College of Dentistry to offer free dental services for UK students

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – To assist in improving the oral, and overall, health of students, the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry is piloting a new service providing students at UK with easier access to select, no-cost dental care.

Students who are enrolled full-time or part-time and have paid their UK student health fee are eligible to receive dental care as part of the service. Dental exams, cleanings, select x-rays and simple restorative treatments will be available. Additional dental treatments, if needed, are available for a fee.  Students will need their UK ID at each dental appointment.

UKCD dental students will provide care under the direction of faculty and staff inside the DMD Student Clinic in the Dental Science Building. In an effort to reduce the wait time between making an appointment and being seen, appointments will be scheduled with the next available provider during normal clinic hours.
