Welcome to the Dental Hygiene Clinic at Stark State College. Our students and our highly qualified dental professionals are looking forward to providing you with educational, preventive and therapeutic dental hygiene services at a nominal fee. Our services are available to all area residents age five and older.

Due to the educational nature of a clinic, your treatment will progress at a slower pace than in a dentist’s office but you can be assured that your quality of care meets the highest standards.

Thank you for participating in a program that benefits both our patients and our allied dental health professions students who will become your future dental service providers.

For additional information or to make an appointment, call 330-305-6610.
