About public health dentistry
Dental public health is the specialty concerned with the oral health of whole communities. At a clinic, a dentist registered this way is often part of a programme serving people who struggle to get care elsewhere.
Paying for a visit
This is a community health center. Federal rules require it to offer discounts based on income and household size, and it cannot turn you away because you cannot pay. How sliding-scale fees work at community health centers
In Alabama, adult Medicaid does not cover routine adult dental care. What Alabama Medicaid covers, service by service
Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Does Arealle Franklin see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?
- What income documents should I bring to get the sliding-fee discount?
- What will the first visit cost me, and what will it include?
A dentist registered at an address may work there only some days, or may have moved on. The clinic's front desk can confirm.
