The UNLV School of Dental Medicine opened the Advanced Needs Dental Clinic, providing essential care for newborns and children with cleft lips and palates, as well as other patients with special needs. Nevada was previously one of the two states without a formal cleft palate and craniofacial team, forcing families to seek treatment elsewhere. The new clinic will also be equipped to offer services at reduced or no cost. Now, families can find the care they need close to home — a major step forward in UNLV’s top tier mission of improving health care in our community.
