Top Dental Public Healths in Delaware

Dental Public Healths in Delaware: questions

• How are these dental public healths in Delaware ranked?

  The ranking weights NPPES record completeness, CMS Medicare enrollment, MIPS quality scores when available, and HRSA HPSA service. Of the 2 listed, 1 is Medicare-enrolled and 0 practice in a dental shortage area. We do not accept payment for placement.
• Do dental public healths in Delaware accept Medicaid?

  Delaware's Medicaid program is Delaware Medicaid. Specialist participation varies. We surface Medicare enrollment as a public-program proxy on each profile, but the only authoritative answer comes from the office and the Delaware Medicaid provider directory (https://dhss.delaware.gov/dhss/dmma/).
• How do I check a dental public health's license in Delaware?

  Use the Delaware Board of Dentistry & Dental Hygiene license-lookup at https://dpr.delaware.gov/boards/dental/. Confirm the license is active and check for any disciplinary actions.
• When should I see a dental public health instead of a general dentist?

  You generally don't — this is a non-clinical specialty; County health departments employ public health dentists for policy and program work; FQHCs (Federally Qualified Health Centers) sometimes employ them as dental directors.
