QCC's Dental Hygiene Clinic is once again offering free preventative dental services to anyone aged 55 or older, as well as active military members and veterans. The clinic, located at QCC’s West Boylston Street campus, offers dental assessments, teeth cleaning, x-rays and fluoride treatments. For patients who are not in the aforementioned categories, rates are $25 for adults and $20 for children.
“We currently have a relationship with Senior Connection (formerly Central Mass. Agency on Aging) through a grant that gives our senior patients free services in the dental clinic,” said Dental Clinic Operations and Facilities Manager Sheryl Ficorilli.
The grant, which began in January of 2022, has supported over 750 senior patients. The program also provides transportation to and from the dental hygiene clinic.
QCC’s dental hygiene students are required to spend a certain number of hours in direct patient care and the patients from this program provide that valuable interaction.
“This helps our students gain the necessary skills to graduate and become active in the area dental community," Ficorilli added.
