FREDERICK, Md. - Marylandian -- Maryland Sedation Dentistry and Surgical Center (MDSDSC), proudly announces that it is now accepting Medicaid patients and their referring dentists from Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C. who require dental procedures under general anesthesia.

This development represents a critical step toward eliminating barriers to dental care for children, special needs adults, patients who simply can't sit for a procedure without anesthesia and patients requiring complex oral procedures. By accepting Medicaid coverage across state lines, MDSDSC ensures that patients who once faced long wait times, high costs, or limited availability can now access care in a safe, hospital-grade surgical environment.

A State-of-the-Art Facility Designed for Comfort and Safety

The Maryland Sedation Dentistry and Surgical Center is a hospital-grade, AAAHC accredited, outpatient facility built exclusively for dental procedures under general anesthesia. Unlike traditional hospital operating rooms, which are often overbooked and difficult to access for dental cases, MDSDSC offers a streamlined, patient-focused setting.

The center features:
- Fully equipped surgical suites with advanced anesthesia monitoring systems.
- Board-certified anesthesiologists working alongside general dentists and dental specialists.
- Recovery rooms designed for patient safety and comfort.
- Accessibility for multi-state Medicaid patients, ensuring timely care without excessive travel burdens.

Low or No Cost for Doctors and Patients

Traditionally, dental providers faced financial and logistical challenges when accessing anesthesia for their dental patients. Hospital-based procedures often carried high facility fees, long waitlists, and administrative complications.

MDSDSC eliminates these barriers by offering:
- Little to no out-of-pocket cost for patients, beyond Medicaid coverage.
- No facility fee burden for referring doctors or doctors that want to use the facility for their own patients.
- Regional access, minimizing delays caused by limited hospital OR slots.

This means patients receive the care they need faster, and doctors can confidently refer Medicaid patients without financial strain or these doctors can get credentialed and use the facility for their own patients.
