Dental Van Providing Care to Kids in El Dorado County
Last week, a mobile dental clinic, called the Children's Dental Van, started providing dental services to children in El Dorado County. First 5 El Dorado provided the funding to purchase and equip the van, while the county's Office of Education is providing a driver, maintenance and van storage. The Shingle Springs Tribal Health Program contracts with dental staff and the El Dorado County Health Services Department coordinates appointments.
