Will they take me?

Open to the public, adults and children. Adults have a screening visit first to see if they can be matched with a student. Patients under 18 skip the screening. Students do the work and licensed hygienists and dentists check every step. Patients are chosen for what students need to learn.

• Adults 18 and over have a screening visit to see if they can be assigned to a student
• Bring your completed new patient forms (health history, policies, clinic forms)
• Bring a list of all your medicines and doses
• You must agree to X-rays, or bring recent X-rays from your dentist
• You may need a note from your doctor before treatment
• Children under 18 must be with a parent or guardian in the waiting room
• Children under 3 may be sent to a children's dentist
• Confirm your appointment ahead of time or it may go to someone else
• Give 48 hours' notice to change or cancel
• Patients who are often late, leave early or miss visits get cancellation-only appointments

How to get in

Call 214-860-2301 or email DHClinicAppointment@DallasCollege.edu to ask for an appointment. Fill in the new patient forms before your first visit.
