Abstrakt: ABSTRACTThe financing of dental services in community health centers, CHCs, is a mystery to most dentists in private practice, and this lack of knowledge has resulted in misconceptions that hamper mutual support. This review seeks to explain and demystify how CHC dental clinics remain financially viable. The mechanisms of financing dental care in CHCs are described including types of revenues received, financing constraints unique to CHCs and how services to indigent patients are funded.
