Bilingual Dental Patient navigator
The navigator will establish relationships and referral pathways with agencies currently providing services to children pre-kindergarten (libraries, in- home daycares, pediatrician offices, church daycares, church nurseries, etc.). At a pre-arranged date, a public health dental hygienist provides oral health education for the agency’s children and parents, free oral health supplies, and free screenings on site. The dental patient navigator follows up with every patient without a dental home to schedule appointments for treatment and establish their dental home.
Please contact the dental clinic at Cabarrus Health Alliance at 704-920-1070.
