PLEASE BE AWARE that providers who advertise that they accept credit may offer patients a dental credit card. Many patients report difficulty after signing up for dental credit cards, particularly with credit card charges for services that were recommended but not received and with excessive interest rates on unpaid balances. We recommend that dental credit cards be used with great caution and only for care actually received.

If Medi-Cal authorization is denied, patients can appeal the denial. For help with a Denti-Cal appeal, patients can call the Health Consumer Center at (800) 896-3203.
