Free dental van needs more dentists

COOS BAY – It’s a program that provides free dental service to hundreds of people on the South Coast, who don’t have adequate medical insurance. But, now, it’s in need of more help to meet growing demand.
Sponsored by Oregon Coast Community Action, a mobile dental van visits the area several times throughout the year, serving 10 patients at a time.
It’s a full service clinic that provides x-rays, fillings and extractions.
But, just recently, the waiting list has grown to more than 125 patients, with not enough dentists and trained support staff to help.
