URM | USC Dentistry
Dental problems such as persistent pain, tooth loss, and gum disease can cause relentless suffering among men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. That’s why the USC School of Dentistry opened a clinic at URM in 1999.
Faculty, students, and interns from the USC School of Dentistry coordinate all patient services. The six-chair Dental Clinic provides comprehensive care completely free of charge and conducts more than 5,000 dental-care visits per year.
These services are not offered to URM guests alone — we have opened the doors of our Dental Clinic to all the neighboring shelters and programs serving underprivileged people in the downtown Los Angeles area. We are also the only dental clinic on Skid Row to offer care to children.
