Mobile Dental Clinic Survey


A mobile dental clinic provides local, community access to preventative dental services for children and adults who may be unable to get to a dentist's office. A mobile dental clinic is a dentist's office that is inside a fully accessible Recreational Vehicle (RV) or bus that has a dentist and trained staff to provide dental care. The Agency for Persons with Disabilities, the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council, The Family Care Council, and the Arc of Florida are seeking input on a proposed Mobile Dental Clinic. Please answer the following questions to help us determine your interest in this project.
