Dental Assisting

Dental Assisting students and dozens of dental hygienists and assistants from other schools and professional organizations participated in Access Partnership/Oral Health Improvement Coalition and Pankey Institute Dental Access Day at the National Guard Armory in Suffolk, VA on December 2 and 3. All volunteered their time for the charitable event.  Dental treatment was limited to cleaning, fillings and extractions due to the limited time for each patient.  Some patients were able to get flippers, acrylic partial dentures that are used to replace a few missing teeth. Dental assisting students reassured and cared for patients before, during, and after dental procedures.  Dental Access Days treated nearly 114 patients providing services that estimated a grand total of $111,143.

Their on-going fund raiser of Bleach Trays goes on throughout the year.  It helps to offset the expenses of their field trip to the National Dental Museum in Baltimore, MD. To date, the program has assisted in providing over $100K of donated dental services to the area’s dental challenged citizens.
