Mobile dentistry is a valuable approach to improving access to dental care. Not all clinicians have experience working in non-traditional settings, which makes mobile programs particularly important. In this program, we will explore a successful mobile dental initiative that has been running for over 12 years within a dental hygiene program. Participants will gain insights into how mobile dentistry can be effectively applied in an educational setting, providing students with valuable experience in non-traditional clinical environments.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize benefits of mobile dental programs in an educational setting.
Assess ways to search for grants.
Examine successes and failures of mobile dental programs.
