About This Clinic
Kids In Need of Dentistry (KIND) is a nonprofit organization that provides high-quality, affordable dental care to children in need throughout Colorado. Since 1912, KIND has helped thousands of children each year get the dental services they need at a cost their families can afford.
KIDS in Need of Dentistry serves children at three facilities in the Denver area and one facility in Colorado Springs. As the need for dental care reaches statewide, KIND reaches out to children in rural and underserved urban communities across Colorado through it's mobile dental unit, Miles for Smiles. Also, the Chopper Topper program travels to Denver area elementary schools to provide dental screenings and preventive molar sealants. Partnering with a variety of organizations allows KIND serve a diverse community, while honoring it's goal to provide community outreach.

Mission Statement
KIDS In Need of Dentistry (KIND) provides high quality, comprehensive dental care and education to kids in need throughout Colorado.
KIND asks qualifying families to pay $20 per appointment, plus a percentage of the total value of services provided. Example: For a treatment valued at $150, a family would be asked to pay the $20 appointment fee, plus $30 to $45 for their share of the services, depending on income. No child is ever turned away based on their family's inability to pay.
