About Us
The Waukesha County Community Dental Clinic (WCCDC) opened in May 2008 to provide access to low cost dental care for disadvantaged Waukesha County residents.
The WCCDC is a non profit 501(c) six-chair clinic which operates full-time, Monday through Friday providing dental care to low income individuals who live in Waukesha County. The clinic is staffed by both full time and volunteer professionals. Dental care is not free, but fees do not exceed $20 per visit. Families in need are identified by showing income falling below 200% of the U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines.
The WCCDC is creating a healthier life and a brighter future for families who live and work in our community. We also educate low-income families in our community on proper dental hygiene so they can maintain oral health throughout their lifetime. Our services are in much demand. The average waiting period for an appointment at the WCCDC might be up to 2 months. As part of each visit to the clinic, the staff at Waukesha County Community Dental Clinic assesses our patients' oral hygiene compliance. Parents are invited into the examination room to see for themselves how their child is doing and to review home care instructions. Since dental cavities are a fully preventable childhood disease, motivating parents to help their children maintain their healthy smiles is part of every visit.
