Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.
Call your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.
Your local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic. In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."
Go to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.
Check http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.
Check http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.
Check http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program. D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems. This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you. Not all states have D.D.S. programs.

I have been praying for proper (or any) dental care for the poor ever since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm over 40 now. Currently I see no future in any chance of a dentist donating any time or hope for waffle house waitresses. The government could hire dentist ran by the county, state and federal gov. but they have convinced themselves that that would be a greater harm to our society but I think it is really just to remind people who they are and to keep everyone in their place. Waffle House could buy better (or get) insurance but that's just a mask for future higher prices and the insurance company's children are most likely the dentist. Good luck!

If you don't get a donation. Go to http://everyonebenefits.com/40436527 the dental plan is very affordable. I save a lot on dental services. And the cost is only $11.95 a month
