The Delta Dental Mobile Program will return to Lake and Moody counties this summer to provide oral health care to young people. The bus will visit Flandreau June 8-12 and Madison August 10-14.
Registration in advance is needed, and appointments are now being accepted. For details, call Jacqueline at Interlakes Community Action Partnership (ICAP) at 605-291-2713.
The Delta Dental visits are a partnership between ICAP, Interlakes Area United Way (IAUW) and Delta Dental of South Dakota.
Each bus travels with a dentist, hygienist, two dental assistants and a coordinator. Patient care includes exams, cleanings, preventive treatments and cavity fillings.
Oral health education is also provided so patients can continue to care for their teeth after the visit.
In Madison, ICAP will host the bus at their head start facilities at 106 S Van Eps. In Flandreau, the bus will be located at the Moody County/SDSU Extension Office at 500 W 1st Avenue.
Children from their first tooth through age 21 are eligible. Services are provided at no cost to the child or family, and insurance is not necessary–only a patient consent and information form must be completed.
