Top Dental Public Health Dentists in New York

Dental Public Health Dentists in New York: questions

• How are these dental public health dentists in New York ranked?

  The ranking weights NPPES record completeness, CMS Medicare enrollment, MIPS quality scores when available, and HRSA HPSA service. Of the 10 listed, 6 are Medicare-enrolled and 0 practice in a dental shortage area. We do not accept payment for placement.
• Do dental public health dentists in New York accept Medicaid?

  New York's Medicaid program is New York 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 New York Medicaid provider directory (https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/).
• How do I check a dental public health dentist's license in New York?

  Use the New York State Board for Dentistry license-lookup at https://www.op.nysed.gov/professions/dentists. Confirm the license is active and check for any disciplinary actions.
• When should I see a dental public health dentist 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.
