Dental Insurance Plus, Free Dental Care
Question: Is there dental teaching hospitals that give free dental care? I am in very bad shape and need major gum grafting care. I am low income and I do not have dental insurance for even basic dental care services let alone all I really need to have done.
Are there any teaching hospitals for dental care I can go to that would either be very low cost to me or free? I am willing to drive almost anywhere but not sure how to go about finding places like them.
Reply: Often times even dental schools will charge you. Normally based on what you can afford to pay. You can search for dental schools in your area or however far you are willing to drive. Dental clinics may be more available but they may not be providing the dental services you need. Again it would be just a matter of searching for clinics online. You may also want to go to the American Dental Association website. They also list special event days for free dental care as well as provide listing on dental clinics
