The Special School
“Yes for Education, No for Oral Disease”
We know that parents often find taking their children to the dentist to be a challenge due a variety of issues including transportation and having to take time off from work. Therefore, Universal Dental Clinics has initiated the School-Based Oral Health program “Yes for Education; No for Oral Disease” This program was initiated to ensure everyone in the community receives the proper and affordable dental care along with raising the awareness of oral health at a very early age.
