Screenings for prospective patients are held every Monday from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the Jean and Ralph Wilson Dental Hygiene Clinic, which is located on the first floor of the Health Sciences Center on the Temple College east campus.

Spring screenings will be held every Monday through April 29, except March 11.

Patients who are selected for care pay only $15 for an unlimited number of appointments and dental hygiene services, including cleaning and polishing, radiographs (X-rays), oral cancer screening and fluoride applications.
