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 Georgia 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 Stephen Joseph Arthur 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 Georgia Board of Dentistry license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the Georgia Board of 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?”

About dental public healths

What is a dental public health?

Dental public health practitioners work on community-wide dental issues rather than seeing individual patients in private practice. They run public health programs (Medicaid dental, school sealant programs, water fluoridation policy), do epidemiological research, and consult on access-to-care problems like dental HPSAs.

Training. After dental school, a public health dentist completes a 1- to 3-year residency that often includes a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree. Board certification is through the American Board of Dental Public Health.
