Partnership Helps Low-Income Families with Dental and Health Needs
LAS VEGAS -- Low income valley residents now have a new health clinic to go to Thanks to a community partnership. The clinic will offer and general medical and dental care.
The Women, Infants and Children or WIC clinic is located at Flamingo and Torrey Pines. Not only will the patients have access to medical care, they will also have quick access to low-cost dental care at nearby Smiles Dentistry.
"I believe it's very important because that way you don't have to travel very far, you just walk next door and get taken care of over there," said Ramona Rodriguez, WIC patient.
Smiles Dentistry, which accepts Medicaid, has been open since May and WIC has already referred 95 families to them. The dentists say the most common dental issue among children and adults is tooth decay.
