Welcome to Lindquist Dental Clinic for Children
09/12/2008 - By Rick Gillmore Lindquist Dental Clinic for Children takes TRICARE insurance. We serve qualifying military families and they don't pay any out of pocket expenses! Call us at 253-539-7445 to make an appointment for your children.
LDCC provides direct dental services to all children 0 –18 years. Including exams, preventative care, cleanings, regular X-rays, panographic X-rays, fillings, extractions, sealants, fluoride varnish, conscious sedation, root canals, limited crown and bridge, and limited orthodontics (space maintainers etc.). All services are provided by Washington State licensed dentists.
Our services are very accessible as we are located on a major bus line, are ADA accessible, and serve patients from throughout Pierce County.
We attempt to do as many fillings at one appointment as possible to minimize the number of times a child must miss school and to help parents plan transportation. While efficiency is important, we also realize that we are treating impressionable children, many of whom have never had dental treatment before.
We also provide assistance to those families who are unsure of whether they might qualify for medical coupons with assistance in completing the application for state supported medical and dental insurance programs.
We are a dedicated, private non-profit clinic for children, which has been in existence since 1936. Determined to provide high quality dental care, we strive to fulfill our mission, “to provide accessible, compassionate and effective dental care to Pierce County children in need”.
Named after a community minded banker, Mr. Lindquist never knew his name would epitomize his passion of caring for his community into the next century. Since it’s inception in 1936, LDCC (formerly known as the Carl E. Lindquist School Clinic) had always been affiliated with several school programs. Specifically designed to serve the underprivileged children in Pierce County, the clinic had to this point always been a mobile facility. Until in 1998 when LDCC moved to its own small five chair clinic on Garfield Street, near Pacific Lutheran University. In 2002, LDCC officially changed the name to make clear our goal of serving the children of our community. Over the years the need for our services outgrew our facility. In 2005, thanks to many dedicated donors, we were able to relocate to a larger 10 chair clinic that has allowed us to expand the depth and breadth of our dental services.
LDCC is now a comprehensive clinic that specializes in treating not only the over 100,000 of Pierce County’s uninsured or state assisted children, but all children with or without insurance, even those military dependents who are on TriCare! At LDCC, no child is turned away due to the inability to pay!!
