Louisville, KY, and St. Paul, MN, will both get new mobile dental vans, according to news reports.
The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness announced it has purchased a 40-ft, $387,000 mobile dental health vehicle.
The Louisville van comes with two dental chairs and digital imaging capability. A dentist, two dental assistants, and a driver who will double as a dental clerk will staff it. The unit will provide dental services three days a week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, at clinics sites on Dixie Highway and in Middletown and Newburg.
Meanwhile, Ronald McDonald House Charities has sponsored a 40-ft van for St. Paul children, according to MinnPost.com.
The St. Paul vehicle has two dental stations for hygiene and restorative work and a reception station. It will provide exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, x-rays, fillings and extractions, along with dental education, and will travel to schools, churches, public health, and community centers in the 13-county St. Paul metro area.
