Rogue Community College's dental assistant and dental hygiene students are offering full-mouth sets of X-rays free of charge during winter term.

This hands-on opportunity is available through March 18th and is part of the RCC radiology lab training, preparing students for clinical examinations.

Qualifying patients must have at least 24 teeth visible and present in the mouth, be at least 18 years old, and be eligible for a full-mouth X-ray -- meaning they have not had a full-mouth X-ray within the last three years.

A full mouth set of X-rays typically includes 18 individual films and can cost up to $250 at a dental office. By participating, patients will assist students in honing their skills while receiving X-rays at no cost. Upon request, the X-rays can be sent to your dental provider.

Carmen Mons, director of RCC's dental programs, emphasized the value of this initiative. She said the program not only benefits their students by providing essential clinical experience, but it also serves the community by offering a valuable service at no cost. She added that she appreciates the community support.

For more information on RCC's free dental X-rays, to find out if you qualify and to schedule your appointment, call Mons at (541)-956-7370.
