Suggested Citation: Maryland Department of Health, Office of Oral Health. Maryland Oral Health Resource Guide 2017 Edition. Baltimore, Maryland, 2017.

The Maryland Oral Health Resource Guide is produced by the Maryland Department of Health, Office of Oral Health to assist children, adults, patients with special health care needs and their caregivers and advocates with finding affordable public health dental care services in Maryland and in the immediate surrounding regions.

Only those dental public health programs or facilities which provide discounted, low-cost, and/or special needs dental services (e.g., those with HIV) are listed in this directory. There is no intent to advertise, endorse, or promote any particular dental provider, program, or service. Information about other resources including the Maryland Healthy Smiles Program (the Maryland Medicaid/Medical Assistance dental program) and programs in nearby Delaware and the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.) also is listed.

The services listed in this guide are organized by county. Maryland residents in all jurisdictions are fortunate to have access to dental public health services whether they are physically available within the county or through standing arrangements or policies whereby programs will treat patients from outside their respective city, county or regional limits. It is important to review the eligibility requirements and clinical services provided for each program before scheduling an appointment. For example, if a program lists a sliding fee scale payment option, ask what personal information is needed in order to receive the reduced fees.

Our intent is to update this dental resource guide periodically since programs, contact information, services and eligibility requirements can change rapidly. While every attempt has been made to update and ensure the accuracy of this information, we cannot be responsible for all details contained in this publication. Since the listed programs often use different terms to describe services, eligibility, insurance coverage and other topics, please refer to an expanded Definitions section beginning on page 51.

We trust that the Maryland Oral Health Resource Guide will be of assistance in finding the appropriate dental care that you, your family, or client needs.

Fluoride and Water Testing Laboratories

Q. What is fluoride?

A. Fluoride is a natural element found in rocks and soil, in fresh water, and in ocean wa-ter. Waters in and around the United States have natural fluoride levels that range from 0.1 to more than 12 parts per million (ppm). One ppm is like one cent in $10,000.00. The optimal fluoride level for a community water system is 0.7ppm.

Q. What are the benefits of fluoridated water?

A. Fluoridated water:• Prevents tooth decay.• Strengthens tooth enamel.• Kills germs that cause tooth decay.• Is a cost effective means of improving

community health.More than 50 years of evidence supports the effectiveness of fluoridated water and its ability to prevent, reduce, or even reverse the onset and development of tooth decay. Through continuous research, drinking optimally fluoridated water has been scientifically proven to be safe, not toxic, and effective.

As of 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported approximately 204 million (73.9%) Americans drink fluoridated water. CDC also reported that Maryland ranked 1st in the country for residents on community water systems with access to fluoridated water (99%).

The table on the following pages lists independent

laboratories that are approved to test fluoride levels by the Maryland

Department of the Environment and accept water samples from the

general public.

The addition of supplemental fluoride to drinking water can be compared to the addition of supplemental Vitamin D to milk. • Both fluoride and vitamin D

occur naturally and provide significant health benefits when present in a person’s diet at sufficient levels.

• Sufficient levels of Vitamin D in a person’s diet can prevent rickets in children and bone disease in adults. Sufficient levels of fluoride in a person’s drinking water can reduce tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel.

A. Many cities and towns in Maryland add fluoride to their community water systems as a cost efficient and effective way to help reduce tooth decay. If you do not know the concentration of fluoride in your community water supply or drink well water, it is important to contact your local health department and/or have it tested, before taking any fluoride supplements. Consult your medical or dental provider before making any decisions.

Q. Should I have the water tested to determine the fluoride level?
