Share your expertise & time, mentor future dental professionals & reap the blessings! Smile Unto Him (SUH) covers malpractice for licensed dental professionals treating patients at SUH.

Currently licensed RDHs &/or RDHAPs needed to provide free dental care for low-income, uninsured or underinsured Riverside County residents especially senior citizens & veterans.

SUH has strict COVID-19 protocols in place. Enhanced PPEs & equipment utilized. Longer appointments scheduled to complete as much treatment as possible per visit reducing the overall number of visits & potential exposures.

Clinic has:

  • 3 treatment operatories
  • each operatory equipped with extraoral vacuum aspirator, air purifier & UV-C sanitizer
  • portable dental x-ray machine
  • digital panoramic area
  • 3 mobile computer carts shared with operatories & radiography
  • 2 surgical microscopes
  • digital scanner & mill for same day single unit crowns,
  • ultrasonic scaler
  • sterilization center with 2 autoclaves
Variety of instruments & supplies to provide comprehensive dental care in a modern setting.

Everyone is required to:

  • use hand sanitizer
  • temperature reading & complete screening questionnaire
Standard PPEs now include bouffant or surgical caps, face shields, disposable gowns, either KN-95 & Level 3 masks.

Longer appointments scheduled for more treatment per visit resulting in fewer total visits, less PPE & turnover, less traffic & ultimately less risk of potential exposure. Patients are scheduled to minimize overlap to lessen potential exposure & never in the same area simultaneously.

Inquiries welcome.
