Amber Lombardi

Amber Lombardi is a graduate of the University of New England, and a Master of Public Health candidate. She understands the barriers many people face getting access to dental care.

Amber started Mainely Teeth, a non-profit mobile dental clinic, to bring community access to quality dental care. Mainely Teeth’s mission is to break down barriers to oral health care and provide access to quality, compassionate dental care to individuals, families, and communities. Core to this mission is the belief that quality oral health care should be a basic human right, not a privilege. Amber never wavers in her commitment to serving those left out of the traditional medical system due to systemic issues of racism, socioeconomic privilege, or the gap between private and public health insurance.

Over the last four years, Amber has worked with community partners throughout Maine to develop and implement the first virtual dental home pilot for the state, which has created access to care in the most rural and everyday settings. Mainely Teeth has expanded services to 87 sites across the state, along with two brick and mortar offices that provide care to 14 counties in Maine.

Amber’s greatest hope is that Mainely Teeth will make dental care more accessible for those in need and to keep breaking down barriers to care in new ways.
