What to Expect

A parent or legal guardian must be present at the appointment for dental treatment to be performed. The initial visit will consist of an examination, possible cleaning and/or x-rays. A student or resident will discuss treatment options with you, and you are encouraged to ask any questions regarding your child's dental health and planned care. Your child will be assigned to the most appropriate provider and clinic for treatment.

Referral

  • Please have your dentist or other health care provider fill out the online Pediatric referral form, and then contact us to schedule your child's first visit.
  • Our clinic provides care at the pediatric clinic in the dental school with and without nitrous oxide analgesia/anxiolysis, with oral sedation, and at the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital under general anesthesia. The first visit will be an evaluation to determine in which of our clinics will best serve the patient
  • Complex and high need treatment referrals will have a longer waiting time due to demand.

Dental Emergency

If the emergency is during clinic hours, call 734-764-1523.

If your child is a patient of record (previously seen in our clinic for routine care), we will schedule an appointment within a reasonable amount of time. Although the Children’s Clinic will make every attempt to see all emergency patients, it is not the clinics' responsibility to treat emergencies for children not of record in our clinic.

If the emergency is after-hours or weekends, call 734-817-2134. (Current patients only)

Fees and Payment Options

We accept most major dental insurances, including Healthy Kids Dental and Michigan Medicaid.
