First Visit - To make you first visit with us go as smoothly as possible these are some of things we will need.

A parent or legal guardian must be present at any appointment for children under 18. Please plan to bring the following:

  • Legal papers for temporary or permanent guardianship
  • The patient's Certificate of Indian Blood (CIB) or the parent's CIB if the child is under 18 and the child's CIB is not available at the first appointment
  • Social Security Card
  • Picture ID

  • List of current medications including over-the-counter
  • Medical History Form (Please print, SHOULD NOT be signed until witnessed by the staff upon check in)

Braces:

The Albuquerque Area Braces Program is located at the Albuquerque IHS Dental Clinic. We accept referrals from Albuquerque Area IHS, Tribal and Urban dental programs. Your local dental clinic will help you get the required referral to be seen at our program. Call your local dental clinic to find out how your child can get braces at our clinic.

Your child must be 14 years or younger at the time for the referral to be considered for braces. Once you have been referred to our program, we will tell you the steps needed to be in the program.

Braces can help build your child's self esteem by straightening teeth and aligning the jaw for dental health and a beautiful smile.

We are proud to be accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), a private, non-profit organization established as the leader in developing standards to advance and promote patient safety, quality care, and value for ambulatory health care through peer based accreditation processes, education, and research. A certificate of accreditation is awarded to organizations that are found to be in compliance with AAAHC Standards.
