| The un- and under-insured of Mendocino and Lake Counties continue to have serious access problems for their oral health needs, and our dental department is one of MCHC's fastest growing services. We continue to pursue, and receive, grant funding to focus on this problem. Consequently, we are actively recruiting dentists committed to service who wish to work in a fast-paced team environment.
At all three sites, MCHC offers comprehensive dental services to its patients. In addition to exams, patients are offered access to gum treatment, sealants, tooth-colored fillings, dentures and emergency care.
Special programs include HIV dental care, a nursing facility dental outreach program, oral health care for pregnant women and a commitment to community outreach that allows MCHC to implement short-term, community-based service projects including on-site screenings at migrant education schools. We are one of the few health facilities in Northern California that specializes in oral care for the developmentally disabled. Additionally, we refer patients in need of oral surgery to a network of specialists in the Northern California region.
