Proposal <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Revenue Projections: <br /> <br />Option 1: With a full service operation ( 250 clinic days per year with a minimum of 9-10 <br />patients per day) and a full time s~aff ( a full time dentist, two dental assistants or one assistant <br />and one dental hygienist, and one clerk), it is possible that $20,000-$30,000 could be <br />generated each year for payment toward the cost ora mobile unit. This amount is the <br />projected surplus revenue available a~ter operating expenses are met. <br /> <br />Option 2: Revenue currently generated by the program offsets operating expenses but has not <br />as yet produced a surplus. <br /> <br />Community_ Support: <br /> <br />Both alternatives would help address the dental needs of Cabarrus County children. The <br />Cabarms County Dental Society has gone on record as supporting the purchase of a mobile <br />dental unit for the purpose of treating indigent children. The school systems have been very <br />supportive of the children's dental program. The advantage of the mobile unit is the easy <br />access it provides for children in need of dental care. A mobile unit could be used in a <br />number of locations in addition to the school sites currently served, thus enhancing the Health <br />Department's ability to meet the dental health needs of Cabarrus County children. <br /> <br />6/17/96 - Presented to the Board of Commissione~ - No action taken. <br /> <br /> <br />
