Where this file and the agent disagree, the agent is current. ## About BMS Family Dental Center BMS Family Dental Center is one program of Baltimore Medical System, and the following is published about the parent organization rather than about the dental center specifically. The Who We Are page describes Baltimore Medical System as "The largest Federally Qualified Health Center in Maryland" and says it "serves nearly 90,000 patients in Greater Baltimore, primarily in low-income, underserved areas." It describes the organization as "a community-based, independent non-profit" whose patients have "access to an entire team of healthcare providers, mental health counselors and Health Benefits Advisors." Its stated mission: "We are deeply committed to improving health, wellness and the quality of life in the communities we serve by providing safe, high quality, accessible and affordable healthcare." On its federal status the page states: "Baltimore Medical System is a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b, and a deemed Public Health Service employee under 42 U.S.C. 233(g)-(n). We are an FTCA deemed facility." Every page of the site repeats that Baltimore Medical System "receives HHS funding and has Federal PHS deemed status with respect to certain health or health-related claims, including medical malpractice claims, for itself and its covered individuals." Beyond dental, the organization runs health centers at several Baltimore locations, including Yard 56, Belair-Edison, East Baltimore Medical Center, Highlandtown, Rosedale and Saint Agnes, plus pharmacies and school-based health centers. Those are separate from the dental center and have their own addresses and phone numbers. Not published: the names or credentials of the dental staff, the year the dental program opened, any dental licence or accreditation numbers, patient reviews or ratings for the dental center. To contact the dental center, call 443-703-3600.

The dental services page lists four service categories: "Exams and Cleanings" ("Routine visits to keep your teeth healthy"), "X-Rays and Evaluation" ("Understand your dental needs with precision"), "Fillings" ("Restore function and comfort"), and "Children's Care" ("Helping kids build healthy habits early"). The page describes the program as dental care "for children and adults with a focus on prevention and treatment. From cleanings to restorative care, we're here to protect your smile and your health." It also states that "Oral health impacts your whole body. Regular visits help prevent pain, infection, and long-term issues." The page gives one instruction for getting care: "Call (443) 703-3600". What the website does not publish about these dental services: no price, prices or pricing of any kind, no cost, rates, fees, estimate or quote for a cleaning, x-ray, filling or any other treatment; no online booking form for dental; no named dentists, hygienists or credentials; and no statement on this page about insurance, Medicaid or payment. The page also does not mention emergency or same-day dental care, extractions, root canals, crowns, dentures, implants, orthodontics or cosmetic dentistry, so a caller should not assume those services are offered. Anyone who needs a price, an estimate, or confirmation that a specific procedure is available should phone 443-703-3600 and ask the dental office directly. Note that the wider bmsi.org site covers many other Baltimore Medical System programs and centers; the services above are the ones published for the dental program.

The phone number listed for this location is 443-703-3600. The Our Centers page publishes these hours for BMS Family Dental Center: Monday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Tuesday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Wednesday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Thursday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Friday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Saturday Closed, Sunday Closed. So the dental center is open weekdays only and is not open on weekends. The dental services page adds a second address detail in the same building: under the heading "Yard 56 Health Center" it says "Dental services are available exclusively at this location", gives the address as "5525 Eastern Ave, Suite 201, Baltimore, MD 21224" and the hours as "Monday - Friday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM". The site publishes both suite numbers, 201 and 202, at 5525 Eastern Ave and does not explain the difference, so a caller who needs the exact suite to check in at should confirm on the phone. A separate address, 5525 Eastern Ave, Ste. 301, Baltimore, MD 21224, phone (410) 732-8800, is the administrative office of Baltimore Medical System, the parent organization, and is not the dental clinic. Not published: the areas served or service area beyond the Baltimore address above, parking or transit directions, wheelchair access, whether walk-ins are seen, and any evening or Saturday dental hours. For directions the page offers "Get Directions" and "Open in Maps" links; to contact the dental center about its location, hours or an appointment, call 443-703-3600. Lists Baltimore, Frederick, Philadelphia, Denton, Paterson, and Rosedale as a location. Names Eastern and Maryland as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

There is no fee schedule, no price list for cleanings, x-rays or fillings, no online estimate tool, and no statement on the dental pages about which insurance plans are accepted. Anyone asking what a visit costs, or wanting an estimate or a quote, must call the office at 443-703-3600; the answer cannot be given from the website. Baltimore Medical System, the parent non-profit, publishes a separate organization-wide "Paying for Services" page. That page is written for the organization as a whole and does not say whether it applies to dental care at BMS Family Dental Center. It states verbatim: "At Baltimore Medical System, we believe cost should never be a barrier to care. We will work with you to determine your eligibility for insurance coverage and to provide reduced rates based on your household income. Our team is here to help you access the care you need. A Sliding fee discount is available when necessary. Our Health Benefit Advisors can assist with that eligibility." It adds, about insurance generally: "Our counselors can help you understand what is available and help you sign up for Medicaid. We will do this for anyone - not just our patients." No discount amounts, income thresholds, or eligibility rules are published, and no list of accepted plans appears anywhere on the site. The same parent-level page says "Our Health Benefits Advisors are available Monday through Friday and only by appointment on Saturdays" and lists advisor contacts at other Baltimore Medical System centers, not at the dental center: Belair-Edison, 3120 Erdman Avenue, (410) 558-4800; Rosedale, 9520 Philadelphia Road, (410) 558-4700; Highlandtown, 3700 Fleet Street, (410) 558-4900; Saint Agnes, 900 S. Caton Avenue, (443) 703-3200.

The dental services page instructs "Call (443) 703-3600", and the BMS Family Dental Center page states "Call 443-703-3600 to schedule an appointment." That same number, 443-703-3600, is shown site-wide as "Appointments: 443-703-3600". No online booking form or self-schedule tool for dental is published; a Patient Portal link exists on the site but the site does not say that dental appointments can be booked through it. Because the dental center's published hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, that is when the office is open to take a booking call. The following is published by Baltimore Medical System at the organization level and covers its centers generally rather than the dental program specifically: "To request an appointment, please call: 443-703-3600. To request an appointment at East Baltimore Medical Center, please call: 410-522-9800." The same organization-wide page says "If you need to access care after hours, on weekends or holidays, we offer on-call provider services", reachable by calling 443-703-3600, and warns "This service should not be used for life-threatening emergencies. If you have a life-threatening emergency, call 911." It also says "BMS now offers telehealth services for most appointments" without saying whether telehealth applies to dental visits. Not published: how far ahead to schedule, typical wait times or availability, cancellation or no-show rules, what to bring to a first visit, new-patient forms, or whether a referral is needed. Callers should ask the office at 443-703-3600.
