Dental SHAC es una organización dirigida por estudiantes que provee servicios dentales gratuitos a comunidades e individuos de pocos recursos; acompañar a las comunidades para desarrollar e implementar programas sostenibles; y crear un ambiente interdisciplinario de servicio y aprendizaje para los estudiantes en los programas de salud y ciencias en la universidad de Carolina del Norte en Chapel Hill.

Dental SHAC funciona con un sistema de lotería. Cada paciente escoge un número, unos números serán  escogidos al azar, y los pacientes que tienen los números escogidos recibirán tratamiento. Sin embargo, tratamos de evaluar todos los pacientes ingresados. Recomendamos que lleguen temprano (10-15 minutos antes) para entrar  a la clínica. No permitimos la entrada de pacientes que lleguen después de las 6.

Si requiere cuidado urgente, por favor refiera a La Clinica de Urgencias de la Escuela de Odontología de UNC
