I mean.. if they have medicaid, and the Dental Office is set up to take payments from the Social Security Administration... then they obviously could take anyone who has Medicaid right? This office is claiming they only accept Medicaid for patients under 18... Seems crooked in my opinion.
Dental for the elderly is pretty much nonexistent except for private pay. We did thousands of $$$ of my mom's spend-down on dental for her because of this. Really if you can even find a dentist who will work on the elderly, it is worth it. They are few and far between. You can ask their MD if they will prescribe one of the Colgate prescription products that the NH can use. Like Colgate Periogard. But it has to be an RX with MD orders in their chart for it to be done. Good luck.
