SOS clinic thanks students from School
of Dentistry
The SOS clinic, the common name for the Share Our Selves clinic, located
in Costa Mesa, serves as a clinic for residents of Orange County who do
not have access to regular dental care. The clinic provides medical and
dental care, clothes, food, money, and other assistance, and is sponsored
by Hoag Hospital in Costa Mesa.
A group of four to six senior dental students travel to Costa Mesa one
Sunday a month to work at the clinic. They are able to perform a full
range of restorative dentistry including fillings and cleaning.
Loma Linda University School of Dentistry students enjoy their work at
the clinic because Ňthey are able to use state-of-the-art equipment and
materials,Ó says Jerome Jablonski, DDS, assistant professor of dental
educational services.
Recently, the clinic presented a certificate to the School of Dentistry.
The certificate noted that ŇDr. Jablonski and the students are to be commended
for voluntary service and dedication to our mission of serving the impoverished
of Orange County. Bestowed by the Share Our Selves Free Medical and Dental
Clinic on this 28th day of April, in the year 1998.Ó
