Friendly Dental Van Facts and Information

FRIENDLY DENTAL
Friendly Dental Van Mobile Dental Program

Facts and Information

• The Friendly Dental Van (FDV) mobile dental program was founded by Dr. Gregory Abrams, a practicing dentist in Charlotte, in 2002 and has been in continuous operation for nineteen years.
• The goal of FDV is to provide comprehensive dental services to those children (and adults) who do not normally receive routine and ongoing dental care.
• FDV offers onsite comprehensive dentistry, including exam, cleaning, x-rays, sealants and any cavity treatment needed.

Who gives permission for children to be seen?

• The parent/guardian of the child must complete and sign a form giving permission for treatment to occur. Adults complete and sign their own forms.

Who pays for the treatment?

• If the patient is covered by Medicaid or North Carolina Health Choice, that information is collected and FDV processes the necessary paperwork. If the patient has private insurance, that is also accepted. We do NOT accept any cash payment.

How are liability matters handled?

• Once the patient steps onto the van, FDV assumes liability until they step off the vehicle. Verification of comprehensive insurance coverage (Certificate of Liability) is available upon request.
