Immigrant Oral Health Outreach Clinic

Held in the Faculty’s on-site clinic, second-year dental hygiene students currently provide free preventative care to approximately 20 immigrants and refugees, whose visits are arranged by the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS). Dentistry students and students from other health professions volunteer their services as interpreters, helping to fill in patient medical histories and translating for both the hygiene students and patients during treatments.
