History
The Northern Virginia Dental Clinic is a private non-profit 501(c) (3) organization. It was established in 1994 by members of the Northern Virginia Dental Society who wanted to contribute a critically-needed service to the community while preserving the dignity of the underserved. A unique, public/private partnership between dental professionals, local governments and social service agencies was formed.
Our Goal
To determine the current state of oral health of each individual referred to the Northern Virginia Dental Clinic, develop a detailed treatment plan, and return each individual to an infection free and functional state of oral health. Additionally, we strive to educate each individual in the importance of proper home care techniques.
Our Mission
The establishment of a health care dental facility in which volunteer dentists, dental hygienists, and auxiliaries can provide health care services for the indigent population of Northern Virginia.
