Dawson County Health Department offers pediatric dental care and reduced-cost lab draws

A Dawson County Health Department representative said the clinic has a pediatric dentist and accepts Medicaid or self-pay for dental services. "We have a pediatric dentist here," the speaker said, adding that many people are unaware of the dental services available at the health department.

The presenter also noted that the department performs lab draws at reduced cost for patients who lack insurance but have a lab order from a provider, allowing them to get necessary tests without the higher fees sometimes charged elsewhere.
