On August 12, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) opened its
first oral health clinic, specializing in dental care for HIV-positive
individuals, next door to AHF’s Downtown Healthcare Center in Los Angeles.
The clinic offers a full range of general services and
relies on the University of Southern California and the University of
California, Los Angeles Schools of Dentistry for specialty services such as
root canals.
According to Dr. Mark Davis, DDS, head of the new AHF
Downtown Dental Office, Los Angeles County’s Department of HIV and STD Programs
has been increasing dental care services for those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in
an acknowledgement of the need for those services, and the opening of the new
AHF clinic is a part of that expansion.
The clinic hopes to have the resources available by the end
of 2013 to provide services to approximately 9,000 clients in Los Angeles.
The clinic is located at 1414 S. Grand Avenue, Suite 485 and
operates Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
For further information, please call (213) 744–1752.
