UW DECOD Clinic — Dental Education in the Care of Persons with Disabilities
The University of Washington's long-running clinic for people with developmental and acquired disabilities. DECOD is one of the oldest programs of its kind in the country and trains dentists nationally in disability care. Dental school clinics trade time for expertise: appointments run longer because students do the work under supervision, and there can be a wait for a first visit. In exchange you get a team that treats disabled patients every day, usually at a lower cost, and they generally accept Medicaid.
