The Community Health Northwest Florida mobile dental unit will make monthly visits to Century starting in November 2025.
As part of Community Health Northwest Florida’s continuing mission to make healthcare available to everyone, our mobile dental unit will begin making regular visits to the town of Century starting in November.
The first mobile dental day in Century is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Monday, November 24. Dates for subsequent visits will be announced at a later time.
“The dental department is excited to once again provide much-needed dental consults, exams and cleanings to the citizens of Century, utilizing our mobile dental unit, “says Dr. Gabriel Hernandez, DDS, who also serves as CHNWF’s Chief Dental Officer. “We look forward to providing much-needed dental access to a population with limited options for dental care.”
Essentially a portable dentist office on wheels, our dental unit has the capability of providing multiple chairs for basic dental examinations and cleaning. It’ll be working outside of our Century office at 6021 Industrial Boulevard, off Highway 4.
To make an appointment with our mobile dental team for the Century visit, please call (850) 912-8880, Ext. 13065.
“Our mobile dental unit benefits our community by making quality healthcare convenient and accessible, which in turn improves patient outcomes,” says Chandra Smiley, CEO of CHNWF. “Providing access to dental care in Century is a perfect example of what a mobile unit can do to overcome healthcare barriers, especially among vulnerable populations and in rural communities without easy access to healthcare facilities.”
The interior of the Community Health Northwest Florida mobile dental unit looks just like a dentist office.
In addition to the mobile dental unit, Community Health Northwest Florida provides dental services at three locations: Fairfield Dental in the Escambia County Health Department building on Fairfield Drive just west of Palafox Street, at Cantonment Pediatrics on Highway 29 just south of International Paper, and at our Milton office at 6671 Caroline Street.
Our full dental care offices provide routine cleanings and hygiene visits, oral health education, exams and x-rays, tooth extractions, sealants and fluoride varnish for children, and fillings.
