At the Tufts Pediatric Dentistry Clinic our teams of specialists provide affordable, comprehensive dental care focused on the unique needs of children from 6 months to 18 years old.

Appointments

Parents looking for dental services for their children should call 617-636-6971. The initial visit is a comprehensive initial evaluation with an associated fee. This fee can vary depending on your child's needs (if you have recent, usable X-rays, the fee will be less). We currently accept the following insurance: Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna and MassHealth. Please call 617-636-6971 to verify your insurance.

Infants and Babies

To prevent future dental problems of all kinds, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, and American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that a baby’s first oral exam should be no later than his/her first birthday (6 to 12 months old).
