2 mito Jamaica Plain, the nearest listed city

This page lists one reviewed dental clinic in Dorchester Center, MA. It is operated by Codman Square Health Center.

The nearest other Massachusetts cities with listings are Jamaica Plain at about 2 miles (1 clinic), Mattapan at about 2 miles (1 clinic), Dorchester at about 2 miles (6 clinics), Roxbury at about 2 miles (2 clinics) and Quincy at about 3 miles (1 clinic). Straight-line from the city center, so road distance will be longer. Even so, the nearby lists are worth working through, because waits vary more than distance does.

This Dorchester Center clinic has a website recorded, linked from its listing. Be aware that a health center's site usually describes the organization rather than the individual address, and dental care is frequently offered at only some sites — so the website is a starting point rather than confirmation.

Before you travel across Dorchester Center, settle the things these listings cannot: what to ask on the phone, how the sliding fee discount is applied for, and which door to use when it is urgent and money is short. If you think what you have might be an emergency, go to an emergency room rather than onto a dental waiting list; the price of that visit is not the thing to weigh in that moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is the only clinic listed here. What if it cannot take me?

One listing means one waiting list, so plan for that. The nearby cities below are the next places to look, and dental school and hygiene teaching clinics in the state are a separate route that keeps its own lists.

Will the number listed reach the dental department?

Often it reaches central scheduling instead, especially at larger organizations. Name the clinic and say the appointment is dental, or you can be booked into the medical queue.

What do I need to bring to apply for the discount?

Usually photo identification, proof of address and evidence of household income — pay stubs, a benefits letter or a tax return. Clinics have a procedure for applicants with no income to document, so ask rather than staying away.
