Dental Clinic
Children's Mercy provides comprehensive preventative and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children, including those who can't receive services elsewhere due to insurance, special health care needs and those covered by Medicaid.
Our dental staff includes pediatric dental specialists who work closely with primary care providers, especially when children have complex special health care needs or congenital problems. Our team uses equipment sized for kids.
A pediatric dentist is available 24 hours a day through the Children's Mercy emergency departments.
Referrals are not needed for dental treatment.
