A mobile dental service is coming to Clermont this May and locals are encouraged to make an appointment.
The dental service is hosted through the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) – Queensland Section and offers a range of services including oral health maintenance, x-rays, extractions, and treatment of pre-existing or acute conditions.
The purpose-built mobile facility is a part of the RFDS’ commitment to linking regional communities across Queensland with holistic health care.
The mobile dental service is a pivotal service in the RDFS arsenal, and 2023 “marks our 10th year of operation.”
According to RFDS Chief Executive Officer Meredith Staib, the service, plus the other aeromedical and emergency retrieval services “continues to increase the ways in which RFDS supports those living, working and playing across Queensland.”
“Being able to take such comprehensive oral health services to regional communities such as Clermont saves people having to travel long distances, helping to overcome the barriers that stop people seeking treatment.”
In 2022 alone, the RFDS Dental Service completed 264 clinic stays, with 1,629 patients across over 20 regional locations.
Clermont locals are prompted to arrange a time to see the RFDS Dental team, when they are in town Wednesday, May 3 to Thursday, May 11, with limited times now available.
The RFDS Principal Dentist, Stevie Dilley, who will lead the Clermont stay, said, “while visiting the dentist can be a bit daunting, our RFDS team are not only professionals at oral health, but also in making the experience comfortable.”
Locals can arrange a time to see the dentists calling 1800 002 507.
