The Clark County Skills Center Dental Program is
in need of dentists and hygienists to volunteer for their local community clinic. Our Goal: To enhance each student's learning, and address the community's dental access needs.
We are requesting that you consider volunteering at least ONE day a year.
Our low-cost on-site community dental clinic is a valuable opportunity for the following reasons:
1. It provides hands-on training for students from 20+ different high schools and adults who are working to become future dental professionals.
2. High academic standards and student growth as a focus
3. It provides valuable dental care for families in our community who are low income and / or do not have dental insurance.
4. Updated A-Dec operatories, digital radiographs, and digital charting
FAQ'S
