The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation Oral Health Clinic at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) recently welcomed visitors at an open house.
The Oral Health Clinic staff handed out oral hygiene supplies and spoke with the many guests who came through.
“The UAMS Oral Health Clinic is a tremendous asset not only to our patients and staff but also to the community,” said Stephanie Gardner, Pharm.D., Ed.D., UAMS provost, chief academic officer and chief strategy officer. “It’s an important aspect of our mission.”
The clinic celebrated its 10th anniversary in June 2023. An expansion added 3,490 square feet to bring the clinic’s total square footage to 12,800. The clinic went from 11 to 15 dental hygiene operatories, which are able to support three full-time hygienists.
