Community Health Care - Puyallup Family Dental Clinic

community health care - Puyallup Family Dental Clinic is a branch of Community Health Care, a private, non-profit organization established in 1987. Their mission is to "provide the highest quality healthcare with compassionate and accessible service for all." Located at 201 W Main Suite 100, Puyallup, WA 98371, this clinic is dedicated to serving the dental needs of the Puyallup community, including those who are low-income, uninsured, or underinsured. The clinic offers a wide range of general dentistry services for both children and adults. These services typically include preventive care such as cleanings, sealants (especially for school-age children), and comprehensive exams. They also provide restorative treatments like fillings, composites, extractions, and emergency dental care. The clinic emphasizes early screening for children and has dentists who are Access to Baby and Child Dentistry (ABCD) certified, meaning they are well-trained in providing care for very young children and expectant mothers. Community Health Care prides itself on making healthcare accessible, ensuring that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. They often operate on a sliding fee scale based on income and family size. The Puyallup dental clinic is part of a larger initiative to expand services in the area, with plans to bring much-needed medical, dental, pharmacy, and behavioral health services to downtown Puyallup, aiming to care for as many as 16,000 patients annually. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with a lunch closure from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, and is closed on weekends and major holidays.
