Visiting a Clinic
Call first before you visit a clinic. Ask questions such as:
- Can I make an appointment, or are there times when I can just come in?
- Does this dentist take my insurance? If not, how much will I have to pay?
- What do I need to bring with me to the appointment? You may need to bring things such as a photo ID, social security number, and insurance card.
Call your insurance provider to know how much you will pay for any service including cleaning, fillings, and tooth removal.
