care appointments now available for new patients
including licensed dentists
and registered dental
hygienists.
The students will provide
patients with a number of
dental hygiene services,
including baseline vitals,
dental examinations and
cleanings, routine x-rays,
and oral cancer screenings.
Patients will also be able to
receive fluoride treatments
and pit and fissure sealants.
Additional services, such as
mouth guards and
whitening treatments, are
provided to patients who
qualify.
The Clinic will only
provide hygiene services,
but it does have a vast
network of local dentists to
whom patients can be
referred to seek dental
procedures outside of the
scope of the Clinic.
“We’re prepared to treat
our patients to the fullest
extent possible and see them
through the entire process of
care,” explained Dr. Laura
Sleeper. “If they require
additional services, we’re
prepared to assist them in
locating a dentist that can
complete their treatment.”
Plaza’s is the only dental
hygiene program in the
borough of Queens and the
first new program in all of
New York City in the past
27 years.
In addition, the program
will fill the void in the
dental hygienist workforce
in Queens, where there are
11.5 licensed hygienists per
100,000 residents – vastly
below the national average
of 50 per 100,000.
