VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Thank you for your interest in giving time in our Health & Dental Services Center, to serve students in need.  Treatment clinics are scheduled and tailored to the volunteers.  Grade level of patients scheduled may be requested by dentist doing treatment.  We do have Nitrous Oxide available.

Treatment clinic schedule as with all clinics can be set to accommodate volunteering dentist and hygienist.  If staff are not available to come with the dentist we have staff expanded function dental assistants and volunteer assistants. We can schedule treatment and hygiene during the same clinic, when volunteers are available.  Two chairs treatment, one hygiene.  We have also had two dentists in clinic together.  We always welcome pre-dental/hygiene/assisting students to schedule observation time during clinics.

Patients are by appointment only and given at least one hour blocks during treatment and prophy clinics.  Education is done in the waiting area for all family members during any clinic.

Health & Dental Services Center base hours are Monday through Friday 8:00am until 6:00pm.

If you would like to stop by the clinic to pick up a volunteer packet and look at the instrument and material inventory to assure your time in clinic is accommodating, please contact;
