Pelahatchie Dental Clinic is pleased to provide dental services for Medicaid and Chips patients. While most dental work is done in the hospital setting on younger patients and patients with disabilities, we do offer checkups, X-Rays, fluoride, sealants, and other work for younger and older children in our office. We assess each patient and the appropriate treatment options are presented to the guardian before any treatment is sent for approval and completed. At that time, a decision is also made whether the treatment can be done in office or at hospital.
