Dental Hygiene Student Looking for Patients in need of deep cleaning

Hi, I am a senior dental hygiene student at Seattle Central College. We are responsible for finding our own patients for each quarter who meet our requirements for graduation. I am currently looking for patients who are in need of a deep cleaning. Typically this applies to patients who have not had their teeth cleaned in 5+ years. Honestly, the longer it has been since your last cleaning the more likely you are to qualify as a patient. I have several free screening exams open in the next 2 months that will allow me to see if you qualify to be a patient at our clinic. These screening exams typically last about 30 minutes and are only meant to assess whether or not you qualify for our graduation requirements. Upon qualification we can begin to schedule you for assessment and cleaning appointments.

The SCC Dental clinic accepts Washington State expanded medicaid plans (one cleaning per year is covered). Out-of-pocket prices in our clinic are extremely modest: $18 dollars for new patient assessment and DDS exam, $28 of full mouth x-rays and panoramic, and $22-44 for cleaning each quadrant or sextant of the mouth (depending on difficulty). If you are paying out of pocket, fees are due at the time the service is rendered which is typically over the course of 4+ appointments.

All services are carried out by dental hygiene students under direct supervision of attending registered dental hygienists and licensed dentists.

Since this is a learning environment more time commitment is required; however, the service provided is top-notch.

Please PM me if you are interested in this service and believe you may qualify. You will be contributing to the education and graduation requirements of a dental hygiene student in the Seattle area. Thank you!
