An affiliated Mayo Clinic hospital in Mankato, Minn., will offer patients dental services at its Eastridge Clinic, according to local news station KTOE.
Mayo Clinic received funding from the Mankato Area Foundation and Delta Dental to roll out the dental services. The health system is offering the services in conjunction with the National Children's Dental Health Month.
Patients up to age 18 are eligible for the dental services. Clinicians will offer oral exams, dental cleanings, X-rays and fluoride varnishes and sealants.
Mayo Clinic hopes to address the disparities in oral healthcare access by offering these preventative dental services.
