Children and Adults

What dental services are provided... ?

We provide comprehensive dental treatment to children ages 3 to 20 who are Medicaid eligible. We provide limited services to adults on Medicaid.  Emergency treatment and extractions are the only services offered.

Children who are not on Medicaid can receive an emergency appointment only.  This includes an x-ray and prescription if necessary, until the child can get to a private dentist.  No actual dental work can be performed on child.  If patient has gone through eligibility the fee is based on income.  If patient has not gone through eligibility, we can provide this service for a $20.00 fee.

 If you or your child is in pain, and are Medicaid eligible, an appointment consisting of an x-ray and possibly a prescription for infection can be obtained prior to eligibility.
