Dental care available this week to Carson City area youth via Ronald McDonald Care Mobile
The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, which offers affordable dental healthcare for youth, will be in the Carson City area daily through the end of the week, with Wednesday set aside in Gardnerville.
In partnership between Nevada Health Centers and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Las Vegas, the care mobile offers oral healthcare to children through age 21.
Good oral health is critically important to one’s overall health. Its staff focuses on treatment, education, prevention, and advocacy to children.
The Care Mobile offers the same services provided in a brick and mortar facility and is staffed with a dentist, dental assistants and office assistants. Because it is on wheels, we are able to bring access to affordable care to communities throughout Nevada.
Patient and employee safety is the mobile's number one priority, so COVID precautions are in place. Preventive services will be provided in addition to emergency restorative care. Call 800.787.2568 for an appointment.
Here are the list of stops:
— Tuesday, October 18, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. McDonald’s, 3905 S. Carson St., Carson City
