Consequently, students are encouraged to schedule appointments early in the semester. Early in each semester it is possible to treat many routine fillings, minor extractions, etc. This becomes more difficult later in the semester as the numbers of more serious and severe problems accumulate. Emergencies are always given priority and sufficient time is allowed to ensure their treatment. Missed Appointments Failure to show for two dental appointments within a semester results in revocation of dental clinic privileges for the remainder of that semester.
All fees are due and collected at the time treatment is rendered.
Students with outstanding debt to the dental clinic are not appointed for further treatment until the debt is paid in full. The MSU Medical Insurance Plan for students does not apply to dental clinic services. Additionally, the dental clinic does not accept Medicaid, Indian Health Service, Veteran's Administration, or other third party payments. Students are seen by appointment, but urgent problems are treated on a walk-in basis.
