Mobile Dental Clinic Brings Care Right To Sioux Falls Students

Students in the Sioux Falls School District will continue to have access to dental care at a dozen different schools.

The district, along with Falls Community Health and Delta Dental of South Dakota, has extended a partnership that provides on-site preventive, diagnostic, and restorative care to students who lack access to or cannot afford dental care.

Since 2004, the program’s dental truck, staffed by two dental operatories, a dentist, a hygienist, two dental assistants, and a coordinator, has traveled to area schools in one- week stints to provide dental exams, cleanings, sealants, X-rays, and restorative treatments on site.

The mobile dental unit currently makes stops at the following schools:

• Washington High School
• Lincoln High School
• Jefferson High School
• Roosevelt High School
• Axtell Park High School
• Whittier Middle School
• George McGovern Middle School
• Lowell Elementary School
• Laura B. Anderson Elementary School
• Anne Sullivan Elementary School
• Cleveland Elementary School
• Garfield Elementary School

Parents and guardians interested in connecting their child with the Delta Dental Mobile Program should contact their child’s school for assistance.
