Morris said that's exactly why he got into dentistry. "I'm from northeast Oklahoma and there's hardly any dental care in that area," said Austin Morris.
One of those OU dental students will be Austin Morris. "We're going to have about 17 dental chairs providing everything from, like I said, cleanings to fillings to extractions to implants," said Mullasseril.Ĭare will be provided by third and fourth year dental students, under the supervision of licensed dental faculty members. It will offer comprehensive oral health care services to patients of all ages. The clinic is the first of several OU College of Dentistry clinical extensions anticipated throughout the state. He said any patient that needs care can use the new clinic at OU-Tulsa. So, having a facility closer to home will help them in terms of getting their dental care," said Mullasseril. The College of Dentistry Dean said 10 to 15 percent of people from northeast Oklahoma travel to Oklahoma City for dental care. Just 58% percent of Oklahomans receive routine dental care, so having an affordable option here in Tulsa is going to help considerably," Paul Mullasseril, Dean of OU College of Dentistry. "Having a presence here in Tulsa will help that considerably. The University of Oklahoma said the new clinic will not only serve as a student learning center, but it will also provide dental care to community members in need of affordable services. It's all part of a $2 million gift from the Delta Dental of Oklahoma and Delta Dental of Oklahoma Foundation. The University of Oklahoma will soon have a dental clinic on the OU-Tulsa Campus.
