Student Services will be closed Thursday, January 30 and Friday, January 31 for professional development. They will reopen on Monday, February 3. Thank you for your interest in receiving oral health care at the Pierce College Dental Hygiene Clinic. For appointments or questions, please call the clinic at Pierce College Dental Hygiene Clinic in Lakewood provides low-cost preventive and limited restorative dental service to the public.
Dental hygiene students perform all services under the expert instruction and guidance of licensed, professional dental hygienists and dentists. A free, limited oral health assessment must occur first to determine whether the person's oral health treatment needs may be provided in our dental hygiene clinic.
Not all screened patients may meet the teaching needs of our dental hygiene students. Furthermore, your dental hygiene services may take several appointments. Each of these appointments can last up to four 4 hours in length. Patients accepted to our dental hygiene clinic must be able to make this time commitment. Please note that the dental hygiene clinic is open only when the college is in session. Request Free Dental Screening.
The above hours are typical while classes are in session. We collaborate with local dental clinics and dentists to fully serve the oral health needs of our community, particularly the underserved, low income, uninsured and state-insured populations. We are happy to provide you with a referral list of local dental emergency clinics upon your request. The Commission is interested in the sustained quality and continued improvement of dental and dental-related education programs, but does not intervene on behalf of individuals or act as a court of appeal for individuals in matters of admission, appointment, promotion or dismissal of faculty, staff or students.
