A community dental center that serves low income individuals and families in need of care in Livingston County is accepting new patients.
The VINA Community Dental Center clinic fully re-opened last August 2020 and has since taken care of the post-COVID rush of patients that accumulated during the five-month long closure. VINA is continuing to schedule regular check-ups and hygiene appointments for current patients. During this time of the year, the clinic schedules less basic dental appointments - making now the ideal time for new patients to apply and have their first appointment. With the economic impact of COVID-19, officials say many Livingston County residents now qualify for VINA but may not be aware. VINA provides a multitude of services, depending on the dental needs of each patient. Services include oral cancer screenings, fillings, cleanings, x-rays, extractions, crowns, dental education
