About This Clinic
Applications taken on Thursday from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The Community Dental Clinic serves the needs of those low-income residents of Sebastian and Crawford counties who are in pain and cannot afford to go to a dentist.
The clinic is staffed with licensed, experienced dentists who are both paid and volunteer. Many of the patients are striving to get off welfare or the working poor. The dentists at the Community Dental Clinic perform extractions but do not fill cavities. All patients receive oral cancer screening.
The Dental Clinic also has a denture program for those who have no other choice but to have all their teeth removed. Though the waiting period is quite long, the end result is worth it.
