About general dentistry
A general dentist handles most everyday care: check-ups, cleanings, fillings, simple extractions and referrals onward when something needs a specialist. For most people this is the first appointment to make.
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 Illinois, adult Medicaid covers some adult dental care, but not everything. What Illinois Medicaid covers, service by service
Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Does Hemina Desai 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.
