For those living in poverty, high costs can make even the most basic dental care out of reach. That’s why in 2004, the OUGM opened the Community Dental Clinic, a modern two-chair clinic housed on site. At the clinic, a dedicated team of dental professionals volunteer their time to provide emergency dental care to uninsured impoverished adults residing in Thurston County.
