Currently we are establishing a monthly portable dental clinic to provide services such as exams, cleanings, and simple restoratives on tribal land. We are also conducting a needs assessment survey to gather information on unmet dental needs. Every year, the group promotes oral health education by participating in annual Powwows at Aquinnah, Mashpee, and Harvard.
