How can I find out about charitable or low-cost dental care for persons in need?
Assistance programs vary from state to state, so you may want to contact your state dental society to see if there are programs in your area. Another possible source of lower-cost dental care is a dental school clinic. Generally, dental costs in school clinics are reduced and may include only partial payment for professional services covering the cost of materials and equipment. Your state dental society can tell you if there is a dental school clinic in your area, or you can search our list. For more resources, please visit the National Institute of Health’s Web site.
