Grants and Contracts Details
Description
The University of Kentucky College of Dentistry (UKCD) proposes to obtain a mobile
dental van to: (1) increase dental safety-net services to vulnerable children in the Mississippi
Delta region of western Kentucky; (2) increase dental student and residency educational
experiences in pediatric dentistry in rural communities; and (3) link the educational and services
arms ofthe UKCD mission to implementation and dissemination of research findings to improve
oral health of communities. The UKCD currently operates 3 mobile dental vans in partnership
with the State Office of Oral Health, providing educational, service and research outcomes. The
purchase of an additional van will allow us to expand our educational program to the Kentucky
Mississippi Dental region thus increasing training capacity, as well as dental services to preschool
and elementary school children in rural dentally underserved areas of the state.
