Hours of Operation:
The Dental Clinic strives to provide services on Fridays when there is a Volunteer Dentist available. As the Dental Clinic is operated under the care of Volunteer Dentists, it is recommended you call to confirm the calendar for upcoming dental sessions.
The Dental Clinic does not take appointments. Patients are seen on a first-come, first-serve basis on the days when dental clinics are held. It is recommended that you arrive early to get a place in line. The clinic opens at 7:00 AM and the first 10 patients in line are admitted.
