Abstract:

Vulnerable populations are more likely to access medical care than visit a dentist. We introduced a dental team into a student-faculty collaborative clinic that serves a low-income Latino population. Documentation of oral exam findings rose from 11.88% to 50.50% in the year following integration of dental students into the clinic.
