MEREDITH — State Senator Tom Sherman (D-Rye) received the New Hampshire Dental Society’s Legislative Appreciation Award. Sen. Sherman was given the award during the New Hampshire Dental Society Annual fall/winter meeting in Meredith.
Citing Sen. Sherman’s non-political and bipartisan leadership on oral healthcare issues, NHDS President Dr. Melissa Kennell said that Sen. Sherman — who is a physician — has used his medical and scientific perspective to help promote an adult Medicaid benefit proposal and battle anti-community water fluoridation legislation. Dr. Kennell also cited Sen. Sherman’s outright rejection of political and non-scientific rhetoric that, in 2020, threatened to keep dental offices closed during a mounting oral health crisis that the pandemic sparked. “Tom Sherman has been a tremendous friend and partner to the oral health community, Dr. Kennell said.
