Clayton State University’s Dental Hygiene Clinic is looking for young patients. The clinic has a shortage of children patients, especially those with baby and permanent teeth. “To meet their graduation requirements, senior dental hygiene students are required to provide oral care for a certain number of children,” said Dr. Gail Barnes, chair of the Department of Dental Hygiene which runs the clinic. The clinic is one of the university’s busiest and best-known public outreach programs. Clinic appointments are available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. For a nominal fee, Clayton State Dental Hygiene students provide dental cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments and x-rays under the direction of dental health clinical faculty. Call (678) 466-4920 for details or to schedule an appointment.
