Before you book

Five-minute checklist before you call

Federal data tells you a dentist exists and is enumerated. It does not confirm insurance acceptance, current availability, or office fit. Use this list when you call so the visit isn’t a surprise.

  1. Confirm insurance & out-of-pocket cost

    • “Do you accept my exact insurance plan? (give the carrier, plan name, and member ID)”
    • “Are you accepting new NC Medicaid patients right now?”
    • “What is the out-of-pocket cost I should expect for the type of visit I need?”
    • “If you are out of network for me, can you bill my insurer or only me?”

  2. Verify the dentist & availability

    • “Is Frank J. Courts the dentist who will see me, or another provider in the practice?”
    • “Are you accepting new patients? When is the next available appointment?”
    • “Will the same dentist handle follow-up visits, or rotate?”

  3. Verify the license yourself

    Search the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners site →

  4. Match office services to your needs

    • “Do you offer emergency or same-day appointments? After-hours number?”
    • “What languages do your front desk and clinical staff speak?”
    • “Is the office wheelchair-accessible? Any accommodations available on request?”
    • “Do you offer sedation options for anxious patients (nitrous, oral, IV)?”
    • “How do you handle a young child’s first dental visit, and can a parent stay in the room?”

Ready to call? Have your insurance card and a list of symptoms or visit reasons in front of you.

About pediatric dentists

What is a pediatric dentist?

A pediatric dentist (sometimes called a pedodontist) specializes in the dental care of infants, children, and teens, including kids with special health-care needs. Their offices are designed for small patients, and they're trained in behavior management, sedation appropriate for kids, and developmental issues like early childhood caries and tooth-eruption problems.

Training. After dental school, a pediatric dentist completes a 2-year postdoctoral residency in pediatric dentistry. Many are board-certified through the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
