Kids In Distress of Broward and Palm Beach counties (KID) and Nova Southeastern University (NSU) have opened the Kid Dental Clinic and NSU’s Eye Care Institute at KID. The clinics are located on the Kids In Distress campus in Wilton Manors.

The state-of-the art clinics will offer comprehensive dental and eye care services to more than 5,000 underserved children and families in South Florida annually. The 12 chair dental facility is equipped with 10 child-friendly exam stations and two private rooms for check-ups and diagnostics; preventive and restorative care; and digital radiography. The technology supports paperless chair-side recording, ensuring accurate care and follow-up information. The eye care clinic offers eight fully equipped optometry exam rooms, optical laboratory and an optical dispensary where kids can choose from a variety of customizable, fun frames.

 

Kid Dental Clinic and The Eye Care Institute at Kid are staffed with third and fourth year dental and optometry students and residents at Nova Southeastern University and supervised by faculty members. They provide children six months to 18 years of age and their families preventative and comprehensive dental and eye care.
