Hawkeye Community College served 180 individuals during its first Summer Dental Clinic.

Held on select dates in July, the clinic provided dental exams, x-rays, teeth cleanings, preventative treatment, and restorative care at no charge. In total, 903 dental procedures were completed, saving patients a combined $72,704 – an average of $403.91 per person.

“These numbers represent so much more than statistics—they reflect the incredible teamwork, dedication, and compassion of our faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and community partners,” said Brianne Martin, the dental hygiene instructor who organized the clinic. “Every patient we were able to see is someone who now has improved access to dental care, and that's something to celebrate.”

The free summer clinic follows closely on the heels of the Give Kids a Smile® event held on April 3, 2026, which provided free dental care to nearly 50 kids.

Hawkeye Community College offers one of six dental hygiene programs in Iowa, and one of four programs that provide preventative and periodontal care in an on-site community college-based clinic. Each year Hawkeye’s Dental Clinic sees more than 800 community patients, providing quality dental care and crucial hands-on clinical training for Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene students.

Plans are already underway for the 2027 summer clinic, though the clinic is open all year to the general public. To learn more about the Hawkeye Dental Clinic and its offerings, visit www.hawkeyecollege.edu/dental-clinic or call 319-296-1030 to schedule an appointment.
