Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book an appointment at Kennedy Dental Care?

You can book online at any of our four locations using the buttons above, or call our main number during office hours. Online booking is available 24 hours a day. For same-day or emergency appointments, calling directly will get you the fastest response.

Does Kennedy Dental Care accept Medicaid and CHIP?

Yes. All four Kennedy Dental Care locations accept Medicaid and CHIP for children and teens. We also accept most major PPO dental insurance plans. If you are unsure whether your plan is accepted, our team can verify your coverage before your visit.

Does Kennedy Dental Care offer sedation for children who are anxious about dental visits?

Yes. We offer multiple sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia for procedures that require it. Our team will discuss the best option for your child based on their age, health history, and the treatment needed.

Are Spanish-speaking staff available?

Yes. Spanish-speaking staff members are available at our Corpus Christi locations to assist families who prefer to communicate in Spanish.

What should I expect at my child's first visit?

A first visit at Kennedy Dental Care typically includes a gentle exam, X-rays if age-appropriate, a cleaning, and a conversation with the dentist about your child's development and home care routine. We recommend scheduling a first visit by your child's first birthday or when their first tooth appears. The visit usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes.

How often should children visit the dentist?

We recommend check-ups every six months to monitor development, prevent cavities, and keep their smiles healthy.

Do you offer appointments for children with special needs?

Yes. Kennedy Dental Care has extensive experience treating children with autism, sensory sensitivities, developmental differences, and other special needs. Our team is trained to create a calm, accommodating experience for every patient.

Do baby teeth really matter? Aren’t they going to fall out anyway?

Yes, baby teeth are crucial for speech development, proper chewing, and guiding adult teeth into the right position. Healthy baby teeth contribute to a healthy, well-aligned adult smile.

What insurance plans does Kennedy Dental Care accept?

We accept most major dental insurance plans including Delta Dental, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, and Humana. We also accept Medicaid and CHIP, and offer an affordable in-house membership plan for families without insurance, starting at $377 per year for children 12 and under.
