The Baltimore City Health Department provides basic and urgent dental care at the Druid Dental Clinic and Eastern Dental Clinic. There are fees associated with the care, and the clinics accept Maryland Health Smiles, most Medical/Medical Assistance plans, and a few other plans which are subject to change.
