College drops dental care deposit fees for adults  

The forerunner of what’s now Texas A&M College of Dentistry opened 120 years ago in Dallas with the mission of educating dentists to provide quality care to patients in North Texas and beyond. That includes providing an array of dental services to the community at reduced fees.  To give back to North Texas community that’s supported the dental college, effective immediately, A&M Dentistry has eliminated initial deposit fees charged to potential adult patients – a $194 savings to oral health care already offered at discounted rates. A person seeking to become a new patient is now charged a flat $120 for registration, the screening appointment and X-rays. If a person is not accepted as a patient, no fee will be charged.
