ABOUT US
In the year 1945, the first and the only provincial hospital in the Negros Island was constructed. It became fully operational after a year. It provided health services as well as dental services, which was provided by the dental department. During that time, the dental services provided by the dental department were only limited to tooth extraction and dental check-up, which was then under the leadership of Dr. Alonzo. Back then, the said services were offered for free to the public until the dental department was headed by Dr. Rosito Tan when tooth extraction was billed for Php 20.00. In 2002 peri-apical x-ray of the tooth was available with the acquisition of the new dental peri-apical x-ray machine. It was sometime in 2005 when the dental department offered additional dental services such as restoration and oral prophylaxis, apart from tooth extraction. At present, the dental department offers tooth extraction, impaction, oral prophylaxis and tooth restoration, and also tooth x-ray.
