The Children’s Dental Health Clinic (CDHC) is a non-profit pediatric dental clinic with a nearly 100-year history of providing specialized oral health care services, support and training. We are the safety-net oral health care provider for low-income children and young adults ages 0-21 from greater Long Beach and southern Los Angeles County. We also support the unique needs of children who are disabled or medically-compromised, and we are an accredited training facility for multiple dental specialties. We serve approximately 5,500 patients and families each year in two locations – Long Beach and Catalina Island* – as well as through early intervention, education and outreach efforts in the local community.
*We treat patients on select days throughout the year at our school-based, satellite clinic in Avalon on Catalina Island.
