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 March 25 - 28. 

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 28 from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. You can schedule an appointment by calling 913-608-4511.
