KIND offers an affordable option for low-income families seeking professional, high-quality dental care for their children. Through our staff and network of volunteer dental professionals, KIND provides Colorado's children with the dental services they need, including:
* Comprehensive oral exams
* Cleanings and dental sealants
* Restorative treatments like fillings
* Emergency care
* Specialty services"orthodontics, pedodontics, endodontics and oral surgery
Families who qualify can be confident their children will receive professional dental care customized for their individual needs. And, we make sure every child's experience with KIND is a positive one.
KIND asks qualifying families to pay $20 per appointment, plus a percentage of the total value of services provided. Example:For a treatment valued at $150, a family would be asked to pay the $20 appointment fee, plus $30 to $45 for their share of the services, depending on income. No child is ever turned away based on their family's inability to pay.

Many communities have clinics that charge little or nothing for dental care. They are usually run by nonprofits, community health centers, dental schools and local health departments, and they often rely on grants, donations and public funding. Some serve everyone on a sliding fee scale, while others focus on children, seniors or people without insurance. Every clinic sets its own rules, so call ahead and ask what you qualify for.
