County clinic meets high demand for low cost dental care
The Douglas County Dental Clinic grew from a 1998 coalition of dentists and health professionals to serve a high need area identified by the National Health Service Corps. Funded largely by United Methodist Health Ministry Fund and donors, it uses a sliding-fee scale for incomes up to twice the poverty line, up to 36,200 for a family of four. The clinic offers routine cleaning, root canals, crowns and bridges, but not dentures, aiding patients like Moore who rely on disability payments for dental care. Rhea emphasizes dental health as essential, linking it to overall health and heart disease.
