UT Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School faculty and students will conduct the screenings at no charge. At the screening, teeth will not be cleaned and cavities will not be filled. The benefits of dental screenings are to prevent and detect infections, tooth decay, periodontal disease, receding gums and oral cancer and provide oral health education and referrals for free or low-cost dental care.
For the dental screening, a dental professional will:
- Examine your mouth, gums and teeth
- Look for signs of infection, cavities, periodontal disease, receding gums and oral cancer
- If problems are identified, the dental professional will follow up with you to make an appointment for care or will refer you to a dentist.
