Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is the clinic accepting new patients?

Anyone who is eligible is able to register at the clinic.  Currently we are seeing new adult patients on an emergency basis only.  If time is available, children between the ages of 3 - 18 may receive a complete exam and cleanings.

When can I get an appointment to have my teeth checked, get a filling, or get my teeth cleaned?

If you are in severe pain or swelling you may come in for an emergency walk-in.  Other appointments must have a comprehensive exam before any cleaning or fillings can be done.

Will there be emergency appointments available every day?

There may be times when we cannot see emergency patients or schedule all your appointments ahead.  Our volunteer dentists may not be available or our schedule may not allow us to accept additional appointments or emergencies. 

 

For emergencies, we ask that you call 920-882-5500 and listen to the recording to verify a dentist will be available to treat emergency patients.  We encourage you to check in frequent as to the availability of appointments.

How is the clinic funded?

All our dentists and hygienists are volunteers.  Other costs are funded by individual donors, grants, and by Medicaid payments.

 

We are a not-for-profit clinic.  The clinic is NOT a local, state, or government agency.
