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.  Children between the ages of 8 - 18 may recieve 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.  

Due to the large number of patients needing dental care we are unable to provide comprehensive exams except for children between the ages of 8 - 18.

  

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.  We do not make appointment beyond three months in the future.

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

  

How is the clinic funded?

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

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

  

How can I get answers to my questions or make an appointment?

Call us at 920-882-5500.  If we are helping other patients please leave a brief message and we will return your call.  Please listen to the entire menu options before making a choice.

  

Will I have to make a co-payment?

Yes.  You will need to make a co-payment at every visit based on a sliding scale according to your income.  The maximum co-payment for a regular appointment will be $25.00. TCCDC only accepts cash.

  
What do I need to bring with me when I register?
To register, individuals must bring a proof of residency (such as a driver's licence, electric bill or water bill with current address) and proof of income (two recent paycheck stubs, W-2, or previous year's taxes).
