Delta Dental Foundation has made a $56,000 grant for University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry to establish a four-chair portable dental clinic within the ACCESS facility in Dearborn.
ACCESS, an acronym for Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, is the largest Arab-American human services nonprofit in the United States. The group’s eight locations and more than 100 programs that serve metro Detroit offer a wide range of social, economic, health and educational services to a diverse population.
School of Dentistry students and faculty will be able to perform dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, sealants, restorative care, extractions and emergency services at the ACCESS clinic.
Delta Dental is a longtime partner with Detroit Mercy Dental, most recently donating $490,000 for the purchase of a mobile dental coach, which travels Wayne County providing dental care to students in underserved communities.
