The South Dakota Department of Health (SD DOH) does not have a dental clinic in Walworth County. However, SD DOH does have a number of resources to help people in Walworth County find affordable dental care.

One resource is the SD DOH’s Oral Health Resources website. This website lists all of the federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in South Dakota that provide dental services. FQHCs are community-based health care providers that offer affordable, high-quality care to everyone, regardless of income or insurance status.

Another resource is the SD DOH’s Dental Providers website. This website lists all of the dentists in South Dakota who are accepting new patients. The website also includes information about each dentist’s practice, such as their hours of operation, what languages they speak, and whether they accept Medicaid or Medicare.

Finally, SD DOH also has a program called the Dental Access Program (DAP). DAP provides financial assistance to low-income South Dakotans who need dental care. To qualify for DAP, you must have a household income that is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.

If you are looking for dental care in Walworth County, I recommend that you start by checking the SD DOH’s Oral Health Resources website. You can also call the SD DOH’s Oral Health Program at (605) 773-3361 for more information or assistance.
