Volunteer Instructions

Oral Health Day 2018

Dental Team 

Thank you for your time and efforts to make this event a success! 

 

Once patients have cleared the health screening area, they move with their forms to the dental triage waiting area located in the Dental School Lobby. At this point a volunteer dentist/student will screen/triage them in ODS and determine which dental procedures should occur. The patients will be directed to the appropriate waiting area, i.e. cleaning, filling, extraction, and called when space is available. The treating dentist/student or hygienist is responsible for collecting all forms from the patient, tracking services performed, and placing all forms into a central repository for data entry.
