Elks Mobile Dental Program
The Elks Mobile Dental Program provides basic dental care for children
with special health care needs and other special populations, through
a public-private partnership among the Elks Benevolent Trust, the
Department of Hospital Dentistry at Truman Medical Center East,
and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
Utilizing three dental vans, the program brings accessible dental
care to the areas of the state that need it most. All three mobile
dental vans are staffed with a licensed dentist and dental assistant.
Each dental van contains two dental units with x-ray equipment and
a waiting area adjacent to the treatment area. The vans are fully
accessible with the addition of a wheelchair lift. Since they are
self-contained, all that the units require are a place to park and
access to utilities.
