Appointments
- Patients can schedule appointments in person or by calling 994-2314.
- Patients needing dental treatments other than cleanings must first see the dentist for an examination or consultation. Please call 994-2314 to schedule an appointment. Students who have recently been examined by a private dentist may have their records forwarded to the MSU dental clinic at [email protected] .
- Failure to show for two dental appointments within a semester results in revocation of dental clinic privileges for the remainder of that semester and a $10 No Show fee.

The MSU Student Insurance Plan does not cover dental services. SHS Dental Services is willing to assist in the submission of claims for private dental insurance. However, SHS Dental Services does not accept assignment of insurance benefits. Additionally, SHS Dental Services does not accept Medicaid, Indian Health Service, Veteran's Administration, or other third party payments.
*Note: If you are 18 and under, your MSU Student Health Insurance may cover dental services.
