Who:  Dentists and their Assistant (working under the  Fla. Dept. of Health volunteer program).  If you are a Florida licensed dentist or dental assistant, we invite you to come partner with us for half a day, a whole day, or an evening.

 

Patients:  Those adults and children six years old and older who have met the Florida Department of Health guidelines for neediness and have been screened/scheduled as appointments by Woodland volunteers

 

How:  The "Mobile Dental Unit" is a fully equipped, state of the art dental office on wheels.  All supplies and equipment are provided.

 

Liability:  You will work under the Sovereign Immunity granted by the Florida Dept. of Health for volunteers working with those who are at or below the 150% poverty guidelines.  Details at the Web link above.  Dentists will sign the Fla. DOH's VHCPP Contract Application we will provide (as would a hygienist working as your assistant since they are licensed too.  Regular dental assistants--like all other volunteers--would fall under the DOH 110 Volunteer provision).

 

Affiliation:  The Florida Baptist Convention mobile unit is one of the “Project Dentists Care Affiliates," associated with the Florida Dental Association.
