Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Multi-Specialty, Comprehensive Dental Treatment and Oral Health Education
Our dental care services include diagnoses aided by x-ray, fluoride treatment, restoration of teeth (root canals and fillings), preventive dentistry and oral hygiene education. In addition, our patients are offered an array of specialized treatment including periodontia, orthodontia, endodontia, oral surgery and oral or I.V. Sedation in the Special Care area. We also offer treatment under general anesthesia in the hospital's operating rooms, where our dentists have privileges. In addition, through our Oral Health Education Center, we attend community health fairs, and work in partnership with schools to provide free dental screenings, education and toothbrushes. Within our multi-specialty clinics, we anticipate serving 6,500 underprivileged patients through 15,000 visits each year.
Early Intervention Program
This program, based at our Main Clinic in Long Beach, is a great way to prevent cavities for children through early intervention!
Working with children ages 0-5, the Early Intervention team, comprised of a Registered Dental Hygienist and a Patient Navigator, meets with each patient and their parent(s) or caregiver(s) an in-depth 30-minute session at either 1-month, 3-month, or 6-month intervals.
Orthodontics
Our Main Clinic offers comprehensive Orthodontic treatment (braces). We treat routine to complex cases, including those with cranio-facial/cleft palate development challenges. Due to severe disease and complex medical conditions, many children may face early loss of teeth requiring integrated orthodontial assistance prior to the average age for braces.
Multi-Specialty Dental Treatment
The Children's Dental Health Clinic is the only non-profit, hospital-based clinic in Greater Long Beach that provides Multi-Specialty Dental Treatment for underprivileged children and young adults, ages 0-21, and to those who have issues with access to care.
With our state-of-the-art facility and multi-specialty expertise, we are able to provide comprehensive dental care all under "one-roof." With the ability to treat complex cases under IV Sedation, or General Anesthesia in the Hospital Operating Room of the Miller Children’s Hospital at Long Beach Memorial, we serve special needs and medically compromised patients, such as children with Autism, Asthma, Cancer, Cerebral Palsy, Cleft Lip/Palate, Down Syndrome, and Sickle Cell Anemia.
