East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) is offering emergency dental care in East Providence for adults during the month of January 2021. Appointments will be held aboard The Molar Express, a 42-foot long mobile dental van that EBCAP shares with two other partners – Comprehensive Community Action Program and Thundermist Health Center.

The Molar Express is part of EBCAP's Community Dental Program for children, and it
travels to schools and locations in the community providing preventive and restorative dental care for kids, regardless of their family's insurance status or ability to pay. It was made possible by a grant from Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern New England. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, EBCAP has been temporarily authorized to use the van to see adults with dental emergencies.

For information visit this program's page on EBCAP's website, or to book an appointment call 401-848-6697, ext. 103.
