You are welcome to bring a companion with you to your visit.

Dental Health

Dental care is covered under Medi-Cal, referred to as Denti-Cal. It pays for regular check-ups, cleanings, root canals (some), extractions, dentures, periodontal disease, and emergency services.

So what’s the problem?

No provider in the immediate area is accepting new adult patients.

Uh....But what about my teeth?

Burre Dental Center, located at 959 Myrtle Avenue in Eureka, takes TWO adult emergency patients per day. You must call at 8:00AM on the day you want to go (707-442-7078). Remember, they only take two emergency patients per day. If you wait until 8:03AM to call, it’s likely that you will not be one of those two. This is only for emergency services (infections and/or tooth pain). Be prepared to wait for at least five hours. This is a work-in appointment.
The only provider accepting new adult patients in Humboldt County is Southern Trinity Health Services, 321 Van Duzen Road, Mad River, CA. 707-574-6616.

There are several providers accepting new adult patients in the Redding and Santa Rosa areas. You can search Denti-cal’s website for providers accepting new adult patients at www.denti-cal.ca.gov/find-a-dentist/home. You can get a copy of the beneficiary handbook at www.denti-cal.ca.gov/DC_documents/beneficiaries/DC_beneficiary_handbook.pdf.

Medi-Cal will pay for transportation to Redding or Santa Rosa for a dental or medical appointment. Call 866-828-2303 to arrange such once you have an appointment with a provider.

More information on these resources can be found in the UPLIFT Eureka Resource Guide.
