Our Mobile Dental vans have transitioned to providing urgent dental care – an essential service during the COVID-19 outbreak. Our goal is to help relieve an overburdened healthcare system with these emergency dental services.
Going to the People Who Need Us
Mobile Dental vans go to places where people need urgent help. By partnering with other community agencies, we identify those with the greatest needs. Your support serves those living in poverty, people with disabilities, the elderly, people experiencing homelessness, migrant workers, Native American populations, recovering addicts, veterans and youth by providing dental care that eliminates pain and prevents future tooth decay.
Teaching about Good Dental Hygiene
Dental treatment is important, and so is good dental hygiene. Developing good dental hygiene habits can reduce the risk of many diseases. Through the Mobile Dental Program, volunteer dental professionals visit schools to teach kids about how to take care of their teeth. They also hand out basic dental supplies for kids to take home.
