About root canals
An endodontist treats the inside of the tooth: root canals, retreatments and the surgery that sometimes follows. A root canal can save a tooth that would otherwise have to be pulled.
Paying for a visit
This is a dental school clinic. Treatment is given by students under faculty supervision, usually for less than a private practice charges, but appointments are longer and there is often a screening visit first. Dental school clinics: what to expect, and is it worth it?
In Texas, adult Medicaid does not cover routine adult dental care. What Texas Medicaid covers, service by service
Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Does Asma Khan see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?
- Do I need a referral from a general dentist first?
- Do you offer reduced fees or a payment plan for patients without insurance?
- 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.
