Dental Clinic

The Dental Programs at Arkansas Children’s provides care for patients with limited access to traditional dental care due to age, medical, or economic liabilities. Our program is divided into two distinct programs.

  • The first is a hospital-based program that provides complex dental and craniofacial care for patients with medical, developmental, or structural anomalies within a multidisciplinary team that includes both dental and medical professionals.
  • Our second program is a school-based model that provides care for children through a school clinic, mobile dental clinics, and a traveling sealant program.

Care Provided

  • Arkansas Children’s Dental Outreach operates a fleet of four mobile dental clinics and provides comprehensive dental care to children regardless of the family’s ability to pay; the Dental Outreach program currently serves elementary schools in central, northwest, southeast and southwest Arkansas
  • Northwest and Central Arkansas regions are part of the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® program.
  • Dental Outreach appointments are coordinated with the child's elementary school nurse or school contact.
