Mobile Dentistry Unit Continues To Serve Horsemen

The Mobile Dentist, which began visiting Laurel Park last fall and had a weekly presence last winter beginning in January, has begun serving the backstretch community at Pimlico Race Course.

On Tuesday, Aug. 16, nine people were treated in the mobile unit, which provides full-service dental care. Another 13 people have signed up for future visits.

Plans call for Mobile Dentist, based in Silver Spring, Md., to be on site at Pimlico once every two weeks, though the schedule is determined on weekly basis depending on demand and other clients that use the Mobile Dentist service. Visits are expected to continue through the fall.
