Giving free dental care

POCATELLO — For many, a dental visit can be a daunting prospect. For those without insurance or the means to pay, it can be impossible.

Long, 53, is an associate clinical professor at Idaho State University’s Department of Dental Hygiene. A graduate of the program, she has taught students in clinical settings since 1989. It has been a full and fulfilling job. About three years ago, she started volunteering at the Free Dental Clinic. It has become a labor of love.

Dental health goes hi-tech
