I don't need one but thank you for providing low-cost dental care for the uninsured!

Absolutely!

I have been to this clinic before and strongly recommend it for anyone who needs a cleaning!

Thank you so much, I’ve seen it myself and I couldn’t agree more! We are a GREAT program. (:

You rock! Thanks so much for the support, friend! :)

This is reassuring. I just moved to the area over New Years, and my new job's insurance hasn't kicked in yet. Haven't had a dental visit in years and will do so soon.

This is a great clinic with full services including an exam basically right next to the Springfield mall. Highly recommend it.

Thank you!(:

I'd say this violates the rule of no advertising, but I'm gonna go ahead and campaign for OP here, begging the mods to keep this up because such low-cost dental care is actually a huge benefit to the community. Dental without insurance soooo expensive around here. Thanks OP

I’d call this a community service, not an ad!

Thank you for being an advocate!(:

Do you have resources for Spanish-speaking patients? I encounter a lot of Spanish-only speaking patients who do not have access to affordable healthcare and dental care. I would love to be able to pass this resource along to them :)

We have several clinical staff members and students are who are native and fluent Spanish speakers so come on along! (:

I just posted my own topic for Spanish speakers. Please refer to that to find out more info or refer them to email me:

Hello, the NOVA Medical Campus does have plenty of spanish-speaking staff and students. The only problem I've seen is that they don't have a spanish speaker at the front desk right now. Those calls get sorted out later for that reason. Feel free to give my number as spanish-speaking resource and I will be happy to help them get connected 540 300 2336.

Hi just to follow up! I'm also available via text for Spanish speakers. Text: 703-951-7192

We'll let this stay up because we saw it late, but in the future all dental hygiene students please post your PSAs in the Friday-Monday thread for self-promotion. We get so many of these that it would honestly block out the subreddit's normal posts. Tytyty

I appreciate it so much!

Always a good program. We see this often out here at Laurel Ridge CC as well in Frederick Co.

Thank you for supporting!(:

this is amazing!!! do y’all need any practice creating night guards? lol my dentist said I needed one but my insurance doesn’t cover it and it would cost over $400 :(

I do believe the restorative clinic does nightguards, but I’m not sure what the full information is on that.

I’ve done this in Austin TX before. You get a thorough supervised service and you can give appreciated feedback as the students are new but deeply care about the patients and quality of their work. I was very satisfied with my scaling/cleaning with students.

I’m so happy to hear that!

Sign me up!

Feel free to leave me a message at your earliest convenience! (:

I’ve got dental but this seems like a great opportunity for those whose jobs don’t provide it.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. (:

Bruh, poor medical student home for the weekend, just missed ya. Will keep this in mind though!

No worries!(:

Can you get more advanced work done for cheap there? My dentist hit me with a $1,400 estimate after insurance.

Check with the dental school in Richmond.

$35 is half the upcharge for flouride during the cleaning at my shitty dentist. What do they use like half a pea size of the shit and charge $70. Looked up how much it costs online 2 liter bottle is like $6.

You can 👀 by going here

Idk - I go to West Springfield Dental arts and I think I only pay $40 for my cleaning w/ fluoride included.. but it could be my insurance (Delta)

Can you please advertise this to FCPS schools for low income students & their families? I know many students who would benefit from this!

Our dental hygiene program already works together with MCCP (Medical Care for Children Partnership) to provide free dental care to some students within FCPS, but it probably isn’t enough. This is one of the public health requirements of our program!

Do you mind if we cross post. We have a local FB page for helping each other out.

Do you access teeth? I think I chipped a tooth and I don’t wanna go to the VA

We can definitely take a look at it, and refer any treatment to our restorative clinic.

I went today and I also recommend!

Do you need to live in Northern Virginia for this service?

You can live anywhere so long as you can make it to the appointments.

Precisely what they said!

Reach out to Arlington Free clinic! Dental is a huge need!!

Thank you for the suggestion!

Blood pressure screening?

Yep! It’s a standard vital sign we’ll use as your baseline. We take blood pressure for every patient at every appointment.

Yes! Reviewing medical history, checking vitals, and performing a full intra/extral oral exam (including oral cancer screening) are all included. :)

Beware: if your blood pressure is too high, they will not perform the cleaning or anything with your teeth and gums without a medical release.

W dental hygiene student

Preciate it. (:

This is awesome

I still have dental coverage but maybe in May.

Perfect!

I will for sure look at this for my next cleaning. I’m due in about 3 months!

Awesome! We look forward to seeing you!

Im way overdue for a cleaning, thanks for the post this really goes along way for a lot of us. So Arlington & Springfield are the recommended dental schools? Im closer to Leesburg/Ashburn

I'm really only familiar with the program I'm enrolled at in Springfield, but I'm sure Arlington has a good program as well.

question: if you have insurance that covers a % of out of network, will that apply to the $35? I’m not sure if it would work with a dental school. Thank you :)

No. They don't take insurance. It's a dental school.

Will there be more announcements in the future about open slots? I couldn't go this time as I work all those days, but if ever there was a Wednesday opening I would so love that!
