No Dental Insurance? Free Dental Clinics Here

81

By 2besure

Thanks goodness, free dental care is available in this country. I will lay out several ways to find dental care anywhere in the US. Did you know you can find a dentist who will treat you at not cost in your city? Your dental health is one of the most important aspects of your general health.

Failure to see a dentist regularly, can lead to cavities, broken teeth, gingivitis and other gum related disease, that can result in tooth loss. Gum disease can also negatively affect your appearance and your heart.

If you have an infection of the gums, the poison can seep down into your heart and cause you medical problems.

Also, there is nothing more disheartening than enduring a throbbing toothache, or watching your children suffer with rotting and discolored teeth,knowing you can not afford to go to the dentist.

The good news is, there are dentists who give back to the community by treating clients who can not afford a dental plan. Many will treat you without cost and some require a small fee, like $20. Here is a list a places where you can find a free dental clinic.

If you are unable to pay for a dentist for your children and live in the US, apply for medicaid for you and your children. This will allow you not only to see a dentist for no cost, but to see a physician on a regular basis and obtain prescription drugs at no cost.

The government provides free care for children whose parents receive Aid to Dependent Children (ADC).

If you do not receive ADC, but believe that you may qualify for Medicaid for your children, because of your income, contact your local Department of Social Services.

These are great tips but there are clinics that offer free dental care all year long through government subsidies or non-profit contributions. There is a nationwide directory of free dental clinics here: http://www.freedentalcare.us

Granny's house, I had similar experiences with dentists back in the day. I would get sick with fear before an appointment. They are so much better now, with nice music and painless procedures.
