Delta Dental’s mobile dental truck is in Highmore this week (Oct. 11–15, 2021).
The Highmore Clinic is hosting the truck to care for children who can’t afford or access a dentist because of cost, lack of insurance, transportation or other reasons. Children from their 1st tooth through age 21 are eligible if they have not seen an area dentist in two years or live more than 85 miles from the nearest dentist.
Registration in advance is needed, and a patient consent and information form must be completed. Contact Heidi at 605-852-2238 for more information.
A full range of dental care is available, including exams, cleanings, preventive treatments, and cavity fillings. Services are provided at no cost to the child or family. No insurance is necessary. Oral health education is also provided to patients so they can continue to care for their teeth after the visit.
The mobile dental truck’s visit is a partnership between Highmore Clinic and Delta Dental of South Dakota.
The Delta Dental Mobile Program provides oral health services to underserved children. The program includes two mobile dental trucks that travel across the state. The trucks have been in 81 communities throughout South Dakota and provided more than $17 million in dental care since the program began in 2004.
