We remain committed to expanding global service and clinical care and our efforts are varied to meet the needs of our community.

We promote oral hygiene awareness, provide HIV testing, place sealants on pediatric patients, collaborate with other healthcare professionals to improve oral and overall health, offer children an opportunity to learn about career paths in dentistry, and coordinate many other service initiatives. Together, with our community partners and collaborations with patients, we continue to advance oral health for the underserved.
