The Free Clinic of SW Washington provides dental services for uninsured and low income (200% of poverty level) patients.  Our primary mission is to provide preventative and restorative care for children.  The dental van reaches out to the community by visiting elementary schools, community centers, health fairs, Children’s Dental Health Day and homeless centers to provide preventative treatment such as sealants and fluoride varnishes.

For restorative care for children, parents may come in and fill out an application to schedule their child.  The clinic usually has a wait list.

Children can receive the following care at the clinic in the Dental Express

• X rays
• Examinations
• Sealants
• Fluoride varnishes
• Fillings
• Stainless steel crowns
• Extractions

Adults may come in and fill out an application for care.  Adults are scheduled based on the greatest need and applications are accepted only by patients in pain or who have swelling.  Adult treatment is limited to urgent and emergent care.

• Extractions
• Fillings                  

**Most adult dental emergencies are from many years of lack of care and although we wish we could help patients immediately, we cannot.  Most treatment appointments will be scheduled several months after applications are completed.

If there is swelling, it is suggested patients be seen by a physician for infection.

The Free Clinic Dental Program is not able to provide cleanings, root canals, surgical extractions, partials, dentures or full mouth restoration
