October 21, 2008
The Salt Lake Education Foundation in partnership with Smart Smiles for Students has launched a first-of-its-kind mobile dental clinic. This fully-equipped, 53-foot mobile dental clinic provides exams, cleanings, fluoride, x-rays, sealants, fillings, extractions, crowns and oral hygiene instructions for students and the community. Over 70 guests were in attendance at a ribbon-cutting ceremony held on September 23, 2008, to herald the arrival of this new clinic and to celebrate the benefits it will provide to Salt Lake City. Utah’s First Lady Mary Kaye Huntsman, Mayor Ralph Becker, Pamela Atkinson, Dr. Mckell Withers, Dr. Steven Steed, Dr. Hal Whitney D.D.S. and Rose Park Elementary School Principal Rae Louie were the ribbon cutters.
The clinic will rotate approximately every two weeks and will visit schools throughout the Salt Lake City School District.
