Free dental X-rays offered at NWF State College
The Dental Assisting program at Northwest Florida State College is offering free dental x-rays in June and July as a service to the public and to provide practicum experience for NWFSC dental radiology students. A written request or prescription from a dentist stating the specific x-rays needed is required. The finished x-rays are given to patients so they may return to their dentist for diagnosis and any follow-up treatment that may be necessary.
Full mouth, bite-wing and panoramic x-rays are available. All patients must complete a medical history, must not have any condition such as pregnancy that would prohibit having dental x-rays, and must not have had recent dental x-rays taken.
