The Dental Hygiene Program operates a clinic in which our students treat patients under the supervision of dental hygiene faculty members. Every effort is made to accommodate patients, however, patients are appointed on the basis of the instructional needs of the student. All new patients require a minimum of two (2) appointments. Our clinic is located in the lower level of the Student Center Building in room D-103.
Appointments to receive dental hygiene treatment in our clinic may be made in person or by calling (678) 466-4920. Appointments are made during the hours that the clinic is in operation. This allows the caller to speak with a receptionist. We have many requests for appointments and sometimes it is difficult to get through on the phone. If you reach our voice mail system it means that either the receptionist is away from the appointment desk momentarily OR is on the phone with another caller. It is best to continue to try to reach the receptionist. Due to the number of calls we receive, it is sometimes difficult to return voice mail messages. The clinic e-mail address is: dhclinic@clayton.edu and is picked up every clinic session. University policy and applicable state laws, require that all children be under the direct supervision of their parent or guardian at all times and may not be left alone in the waiting room.
