Definitions:
A dental clinic is a dental program with a fixed site, permanent equipment (rather than portable), employed staff and regular hours, where people may receive a full range of preventive and restorative dental care. Specialty services may or may not be available.
Mobile programs may either use a vehicle, such as a specially outfitted truck or coach, in which dental equipment has been installed, or may be mobile in the sense that they bring portable equipment to the various locations where they provide services.
Volunteer or voucher programs depend largely on health professionals who donate their time to provide dental services. Such programs in Maine are individually designed and no two are alike. A voucher program coordinates the referral to services of qualified individuals and may or may not provide some services prior to referral.
“Preventive Dental Hygiene” programs offer a range of preventive services provided by registered dental hygienists practicing under Public Health Supervision status.
