CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY CARE CENTER, INC
STUART, FLORIDA

The Christian Community Care Center was established in 2006 to provide free emergency dental care to underserved and needy people, with sensitivity and compassion. In addition to alleviating dental pain and infection, we provide complete dental care (cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, dentures) at a reduced cost. Patients with Medicaid are accepted, and biblical counseling and encouragement to those who desire it. How Did Christian Community Care Center Come About? In 2006, a small group of concerned Christians came together to establish the center. Through the generosity of Tropical Farms Baptist Church and El Camino Baptist Church, the space and utilities were provided. A retiring dentist in Ft. Lauderdale donated all of his equipment, and with the remodeling of some of the space in the church building by Mosley Construction, the facility was born. The news of the clinic and its need for volunteers spread throughout the community, and soon volunteers of dentists and lay people were providing weekly care for those in need. Presently, we are seeing over 800 patients a year. When the center opened, not many people knew about us. But it did not take long for word to get out into the community, and now we see about 20 patients every Friday morning for removal of infected, non-restorable teeth. Since we are limited in the number of patients that we are able to see on a Friday morning, and since we do not give appointments but rather see people on a “first-come/first-serve” basis, some patients have come as early as 2:30 AM in order to be sure they will see the dentist that day and receive treatment for their painful dental condition. In response to the tremendous need to provide more than extractions and limited fillings, we now offer complete dental care by appointment for those patients needing and wanting dental care that includes cleaning of teeth, fluoride for children, periodontal treatment (deep scaling), fillings, root canals, crowns, partial and full dentures. All these services are available at a reduced charge and are only available to low income or Medicaid patients. Christian Community Care Center is blessed with an amazing group of volunteers and limited staff, both professionals and lay people, all dedicated to providing the best of care possible, and all without regard for financial remuneration. The need is great, and the center is one of the very few places where those truly in financial need can receive help. We always welcome help.
