Children in Need of Treatment Program

This program provides services and treatment to children whose parents or caregivers have no dental insurance coverage and cannot afford the cost of urgent dental care. It is to ensure that no child goes without essential dental care as a result of an inability to pay for dental services.

The program provides dental care for children and teens age 17 and under.

To be eligible, youth must be:

  • Age 17 or younger
  • Screened by a Registered Dental Hygienist from Public Health
  • Without dental insurance and declare the cost of treatment would create a financial hardship.
