The Wilkes Public Health Mobile Dental Clinic began operation in 2001. For the past 18 years, the Mobile Dental Clinic has treated children in the Wilkes County School System; school children are seen when parents or guardians return a signed, completed consent form for treatment to the school.  Currently, the mobile clinic also serves both children and adults around the county by appointment (call 336-903-7303).  Our first treatment location was Boomer Ferguson Elementary School in 2001. Since then we have expanded our program to include: All 23 Wilkes County public schools, Eckerd Connections, 2 local daycares, 4 rural community health centers and 2 local nursing home facilities.
