Adolescent Dental Clinic
The CU Adolescent Dental Clinic has a dental program specifically for children/teenagers from 12 years old to 18 years old aimed at preventing and managing oral disease. As part of the CU School of Dental Medicine, patients receive high quality, compassionate care with fees up to 50 percent less than a typical private dental office.
Adolescent patients in this program will:
- Receive regular, preventive care, including check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments;
- Receive dental treatments include fillings, root canals, gum disease treatment, 3rd molar extractions (wisdom teeth) and more;
- Learn how to prevent cavities and care for their teeth;
- Learn about healthy eating habits; and
- Understand the risks of behavior on their oral health.
To become a patient, please schedule an appointment for a comprehensive evaluation which includes x-rays and a cleaning.
After a treatment plan has been determined, patients can schedule follow-up appointments.
