Is there a dentist that does oral surgery, accpets straight medi-cal & is not Western Dental in Sacramento Ca?

I had a friend go to western dental for teeth extraction and I dont want to go through what they did. I called a lot of places in my area and no one accepts any type of medi-cal. I have straight medi-cal.

Is there a dentist that does oral surgery, accpets straight medi-cal %26amp; is not Western Dental in Sacramento Ca?
Here's their site that lists their dentists in the network:

Good luck!
Reply:Well, you are asking a lot, considering that you are on a state-funded program. Cheap places accept it for a reason.





Just call them and do EXACTLY what the dentist tells you to do. With extractions, you can't smoke or drink out of a straw. You must take your medicine and keep your mouth clean.





I've never had any problems with my extractions. I don't smoke and I do exactly what the dentist told me to do. But then again, I don't live in CA and am not on public assistance.





Good luck. Hope this helps.
Reply:You aren't going to find an Oral surgeon that accepts a state insurance because the reinbursemnt rate is too low. Unfortunately you either have to go to a place that takes your insurance or pay out of pocket. An oral surgeon will charge between $200-500 depending on how hard the extraction is.
