NICEVILLE — The Dental Assisting Program at Northwest Florida State College is offering free dental X-rays in May and June as a service to the public and to provide practicum experience for NWF State College Dental Radiography students.
A written request or prescription from a dentist stating the specific X-rays needed is required. The finished X-rays are given to the requesting dentist for diagnosis and any follow-up treatment necessary.
Full mouth, bite-wing, and panoramic ones are available using digital imaging and conventional film. All patients must complete a medical history, must not have any prohibitive health condition, such as pregnancy or uncontrolled high blood pressure, and must not have had recent dental X-rays taken.
Appointments are available 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, May 18 to June 21; and 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, May 18 to June 21. They will take place at NWFSC, 100 College Blvd., Niceville, in the Gallimore Center for Healthcare Education, Building 420, Room 408.
