Finding a dentist
We partner with local dental plans so you can see the dentist with no cost to you. Your dental plan is listed on your Member ID card. They work with you to take care of your dental needs. Call them when you need dental care or have questions about oral health, before you seek emergency or urgent care.
Your dentist:
- Is your first contact when you need dental care, except in a life-threatening emergency like uncontrollable bleeding.
- Arranges for specialty dental care, if you need it.
- Keeps your dental records and knows your oral health best, so they can offer the best advice even in an emergency.
