Dental Hygiene Clinic

Clayton State’s mission to be an integral part of the local community is evident by the work of our students and faculty in the University’s dental hygiene clinic.

Located on campus, the clinic provides dental hygiene services to residents seeking safe, accessible and affordable preventive oral care.

Additionally, dental hygiene students help promote good oral care and gain practical experience by treating patients under the supervision of dental hygiene faculty members.

The clinic offers a number of services including oral health screenings, x-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatment, nutritional counseling and teeth whitening services.

As a friendly reminder, this is a learning facility. We ask patients to be understanding and patient as treatment may take up to 4 hours and may require multiple appointments. Please be kind and courteous to our students as they obtain their experience to become outstanding licensed dental hygienists.
