What's a dental program without dentists? Our hard working dentists head up a team of dental chairside and site assistants in one of the most unique and challenging of practice settings - mobile dentistry.

If you are a dentist and want to be a part of our community volunteers, you can:

• volunteer your dental services in your office by seeing a patient needing treatment beyond the scope of services available on the vans
  or
• sign up to volunteer on the van, along with your dental assistant.

Please contact Deborah Durham for more information on volunteer opportunities with the Dental Program. Your help is greatly appreciated.
