 “Smile Again New Orleans” is a HRSA Special Project of National Significance (SPNS) Initiative to provide oral health care services to the HIV positive population of Greater New Orleans on a mobile dental van.  It is a collaborative effort with the LSU School of Dentistry, MCLNO, and the HIV Outpatient Program/HOP.  Partners include the NO/AIDS Task Force, N R Peace, and the Covenant House.  The “Smile Again, New Orleans” clinical team consists of a dentist, hygienist, and a dental assistant that provide oral healthcare services in two chairs on the mobile van. 

Diagnostic services, preventative services, and simple restorative procedures are provided.  Complicated restorative procedures are not offered on the mobile dental van.  The mobile dental van will travel to sites identified as having a significant population of those that are HIV positive and in need of oral health care services.  Appointments are made on a referral basis.  Kristin Fritzsche, Mobile Dental Clinic Coordinator, email:  kfahlb@lsuhsc.edu
