The University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry ‘s Dental Hygiene students are looking for some perfect mouths.
The perfect mouths in this case haven’t received a dental cleaning in a number of years. UMKC dental hygiene students are hosting patient screenings, including free X-rays, as part of their clinical board examination.
Potential patients must:
- Be older than 21
- Be in good health
- Not wear braces
- Have most of their teeth
- Be available for a four-hour session in the morning or afternoon of Monday, May 13 or Tuesday, May 14.
Potential patients who meet the above criteria must schedule a screening session for between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, March 2 at the School of Dentistry, 650 E. 25th St. To schedule or for more information, call 816-301-4421 or email umkcfreedentalcleaning@gmail.com
Do not attend a screening session if you have severe dental needs requiring immediate attention. The screenings are for dental cleaning only — not for services such as fillings, crowns or extractions. If you are in pain or need immediate dental care, call the Emergency Clinic at 816-235-2100 about becoming a patient of record at The UMKC School of Dentistry.
