Public Health Dentistry

Took Lea to the HealthPoint dental clinic in Redmond this morning. She completed the paperwork and was done with the dentist in less than an hour. She has to get 25 teeth or their remnants pulled and get dentures. They will have her come back one more time and then send her to Harborview for oral surgery.

She pays on a sliding scale. With no income, the cost is only the cost of Rx medications.

I am grateful my teeth are in excellent condition and that there is a place for the uninsured to go to get decent dental care.
