This is a SLIDING SCALE clinic. The costs for clinic services are based on either your income or they offer type of financial assistance. Contact the clinic directly to discuss prices for individual services which vary. Sliding Scale does not necessarily mean free.
MCHC has a limited amount of funding to offer dental services through referrals for patients with pain, infection, bleeding, or trauma. Currently they cover initial exams, cleanings, scalings, dental sealants, repair of cavities, and extractions. They can pay for some dentures/partials as a part of the overall treatment plan should funding allow. They do NOT cover root canals, crowns, and other major restorative work like implants.

Many communities have clinics that charge little or nothing for dental care. They are usually run by nonprofits, community health centers, dental schools and local health departments, and they often rely on grants, donations and public funding. Some serve everyone on a sliding fee scale, while others focus on children, seniors or people without insurance. Every clinic sets its own rules, so call ahead and ask what you qualify for.
