Question

I have no money and no insurance where can I go in Columbus, OH to get a tooth pulled?

Answer 1

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.

If you are a senior citizen, call your local Area Agency on Aging or Office on Aging. If you can not find a listing in your local phone book on the "County Government" pages (usually marked with blue borders), call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the Area Agency on Aging serving you.

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.

If worse comes to worse, check out http://www.prosper.com and see if you can find a funding source.

Answer 4

Find out where there is a dental school in your area. Another thing, you can call dentists and tell them your financial difficulty and ask them if you can make payments. You should pay what you can and be prompt with your payments. Later if you have another tooth problem he/she is more likely to help you again. Also you can call a local health dept. They may recommend a dentist that can help. Don't ask for free services. Just time to pay. In the mean time, try IBP. It helps the throbbing. You can also try putting an asprin on the tooth. I'll say a prayer for you. Good luck.
