About
The Mobile Dental Van through Open Door Community Health Centers has been opporating for over 20 years, bringing much needed dental care to Humboldt’s pediatric population. By partnering with local elementary schools, we bring the care to you! With a fun child-centered approach, we are able to offer comprehensive top quality care to children without having them miss much class time and without parents having to miss work (of course, parents are welcome to attend appointments if they wish). We accept Medi-Cal/Partnership, all forms of insurance, and work with those without insurance. No child will be turned away due to inability to pay.
This is a great opportunity to:
- Establish a dental home at Open Door
- Complete the required School Oral Health Assessment form
- Prevent future pain and/or infection
- Build a healthy positive attitude around oral health

Our Mobile Dental Van
Our Experience
- We strive to create a fun and fear-free zone where children develop a positive association with dental care. Children often feel more comfortable in the van than in a traditional clinic. They feel brave and independent at school and see their friends leaving the van with smiles and prizes.
- We allow the children to play games during minor downtimes, offer music for them to listen to during treatment, and award prizes.
- We educate the children about oral health and nutrition. We aim to empower them to care about their health.
