Through the UF Statewide Network for Community Oral Health, the college provides affordable, high-quality dental care for thousands of low-income adults and children in Florida.
The network includes five college-owned centers and 11 affiliated centers located throughout the state where DMD students and residents complete dental rotations in affiliated centers where almost all patients live at or below 200% of federal poverty levels.
