HOW DO I FIND A DENTIST?

If you do not have a primary dentist, the first thing you should do is find a dentist that will accept your insurance. A reliable source in finding eligible dentists is:

To find a dentist, select your health plan, insurance program, as well as your zip code, and it will pull up all of the providers in your area that match your requirements.

*NOTE This website only lists healthcare providers that accept MEDICAID

After you receive your list, the next step is to communicate with the dentist’s office. The easiest way to communicate is by calling the number listed and asking the receptionist if the dentist is taking any additional patients. Make sure you have all of the information below before you make the call.

New visits are usually scheduled several weeks in advance, so patients should call when they are healthy. Calling ahead will ensure that you have a place to go when you need assistance.

Don’t get discouraged if a dentist is unable to accept you as a new patient, just move on to the next dentist on the list.
