About community dental care in Homestead

If you're searching for an affordable children's dentist in Homestead, the clinics below are your best starting point. They are all federally-funded health centers, which means they're legally required to serve every patient regardless of ability to pay and to offer a sliding-fee scale tied to household income. For families enrolled in Florida Medicaid (Statewide Medicaid Managed Care) or Florida KidCare (MediKids/CMS), all medically-necessary pediatric dental care is covered at no cost.

When you call, ask for the dental department and tell them your child's age and what kind of visit you need (first visit, routine cleaning, urgent toothache, etc.). Most Homestead community health centers can offer a same-week pediatric appointment, and several run dedicated kids' dental clinics or school-based programs.

Bring your insurance card (Medicaid, CHIP, or private), a photo ID for the parent or guardian, and any of the child's recent dental records if you have them. If you don't have insurance, bring a recent pay stub or tax return so the clinic can calculate your sliding-fee discount on the spot. Most families pay between $25 and $80 for a complete pediatric exam, x-rays, cleaning, and fluoride treatment.
