Mobile Dental Outreach Clinics
Did you know there are dental providers who hold mobile dental outreach clinics?
Having a permanent dental clinic is ideal. But sometimes circumstances, such as where you live, can make it a challenge to have one. Mobile dental clinics offer an alternative. They can also be an option for those times when you can’t take your child out of school or take time off work to see your regular dentist.
Preventive dental care (cleanings and X-rays) is offered at these dental clinics. Restorative care (fillings, extractions, dentures) is also offered at some clinics. Apple Tree Dental and Children’s Dental Services hold dental outreach clinics in and around the PrimeWest Health service area. See below for information about each clinic.
