Centre County is designated as a “Dental Professional Shortage Area” for low-income residents. As a result, the demand for dental care at CVIM is incredibly high – over 1,600 qualified CVIM patients are currently waiting for a dental appointment!

Dental Care Can Be a Matter of Life or Death

Oral health is very important to a person’s overall health. If not treated, advanced tooth decay and gum disease can intensify other health issues and result in permanent tooth loss, septic infections and even death.
