Hey, I had Denture's about 4 or 5 Years ago. Medicaid paid to have them adjusted to fit my mouth... But, it need no good... I can't wear my Denture's except when I'm leaving my house, but then I have to use so much stuff on them it makes me so sick on my stomach. I can't eat with them don't even wear them unless I'm going out then it's horrible, cause if I go out to eat I have to run to the bathroom and take them out, and when I say that's embarrassing I mean it!!! Need to find out if Medicaid will pay to have them adjusted now, I was told they would pay again in 4 or 5 years... I truly need help
I am retired, a recent widow, and am presently in financial difficulty. When I developed tooth pain, I was terrified, knowing how expensive dental visits can be. Someone suggested this dental clinic. Even though I had never been there, they made room for a visit on the day of my call. The person answering my call was knowledgeable, asked appropriate questions, and accurately conveyed my issue to the dentist. They were efficient and professional, yet very kind, taking time to explain things and express interest in me as a human being. With the sliding scale, I received great care that I could afford. This is a valuable and much needed service to the community for which I am very thankful.
Whate is the prices on sliding scale fee
