MCHC has a limited amount of funding to offer dental services through referrals for patients with pain, infection, bleeding, or trauma. Currently we cover initial exams, cleanings, scalings, dental sealants, repair of cavities, and extractions. We can pay for some dentures/partials as a part of the overall treatment plan should funding allow. We 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.
