In a continued effort to reduce health disparities, Ascension Seton Dental Clinic, located in Ascension St. Francis Hospital in Milwaukee, has been providing urgent care dental services to those who are underinsured or uninsured for more than 20 years. Last year, Ascension Seton Dental Clinic treated more than 2,800 patients.
 
Partnering with schools across Southeastern Wisconsin, multiple homeless shelters, community clinics and additional locations across Milwaukee County, Ascension Seton Dental offers examinations, X-rays, cavity treatment, basic extractions and treats emergencies.
 
Dentists and registered dental hygienists at Ascension Seton Dental understand the connection between healthy teeth and gums, and systemic health, particularly in areas of cardiovascular health, management of diabetes, improvement of maternal health and pediatric health.
 
In November of 2022, Ascension Seton Dental Clinic expanded its reach beyond Ascension St. Francis, and is providing urgent dental care services at Outreach Community Health Center (OCHC), a Federally Qualified Health Center. The Ascension Seton Dental Urgent Care Clinic at OCHC is open two days per week, with the ability to expand days and hours based on patient need.
 
The Ascension Seton Mobile Dental program continues to provide an even wider reach and improved access throughout the community. The mobile dental program supports adults and children at various community settings, such as Ascension Angel of Hope Clinic, Ascension St. Ben’s Clinic, early learning centers, schools and homeless shelters.
