The Wright Center for Community Health Tunkhannock adds dentist with local ties
A veteran dentist with more than three decades of experience will lead the new dental service line at The Wright Center for Community Health Tunkhannock, expanding access to oral healthcare at the Wyoming County Healthcare Center.
Dr. Frank Pagano
Beginning Monday, Aug. 3, dental services for children and adults will be available between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday at The Wright Center for Community Health Tunkhannock, 5950 U.S. Route 6, Suite 401. Appointments can be made now by calling 570-591-5299.
Dr. Frank Pagano, who has longtime family connections to Wyoming County, will offer a wide variety of services for children and adults, including routine exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, fillings, extractions, restorations, dentures, and other procedures. After earning his doctorate of dental surgery from New York University’s School of Dentistry, he operated a family dental practice for nearly 33 years. He’s also served as a clinical instructor in prosthetics for Columbia University’s College of Dental Medicine.
“I’m excited to bring high-quality dental care to the Tunkhannock community, where access to oral health services is greatly needed,” Dr. Pagano said. “Good oral health is essential to overall well-being, and I look forward to helping patients of all ages receive the compassionate, comprehensive care they deserve while improving the health of our communities.”
The community health center accepts most dental insurances, including Delta Dental, Guardian, United Concordia, and Medical Assistance (Medicaid). To ensure high-quality oral care is available to everyone, The Wright Center for Community Health offers a sliding-fee discount program for individuals who qualify based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines, which take into account family size and income. No patient is turned away due to an inability to pay.
