About dental anaesthesia
A dental anesthesiologist provides sedation and general anaesthesia for dental treatment, which matters for young children, people with severe anxiety and patients with special health care needs.
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 California, adult Medicaid covers some adult dental care, but not everything. What California Medicaid covers, service by service
Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Does Michelle Pashley see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?
- Do I need a referral from a general dentist first?
- 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.
