Enrolled to bill Medicare
Being enrolled to bill Medicare is not the same as Medicare covering your dental treatment — traditional Medicare rarely covers routine dental care.
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 Maine, adult Medicaid covers a broad range of adult dental care. What Maine Medicaid covers, service by service
Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Does Kristen Hoglund 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.
