Thanks to the advocacy efforts of the Illinois State Dental Society, the Illinois Dental Practice Act allows dentist and dental hygienists that are new graduates to practice under the delegation of a licensed “supervising” dentist while awaiting licensure.
Every year, families across central Illinois go without the dental care they need. RAM saw it firsthand at their last clinic—and they know the demand will be even higher this summer.
The ISDS Foundation is excited to share a list of upcoming free dental care events and clinics in Illinois that are currently seeking volunteers. If you’re interested in lending a hand - whether you’re a dental professional, student, or just want to help out - these organizations would love your support.
