Free dental clinic offered through BTC

Bellingham Technical College (BTC) is offering free dental work for volunteer patients throughout its summer session, running through August 27. BTC will open its fully operational dental clinic for exams, X-rays, cleanings, simple fillings and sealants completely free to eligible patients, according to a July 17 press release.

Appointments are available on Mondays and Fridays, with two time slots available at 8:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. The clinic is located at Building C on the BTC Campus, 3028 Lindbergh Avenue in Bellingham.

With dental students still learning and their work being overseen by licensed professionals, prospective patients should expect appointments to last upward of three hours. The clinic is not intended for emergency dental work, so those with acute dental pain should look to their primary dental facility.

Contact the clinic at dental@btc.edu and indicate what days and times work best for you. For more information, visit btc.edu/dentalclinic.
