A Mobile Dental Van can be the best choice for dental students to learn and practice on the various dental procedures required to graduate. There are benefits for dental colleges to allow the dental students to practice dentistry training using a Mobile Dental Van. The primary benefit is to expose the students to the social responsibilities opportunities to pursue in the future. It is the moral obligation of all to offer help to society members who are in strained circumstances, poor, deprived or disadvantaged. Dental and medical students in conjunction with the universities, social groups and government agencies can provide the dental and medical services gratis or at discounted prices to the underprivileged among us by using Mobile Dental/Medical Vans. The benefits for the students are that they practice and train for their graduation and the benefit for society at large is that the services are made available to the segment of population with needs.

All dental college students are required to learn to do dental procedures during their time at the college. The learning process gets advanced as the students make progress over the years it takes to graduate. All the dental students are required to purchase dental instruments to acquire familiarity and for practical training. Many dental colleges expect their senior level graduating dental students to work in the dental clinic environments furnished like a dental office in which they will work after graduation. These dental colleges are generally equipped with the state of the art dental clinic with dental equipment and instruments. Many dental equipment, supply and instrument manufacturers work very closely with the dental colleges to offer them their products gratis or at a discounted price which may familiarize the students to their products and may be they will buy the same items when they open their new dental clinic after graduation.

Foreign dental professionals are required to do additional training in the USA based dental colleges and also pass the exam before they can secure the license to practice in the continental USA. Many states may also have their unique requirements to practice in their states. These dental students may have to purchase some dental equipment, hand pieces and instruments to practice for their practical exam. These foreign Dental Professionals can also be trained in the mobile Dental vans and also serve underserved communities while training.

The dental clinics run by the dental colleges have dual functions making their primary function nebulous. Dental college based dental clinics provide all the dental services including basic procedures like hygiene/cleaning, fillings, x-ray diagnostics, fluoride treatment, sealants plus complex procedures oral surgery, periodontal, orthodontic and implants to the patients who may find private dentist fees very high. The dental colleges may charge patients based on their income level.

Generally senior level graduating dental students perform the dental procedures in conjunction with a qualified dentist or the specialist from the dental faculty. The dental students get their training and the patients can get low fee dental service which is a win-win position. The dental services can also be extended to the populations in the remote areas using Mobile Dental Van.

Global communities in the rural and underserved areas cannot reach the routine dental and medical help they deserve. In case of health related emergencies the patients in the remote areas die disproportionately compared with populations residing in the major metropolises having an abundance of dental and medical facilities.

All the dental colleges can extend their dental services to the population in the rural, underserved and remote areas using a Mobile Dental Van. The patients located in these geographical areas may not have transportation and/or money to reach the dental clinics located miles away from their residence. The state or the city government and the social organizations may be willing to join these dental colleges to make the dental services available at their door steps with a Mobile Dental Van equipped with dental equipment and senior graduating dental students. Especially children living in these underserved areas need the basic dental education and dental services. Many medical issues with children may be due to the absence of basic dental hygiene. It is probably less expensive to offer these children dental services, schooling and lunches by mobile dental vans and mobile educational van compared to the cost incurred by the government when these children reach adulthood with more intense issues including the psychological problems and crimes.

The Mobile Dental Vans can be completely self-contained and equipped with all the dental equipment necessary to perform basic and complex dental procedures by the dental college students. This concept of dental service by mobile dental van and dental students must be on the high priority of the government institutions in conjunction with social organizations and dental colleges. Many dental colleges have incorporated mobile dental vans in their curriculums so the blueprint is already available for other dental colleges to use the experience of the dental colleges that are active in mobile dental van service.
