Dental care can be scary for kids. But Codman Square Health Center is making it less so. With a new Pedi Dental suite right in the Pediatric and Adolescent Department, dental care has become a warmer and kid-friendlier experience with easier access through same-day appointments.

Offered now throughout the week, young patients can walk down the hall to the new Pedi Dental suite for same-day access.

The health center anticipates the addition of this increased access will result in 500 new patients getting dental care, through 2,000 additional visits a year.

“This new access is transforming the way we can deliver dental care to our pediatric patients. It makes it easier for our patients, the kids enjoy the new room, and our staff are excited to be right there alongside the Pediatrics Team,” Elizabeth Powell, DDS, MPH, Director of Dental Care at Codman Square Health Center.
