Description of Services:
Preventive and restorative dental care services at a central location and 6 community health centers (see listings under Dental Services). The program provides examinations, cleanings, fillings, dentures and, in selective cases, partial dentures. The Dental Center is open Monday-Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm. The community health centers (Aldine, People’s, Strawberry, Gulfgate, Acres Home and Settegast) that provide dental services are open according to each center’s regular schedule. To ensure appointments go smoothly, be sure to bring your appointment slip, current Gold Card and all medications with you and arrive thirty minutes early. Children less than 16 years of age are referred to the city’s dental clinic. If you’ve never been treated through the HCHD dental program, and you need an emergency appointment, go to your local HCHD Community Health Center. Your primary care physician can provide you with the necessary antibiotics and pain medications to help you until your dental visit. Your doctor will then refer you for a follow-up emergency appointment with the downtown Dental Center. If your Community Health Center is closed, go the emergency room at either Ben Taub General Hospital or Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital
