The University at Buffalo (UB) School of Dental Medicine has received a $780,000 grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation to expand its S-Miles to Go dental program through the addition of a second mobile dental clinic.
The new 40-foot-long dental van — a two-chair clinic outfitted with a state-of-the-art panoramic X-ray unit, sterilization center, wheelchair lift and electronic health record system — will meet the oral healthcare needs of Erie County’s underserved populations, including older adults and people with disabilities. It’s expected to begin operation in early 2022.
The funding will also support the operations of the School of Dental Medicine’s existing mobile dental van, which provides access to oral healthcare for veterans and underserved children and families, primarily in Chautauqua County.
