Dental Clinic Talking - zeta dental fr

As the Rice Regional Dental Clinic approaches its five-year anniversary next month, officials say it is living up to its promise of improving rural access to dental care and training a future generation of dental professionals.

The program, a partnership between Rice Memorial Hospital and the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, may be “the most successful example” of statewide outreach efforts by the School of Dentistry, said Dr. Leon Assael, dean of the dentistry school.

“We’re committed to this program,” he said. “This is an essential part of who we are and what we do.”
