 The Wharton County Junior College Dental Hygiene Clinic
services can help you with your dental care needs. The on-site dental hygiene clinic typically services over
1,200 patients per year. Under the
supervision of licensed dental and dental hygiene instructors, our students
perform a number of dental care services similar to those offered at local
dental offices. And, we would be
happy to forward your dental records, such as x-rays, to your personal dentist.
Services include dental prophylaxis (dental cleaning),
periodontal exam, full mouth x-rays, panoramic x-rays, oral cancer screening,
blood pressure screening, sealants, dental exam for cavities, oral hygiene
instruction, fluoride treatment, and nutritional counseling.
Minimal fees are $10 but are often waived for indigent care; senior
citizen discounts are $5. Also, free services are provided to WCJC employees, students,
and student family members.
Although the clinic is closed during the summer, we offer
our services during the fall and spring semesters.
