Community Dental Clinic

The Community Dental Clinic serves to help bridge the gap for people who reside in Mercer County with no access to dental care. 

Mission Statement

To improve the oral health of the community by addressing health disparities and inequities in dental treatment and education. The goal of the clinic includes identifying those residing in Mercer County who are in need of oral health care due to lack of financial resources and the inability to find a provider in a timely manner. Consideration will be given to all patients and factors to be considered will include the immediate nature of the problem I.e. pain swelling and function.

Our Focus

By offering a holistic approach to patient care, we seek to ensure that those in our community who are most vulnerable have access to essential oral health services. Our goal is to deliver not just treatment but also education, empowering patients to maintain their dental health long-term.
