Historical February 1977 reporting. Health information, services, fees and meeting dates describe the original period, not current medical guidance or availability.
The Clinic has long known that there is a need for easily accessible dental services in our neighborhood. But, despite the fact that we have dental gear, the people and supplies just aren’t that easy to come by.
Lucky for us, we have a member of the St. Louis chapter of the Dental Hygienist’s society living in our neighborhood. She was impressed by our uterine cancer screening program in November, and thought that an oral cancer screening program in honor of Dental Hygiene Week would be a good idea—where else but at People’s Clinic!
So, finally, a beginning concerning dental services:
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1977 1:00 — 5:00 P.M.
There will be film for the kids in the waiting room, and checks for oral cancer and other problems in the examining rooms!
Sorry, no fillings, no tooth pulling, no false-teeth making! But this will be a beginning toward better dental health and that’s the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth!
