The dental van currently outreaches to nursing home facilities in the Metropolitan area, bringing vital oral health services to a population that would either not receive these services, or would represent a hardship to the resident and family member in transporting them a long distance to receive this care.
The Southside Dental Van, has two dental chairs. This means that a dentist, an oral hygienist, and a dental assistant can go out at the same time, instead of alternating visits.
