Children’s Dental Services Headquarters is currently being expanded to add 10 additional operatories and be completed by Fall of 2024 AND it is the proud owner of 25 W. Superior Street in Duluth, where development of a Northeast Minnesota Dental HUB is underway!


 CDS received a Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) Community grant to install a rain garden and bioswale at its environmentally-friendly headquarters location at 636 Broadway St NE in Northeast Minneapolis. All invasive plant species were replaced with native plants; these vegetated bioswales slow runoff, provide flood storage, filter, trap and remove contaminants, reduce erosion, improve and protect groundwater quality, and reduce the use of harmful fertilizer and pesticides, all of which supports healthier Minnesota waters. This work would not be possible except for the vision, partnership and support of MWMO!

CDS gets a environmentally friendly parking lot:

In the fall of 2016, our East Hennepin office had the previous asphalt parking lot replaced with permeable pavement to help facilitate rainwater management. This type of pavement will help to filter rainwater and prevent it from rushing directing into the nearby Mississippi River. Our permeable parking lot was made possible by grants and direction from the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization.

Children's Dental Services Featured on the WCCO Evening News:

On October 17th, WCCO Twin Cities channel 4 News, visited one of our two main clinics which is named after and dedicated to Dr. John Williams who widely influenced who we are. He was a former NFL football player and U of MN graduate turned Dentist from North Minneapolis.

Children's Dental Services IS GREEN!

- Compost planning is underway with the support of the Hennepin County Environmental Health Division
