Parker Family Health opens free dental clinic in New Jersey

A new free dental clinic has opened at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, New Jersey, to serve eligible Monmouth County residents. The Parker Family Health Dental Clinic provides services including cleanings, fillings, extractions, X-rays, and radiology.

The clinic specifically targets low-income residents who lack dental insurance. This initiative addresses a critical need in the region, where more than 31,000 Monmouth County residents are uninsured and frequently delay dental care until conditions become emergencies.

In addition to patient care, the clinic will serve as a training site for future dental professionals, aiming to help address shortages of hygienists, assistants, and dental radiologists in New Jersey. Parker Family Health has provided medical care to the county for 26 years, covering various specialties and primary care.
