Free Dental Screenings in Borrego Springs


DAP Health’s Mobile Dental Unit will be in Borrego Springs on Tuesday, September 16, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Community Resource Center.


This event provides free dental screenings and protective treatment for all ages. The unit will be closed for lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.


Building on Recent Success


Earlier this year, on May 14, the CRC hosted a similar one-day pop-up clinic in partnership with DAP Health. The Mobile Dental Unit was stationed outside The Mall on Palm Canyon Drive, making preventive care easy to access for local residents.


Why It Matters


Access to dental care can be challenging in rural areas. By bringing services directly to Borrego Springs, DAP Health makes it possible for community members to receive preventive screenings, oral health information, and protective treatment without leaving town.


Expanding Healthcare Access


DAP Health continues to strengthen local healthcare through its integration with Borrego Health. Current offerings include primary care, pediatrics, women’s health, mental health, dentistry, the MyChart patient portal, and the Borrego Springs Pharmacy.


Supporting Community Health


The Community Resource Center is proud to provide space for programs that support wellness in Borrego Springs. Alongside food assistance and transportation support, hosting the Mobile Dental Unit reflects the CRC’s commitment to improving healthcare access for all residents.
