• Have your insurance identification information ready before you call
• Call 218–444–9646; 1–888–678–3033 or stop in at 1405 Anne St NW in Bemidji
• Call BEFORE pain becomes unbearable, as there may be a lengthy wait
• Once scheduled, keep your appointment

When You Arrive

• 1) Check in at the front desk with our staff
• 2) Have your insurance information with you
• 3) Be prepared to fill out health history, treatment consent and privacy forms for yourself and all family members who have an appointment

You have two options for completing these forms. You can either use our computerized Patient Check-in Stations, or we can print out paper forms for you to fill out by hand. Please let the front desk staff know which option you prefer. Cancellation Policy: A 24 hour notice is required if you cannot make a scheduled appointment. Because we have so many people waiting to be seen, if you miss three appointments without notice, you may have to wait up to six months to be rescheduled.

Who is Eligible

To receive dental care, patients must either:

• Be enrolled in a Minnesota Health Care Plan such as Medical Assistance or Minnesota Care. With your member number, you can contact us to make an appointment anytime.
• Meet income guidelines for access to a non-enrolled patient fee schedule. To find out if you're eligible, contact Community Resource Connections at 218–333–6856 or at the clinic number 218–444–9646.

* Please note that Northern Dental Access Center operates by appointment, with only limited availability and resources for emergency visits.
