MOBILE CLINICS

In remote or underserved areas where dental services are unavailable, the School of Dentistry has provided service through its pioneering work in mobile dentistry.  Born out of one dental school faculty member's desire to bring services to children in Baja Mexico, the school's mobile efforts now provide services from Bakersfield to the Mexican border.  Both in urban and in remote rural areas, the school's mobile dental clinics offer invaluable service free of charge to those who otherwise would go without.
