Rural Health Group’s Mobile Dental Unit
The dental clinic travels to schools and early education programs across five North Carolina counties.
Rural Health Group’s first mobile dental unit brings preventive care directly to children in Halifax, Northampton, Warren, Vance and Granville counties in North Carolina. The health center and its community partners explain how the mobile dental clinic reaches children at schools and early education settings, including Head Start programs.

“A brick-and-mortar clinic stays in one place. This one doesn’t. We’re going to meet the children where they are, bringing dental care to them, and help give them a healthier start.”
