If part of your new year’s resolution includes taking better care of your mouth, UMKC’s School of Dentistry is looking for you.

The school is looking for patients for the National Dental Boards Clinical Exam on April 1 – 3.

They are looking for patients who haven’t been to the dentist in a while, need small fillings, and need a deep cleaning. 

Upper class students looking to get their dental license will perform the free services as part of their test.

People who are interested must go to a dental screening Saturday, January 23 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.   You can schedule an appointment by calling 816-673-3233.

Patients must qualify under all the following criteria:

  • Must be over 18 years old
  • Must be in good overall health
  • Must attend appointments
  • Currently not in braces
  • Do not have any dentures or need for dentures
  • Must have over 16 teeth with molar back teeth
  • Not currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment
  • Must be available during the weekend of April 1 during the National Dental Boards Exam
