Mercer County Health Department Mobile Dental Clinic
The Tooth mobile, affectionately named and decorated with graphic artwork designs using ideas from school children, is a 36 foot-long Winnebago, fully equipped with dental chairs, x-ray, and other equipment. Through a partnership with area dentists, and Carl Sandburg College, Dental Hygiene School, it provides preventative community based dental services to children in Mercer County and surrounding areas as resources allow. The clinic also refers to local dentists for more extensive dental work which can not be done on the Tooth Mobile. Payment for services is accepted through Kidcare, Medicaid, or private pay clients in need of a provider. Limited grant funds are available for income eligible children.
