The Winslow Indian Health Care Center, Inc. Dental Department serves the Winslow Area of the Navajo Nation that encompasses 1,600 square miles and serves over 16,000 people. The primary clinical site is the Winslow Health Center, an accredited comprehensive ambulatory Center. Two additional clinics in Dilkon and Leupp are within 35 miles of the Center and supplement its services. In 2006 Winslow added a two chair mobile unit to assist its school-based programs.
The Winslow Dental Department employs seven dentists, two dental hygienists, twelve dental assistants, and five office staff. The Dental Department works in collaboration with dental students from Tufts University, University of North Carolina and Arizona School of Dental and Oral Health as well as dental residents from Lutheran Medical Center. There are also collaborative agreements for dental hygiene students from Northern Arizona University and University of New Haven. We are proud to offer a Dental Residency Program as well as a generous loan repayment program.
The treatment philosophy of the Dental Program encourages preventive dentistry with an emphasis on patient responsibility. The Department provides a full range of dental care to patients and annually sponsors Head Start Programs, the Dental Sealant Program and two School Programs.
