she graduated in the top ten percent of her dental hygiene class in 1993. She spent more than 25 years at Just for Kids Pediatric Dentistry, building deep expertise in pediatric care and developing a strong commitment to underserved and marginalized children through her work with Just for Kids, Maine Dental Health Out‑Reach, and Medical Care Development. Giving back to her local communities has always been one of her greatest joys.
In 2019, Sherry transitioned into public health as the Program Manager for the Maine CDC School Oral Health Program, overseeing statewide surveillance for more than 20,000 children each year. When the pandemic led to a sharp rise in childhood tooth decay, the 2023 surveillance data reaffirmed her calling to return to hands‑on preventive care.
In 2024, she launched Simply Smiles’ mobile dental hygiene clinic to bring preventive services directly to schools. The following year, in 2025, Sherry expanded her reach again by opening a new office in Wales, Maine, allowing her to better serve the community and broaden the age range of patients who can access care.
Today, her mission remains clear—reducing barriers, expanding access, and helping people of all ages achieve healthy, confident smiles.
