Mobile Clinic Provides Free Dental Services In Virginia
A growing number of people are struggling to afford regular dental check-ups and this is why a mobile dental clinic is providing care, free of charge to residents in Bristol, Virginia.
Most dentists advise their patients to have a routine check-up every six to twelve months, but for many this is unaffordable. The Mobile Dental Clinic is stationed in Bristol but travels around visiting schools in different counties.
The clinic provides a range of services, including fillings, cleaning treatments, dental examinations and preventative treatments, such as sealants. It has already helped hundreds of children and parents in the area, who are very grateful for the support the clinic has given. One father said that it was reassuring to know that the clinic could provide services for children without it costing the earth, after his son needed root canal treatment.
The clinic is eager to promote preventative oral health services, including educational sessions and sealants to try and reduce the cost of dental care in the future and prevent children from suffering unnecessary pain and discomfort.
