I made an appointment for one month out, but I'm not going to make it that long.

The clinic I called and was seen at a few years ago said they don't accept dental emergencies- which seems odd for a fQHC, in my opinion.

Any recommendations for a dentist that accepts vt medicaid in the NEK area that sees patients for emergency care would be much appreciated.

I have a awful dental history because of my severe dental anxiety. I finally talked to my pc about it and she said she would prescribe an anti-anxiety med when I have my appointment set up.

I looked for two years and had to get a credit card to pay. I also drive an hour and 25 min to get to there lol.

I also have Medicaid and was told nowhere is taking new patients on Medicaid and some places might phase it out.

The last place I saw a dentist was over an hour away, they had a sliding scale for non-medicaid covered procedures (so anything that beyond pulling a tooth), I just can't go back there I had a horrible experience (one of my many reasons for my dental anxiety).

I'm gonna keep trying, it's just even the calling the dentist gives me anxiety (which today is a good example of why when the lady was very rude to me about how they wouldn't see me for an emergency)

I'm not sure if you've checked this site or not, but here's a link to Northern Counties Health Care locations: Northern Counties Health Care

Central Vermont Dental Care got me in when I needed an emergency extraction of wisdom teeth immediately postpartum. They were lovely, quick, and kind about everything. Highly recommend!

I will try them if I can't find anything closer tomorrow. Thank you for the recommendation!

Plainfield Health Center. Not quite NEK but take a little trip down Route 2 and you’re there!

they can't see me until mid April, thank you though.

I might expand my search further south.
