Better Oral Health Starts at the Tunxis Dental Hygiene Clinic at the UConn School of Medicine
The Tunxis Dental Hygiene Clinic provides community members with high-quality oral health education and preventive services delivered by students under the supervision of our professional dental hygiene faculty. In delivering these services to you, our students receive hands-on clinical instruction and become prepared to act as healthcare clinicians and leaders.
Dental Services
Evening appointments are only available from September to May.
Dental services are determined after a dental exam and based upon patient/client needs. The procedures may include prophylaxis, fluoride treatment, x-rays, sealants, nutritional counseling, oral hygiene instructions, and oral cancer screenings. All clients in need of additional dental care beyond the scope of dental hygiene practice receive a referral.
All students are supervised by faculty who are licensed dental professionals.
The clinic accepts all patients/clients who meet the educational needs of the program. The dental hygiene clinic accepts direct pay, as well as Husky.
To make an appointment in this clinic please email Dental Scheduler or call 860-773-1681 Monday through Thursday, during the academic year which is August 25 to May 1.
