Dental Clinic
Offering high-quality services to the community while providing hands-on experience for our students.
In need of dental services? Are you uninsured, enrolled in Medicaid, or on a tight budget? Whether you need an exam, cleaning, filling, extraction, or other service, you can get it right here on the NWTC Green Bay campus.
While receiving quality care, you’ll be helping our students obtain hands-on experience for their future careers! Students are supervised by NWTC instructors, dentists, and registered hygienists. Depending on the service you need, you may also receive care from an area dentist who will be assisted by an NWTC student.
The NWTC Dental Clinic houses two separate clinics on the Green Bay campus:
- For a cleaning, exam, or other preventive care, visit the Dental Hygiene Clinic.
- Need a filling, extraction, or other restorative care, and are you uninsured? Contact the Dental Assistant Uninsured Clinic.
Dental Hygiene Clinic
In this clinic/learning lab, Dental Hygienist program students provide preventive services to adults and children under the supervision of a dentist and a registered hygienist, who frequently evaluate the students’ work to ensure the client receives comprehensive care. Because this is a learning environment, clients may need several appointments to complete treatment.
Open to adults and children, including individuals enrolled in Medicaid, ForwardHealth or BadgerCare.
