Join us for Coffee with a Cause featuring North Charleston Dental Outreach for coffee, connection, and a morning dedicated to making a lasting impact in our community!
About NCDO: With the closure of the Charleston Naval Shipyard in the 90’s, a group of concerned individuals established the first charity dental clinic in the North Area. This was located in a small building in what was once a thriving neighborhood, but one which had fallen on hard times due the loss of jobs relating to the base closure.
For over 20 years a group of dedicated volunteers operated this facility on a limited basis treating individuals who had dental pain, but lacked money to afford care in a private office.
The new North Charleston Dental Outreach is the culmination of a vision to address an increasing need for care among the poor in our community. Many years of planning and fundraising led to the opening of a modern, 6 treatment-room clinic in the Fall of 2022.
This new facility is now open more hours each week, offering preventive and restorative services in addition to extractions. Dozens of MUSC dental and Trident Tech hygiene students are mentored each month as they render care under the supervision of our dedicated faculty.
