FSW Dental Clinic offering low-cost dental cleanings, exams for children during June
Florida SouthWestern State College’s Dental Clinic will offer low-cost dental cleanings, exams and X-rays for children ages 3 to 18 throughout June. The cost is $30 per child. An additional $5 will be charged for sealants on permanent molars if requested. Adults may also receive cleanings for $50.
The clinic offers an affordable way for families to get ready for the upcoming academic year with professional dental cleanings.
“Kids need to have their teeth cleaned and be provided with good oral health information, such as how to brush and floss properly,” said Karen Molumby, program director, FSW Dental Hygiene program. “Many school-aged children do not have their teeth cleaned other than the designated kindergarten, 5th- and 8th- grade requirements for school. Offering an affordable option for preventative care may help families reduce costs while ensuring their children receive essential oral health services and education.”
Services are provided by FSW dental hygiene students under the supervision of faculty members. The clinic is in Building A on FSW’s Lee Campus, 8099 College Parkway, in Fort Myers. It is open from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday through Friday.
