Dental Update

If you need dental care, be sure to check out the blog from 2008 regarding the sliding-scale dentist in South Seattle... however, here is another option...

If you are an AP under the age of 20, you may qualify to participate in KC Kids - King County Kids Oral Health Program. This offerings low income folks with free oral health, dentist offerings, and more.

Dentist recommendation

Viivi swears by these guys. While they are a bit out of the way, they offer very good, and inexpensive, dental care.

You have to show up 15 minutes early - or else your appointment may be given away. And if you can't make it, call one day ahead. However, with a letter from your HF stating your job role, and pay (weekly) with a copy of a weekly check, you qualify for the cheapest dental care available. Most weeks the co-pay is $25, but other times it is $0. Either way, it's great dental care. They do everything except for root canals. Still working on a source for that.
