Abstract:
Many North Carolinians have faced the challenge of receiving dental care, because of a lack of affordability or low availability of dentists. In response to these challenges, East Carolina University established a School of Dental Medicine in 2011. Helping to overcome the challenge of affordability is a patient fund program. Helping to overcome the challenge of accessibility are eight community learning centers and ECU SoDM students who practice in state post-graduation.
