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 call 860-773-1681 Monday through Thursday, during the academic year which is August 25 to May 1.
