Free dental treatments for Illinois Valley Community College students, faculty, and staff are available; however, appointments are extended to the general public at a reduced cost.
IVCC’s Dental Assisting program is offering dental services such as cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealings, and more at no cost for students, staff, and faculty. For the general public, it will cost $30 per appointment. This program does not offer services like fillings or extractions.
The appointments are on Fridays from 8 to noon. Lyndsey Beetz, IVCC’s Dental Hygiene Coordinator, states, “We are working with students, so sometimes the appointments run a little longer.”
The dental clinic is in building G on the IVCC campus. There is currently a waitlist, so it might take some time for an appointment date. Anyone interested can schedule an appointment by calling (815)-244-0227 or by emailing [email protected]. For any questions, email [email protected].
