OHSU School of Dentistry strives to provide the highest quality dental care for children. 
In the Pediatric Dental Clinic, children are
 treated by dental students under the
 supervision of faculty instructors. 
Patients are assigned to a student during one of the following clinic sessions:

Fees for procedures done in the Dental Clinic are about one half to two thirds of what they would be in private practice. All fees are expected to be paid at the time of treatment.

Who is eligible for care?

In general, children who are between the ages of four and twelve are eligible for care in the Pediatric Dental Clinic. Children must be cooperative and not have any major medical conditions. If you don't know how your child will accept treatment, make an appointment and we will determine if care is feasible. Children who come to our clinic and cannot be treated by one of our students will either be referred to a pediatric dentist on the faculty or one in the community. Children who require care from other specialties (e.g. orthodontics, oral surgery) will also be referred. Starting July 2005, pediatric dentistry residency program will provide patient services and take over referrals.

What can you expect in the clinic?

Children accepted for care will be assigned to one dental student. The student will contact you to arrange an appointment for your child during one of the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic sessions. Appointments will generally last one and a half to three hours. Faculty instructors supervise all treatments provided by the students.

If you wish to register your child for treatment at the Pediatric Dental Clinic, please call our Patient Reception Center at 503-494-8867.
