King County is offering free dental services for Medicaid-enrolled children through its Access to Baby and Child Dentistry program, which focuses on early preventive and restorative care.

The program encourages families to follow the Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s guideline of “First Tooth, First Birthday, First Dental Exam,” ensuring children see a dentist or doctor early to prevent decay and establish good oral health habits.

Participating dentists are trained and certified to work with young children and to educate parents about proper care.

Free clinics will be held at the Skyway Resource Center, 12610 76th Ave S., Seattle, WA 98178, on the following Saturdays:

  • Aug. 23, 2025, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Sept. 6, 2025, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Oct. 4, 2025, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Dec. 6, 2025, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
