Mobile dental van and UNR clinic happening in Yerington April 25
Cost and access prevent many people from seeing a dentist, even when their tooth pain affects how they conduct their lives. To address this need, a mobile dental clinic called Drop-In Medical is coming to Yerington for one day, April 25.
Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon and Storey Counties, in partnership with Drop-In Medical, are offering a free mobile dental event at South Lyon Medical Center at 213 South Whitacre Street.
Free Services: Dentists Dr. Veronika Vazquez and Dr. Shanna Kim, assisted by students from Truckee Meadows Community College’s Dental Hygiene Program, will offer restorative services including free fillings and extractions for adults 18 years of age and older. “We’re so grateful for the generous philanthropic efforts of Drop-In Medical and the hard work of caring volunteers bringing these services to rural residents,” said Healthy Communities’ director Wendy Madson.
Make an appointment by contacting Lisa Godenick at HCC at 526-0462 or lgodenick@hcclsc.org. If all appointments are filled for this event, Healthy Communities is keeping a waiting list for the next event.
More about Drop-In Medical: The April 25 mobile dental clinic is a special event. Normally, Drop-In Medical works with businesses to bring dental services to them onsite, making it easy for employees to keep up with their routine dental exams by bringing dental care to them.
The mobile dentistry van is fully equipped and can provide dental x-rays, exams, and cleanings. Dr.Vazquez explains that Drop-In Medical “has worked with prominent companies in San Francisco to deliver exceptional dental services. We are now excited to be in Northern Nevada. You no longer need to try to find the best dentist near you, because we come to you.
We go to corporations and senior communities to provide onsite dental exams, x-rays and cleanings. We can also do dental fillings and crowns. We bill insurance directly and there is no additional charge.” Contact Dr. Vazquez to book mobile dental services for your workplace or senior communities at http://www.dropinmedical.com
