About
Report
Founded in 1932, the Children's Dental Health Clinic is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides quality dental care and oral health education to disadvantaged children and young adults, ages 0-21, serving the greater Long Beach and South Bay communities. We are the safety-net resource and dental home for all-inclusive, multi-specialty dental services that can meet all of a child's treatment needs "under one roof."
History
Report
During the dire economic times of the 1930s, a dental surveyor with Long Beach Schools, Dr. Robert Anderson, reported an increasing prevalence of dental disease in our community's school children. He was moved to provide accessible dental care to needy children; and in 1932, this dream became a reality when Dr. Anderson secured a trailer, converted it into a small dental clinic, and made his way from school to school.

The Children's Dental Health Clinic is a multi-specialty, all inclusive, safety-net dental home to more than 6,500 children and young adults, from birth through age 21. We are uniquely able to serve those with special needs and complex medical considerations because of our partnerships, specialties, integrated hospital-based care, and because of the supporters who make our services possible for children who do not have access to the dental care they need.
