Dental Services

The Children's Aid Society's dental clinics - including stationary clinics based in schools and community centers, as well as a mobile dental van - provide quality dental care to children in New York City's underserved neighborhoods.

Dental services are designed to complement children's medical needs by providing primary care such as:

• Examinations
• Restorative care (such as dental fillings)
• Prophylaxis (dental cleaning)
• Fluoride treatment and sealants
• Referrals

Depending on where a patient lives, additional care is provided by the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, Mount Sinai Medical Center or St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx.

Children's Aid, in partnership with the Orthodontic Program at St. Barnabas Hospital, in November 2006, added a school-based Orthodontic Clinic to its roster of dental services.
