The Dental Clinic at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland has been operating under La Clínica’s management since 2003 and currently serves 5,778 patients per year. The program specializes in serving pediatric patients with special health care needs. Dental decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease - five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever. Low-income children in the service area are at higher risk for dental decay due to underutilization of preventive dental services and infrequent dental visits. As such, La Clínica’s effort to serve as patients’ dental home by providing comprehensive, one-stop services is of critical importance.
