Faq
Does Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center accept Medicaid for dentistry services?
Yes, the center is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), so it accepts Medicaid, Medicare, Child Health Plus, and most commercial insurance plans, plus a sliding-fee scale for uninsured patients, ensuring that cost is rarely a barrier to routine cleanings, fillings, or emergency extractions at the Central Avenue location.
How soon can I get a same-day emergency appointment with a dentist here?
Because Addabbo reserves daily urgent slots, you can usually be seen within 24 hours for severe pain, swelling, or trauma by calling (718) 945-7150 before 9 a.m.; walk-ins are accepted but wait times vary, so early calls secure the fastest treatment.
What languages do the dental providers speak at the Far Rockaway site?
Most dentists and assistants are bilingual in English and Spanish, and interpreter services in Haitian Creole, Russian, and Bengali are available on request, making treatment explanations and consent forms fully accessible to the neighborhood’s multicultural patients.
Is the health center’s dental clinic kid-friendly?
Absolutely, the pediatric wing uses low-radiation digital X-rays, flavored fluoride varnishes, and a tell-show-do approach to calm young nerves, while parents can stay chair-side; sealants and early-orthodontic screenings are also offered on-site so families avoid separate referrals.
