On Friday, Oct. 25, the Bates Dental Assisting Program opened its dental clinic, as it has in the past, to provide free dental care to uninsured Pierce County residents. The clinic was held in partnership with the Pierce County Dental Society and its Pierce County Dentists Care program. Pierce County Oral Health Coalition members and Pierce County dentists donated their time and resources to provide oral health assessments, X-rays, cleanings, and basic restorative care to 45 grateful patients. More than one-third of those with appointments were referred by the Project Homeless Connect dental team.
