For information about reduced-cost dental treatment, contact your local dental school. Dental schools often have clinics that allow dental students to gain experience treating patients while providing care at a reduced cost. Experienced, licensed dentists closely supervise the students.
Find a Health Center lets you locate the nearest Federally-funded health center, where you can find dental (also medical and mental health) care, even if you have no health insurance. You pay what you can afford, based on your income. Health centers are in most cities and many rural areas.
You may also wish to contact your state or local health department to find out what services are offered in your area.
