Clinical
Dental Aid provides comprehensive reduced-fee oral health care (about half the usual and customary fees charged by private dentists in our area). Dental Aid accepts Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), but also has funds to help subsidize care for individuals not covered under Medicaid or CHP+ who cannot afford our reduced fees. Dental Aid does not currently accept private insurance, but is an enrollment site for Medicaid and CHP+.
Dental Aid strongly believes children deserve to have a positive dental experience every time they visit the dentist. We employ pediatric dentists who specialize in working with children 12 years old and younger. Our pediatric dentists take young children with complex cases to The Children’s Hospital (TCH) to provide treatment under general anesthesia. This allows the dentists to complete a child’s treatment plan during one visit without making the child sit for hours in a dental chair.

Preparing For Your First Visit
Our goal at Dental Aid is for every patient to have a positive dental experience. In order to help make your first dental appointment as enjoyable and stress free as possible, we have provided a list of helpful tips:
- Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time.
- Bring a list of all of the medications you or your child is taking.
- Remember to bring any billing information, Medicaid or CHP+ card.
- Please turn your cell phone onto vibrate and relax. We want to get to know you without any distractions.
- For parents bringing their children in for appointments, speaking positively about going to the dentist and the importance and benefits of a healthy mouth will help ensure that your child has a good experience. This includes not sharing any negative experiences or stories that may worry your child. Our pediatric dentists and staff are specially trained in different techniques to examine your child’s teeth in a pain free, non-threatening manner and help them have a successful first and future visits.
Dental Aid’s fees are approximately 50% of a private dentist. We accept Medicaid, CHP+, cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express at the time of service.
We want you to know that you are valued. We look forward to meeting and helping you and your family have healthy and pain-free smiles.
