Description
In 2010, through a federal grant, a mobile dental hygiene unit was purchased with two goals in mind: providing care to citizens in rural parishes of Louisiana while providing community clinical experience to dental hygiene students. Provision of these services on the MDHU is helping to address affordability and accessibility to dental care. Underserved children and adults receive clinical and educational services creating oral health awareness for the entire family. The ULM’s Dental Hygiene Mobile Unit provides dental hygiene students with an irreplaceable and unique educational setting while providing needed services to the underserved residents in the region.
