How Do You Get Indigent Dental Assistance?
Finding dental care when you have no dental insurance will mean searching for free or reduced-price services for your age group. Dr. Kimberley Harms, DDS, a licensed dentist since 1981, is a consumer advisor for the American Dental Association. Harms said the ADA is concerned about access to dental care for everyone who needs it. “This is America and nobody should go to bed with a toothache anymore,” Harms said. “We have the resources to take care of that.” Contact your state dental association to find out where free or low-cost services are available. The state dental society has lists of who provides care. A list of state dental associations is available on the ADA website. See if your income qualifies for Medicaid, a state program that provides medical benefits to low-income individuals and families. Locate a federally funded health center that provides dental care. The Health Resources and Services Administration has an online search page to locate federally funded health centers.
