Dental Hygiene Clinic at WKU

Every effort is made to accommodate patients, however, patients are appointed on the basis of the instructional needs of the student.  Please note that being seen in WKU's Dental Hygiene Clinic is not a substitute for your primary care dentist. O.S.H.A. and A.D.A. infection control guidelines are adhered to.
