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 MassHealth 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 Laurel Kelsey Alyssa Henderson 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 Massachusetts Board of Registration in Dentistry license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Dentistry 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)?”
    • “Do you treat pediatric patients in this practice, or refer them to a pediatric dentist?”

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

About oral medicine specialists

What is a oral medicine specialist?

An oral medicine specialist manages non-surgical disease of the mouth — autoimmune conditions like lichen planus and pemphigus, oral manifestations of systemic disease, salivary gland disorders, and the dental care of medically complex patients (cancer survivors, transplant patients, severely immunocompromised patients).

Training. After dental school, an oral medicine specialist completes a 2- to 3-year accredited residency, often including a Master's degree. The specialty was officially recognized by the ADA in 2020. Board certification is through the American Board of Oral Medicine.
