Indian Health Service dental clinics provide general dentistry services to eligible tribal members and federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native individuals.

The scope of services available at a specific IHS facility can vary by site and staffing.

Patients seeking care at an IHS facility are generally required to demonstrate eligibility based on tribal membership or descent from a federally recognized tribe. Eligibility requirements and the range of covered services may vary; patients are advised to contact the clinic directly to confirm eligibility criteria, required documentation, and the range of dental procedures available on-site before scheduling an appointment.
