Ceremony celebrates rural dental health aide program
Anchorage, Alaska (AP)
Rural Alaskans swapped stories of rural dentistry woes during December at a ceremony celebrating Alaska’s new dental health aide therapist program. The program is the first of its kind in the United States and is meant to address chronic dental problems in the Bush by training students to perform more complex procedures on patients. These dental therapists will eventually augment the services of fully trained dentists, who are rarely available in bush communities. They will not receive full dental training. |
