Dental Day
Annually, the first Friday in February UNMC holds a Dental Day for our youth across Nebraska. Public Health Solutions has partnered with UNMC to make sure youth, that need dental check-ups, can get services the need for their health and wellbeing.
UNMC’s yearly Dental Day provides an opportunity for uninsured and underinsured children to get free dental work.
PHS is committed to helping children access this free service, Dental Day, by providing the necessary screening, and limited transportation services for children from our area.
PHS takes part in Dental Day to ensure children receive care they may not receive otherwise.
Dental Day targets those that are uninsured or underinsured. However, those children with Medicaid are also able to attend if they have difficulty finding a dentist who works locally.
To participate, parents must complete following the registration form:
