The Lewis and Clark Community College Paul B. Hanks Dental Clinic is currently accepting new patients for dental hygiene services.
The clinic offers thorough dental assessment, a treatment plan, x-rays, preventive (teeth cleaning) or therapeutic periodontal treatment, oral hygiene instructions, fluoride treatments and sealant placement and any necessary referral for treatment outside the realm of these services.
Dental treatment is provided by dental hygiene students of Lewis and Clark under the supervision of licensed dentists and dental hygienists. The clinic has been providing these services to the community since the inception of the program in 1996 and at the new campus facility since 2002.
