Answer 1

I know of a discount dental benefit plan that would only cost her $11.95 per month. She could keep it for the first month and cancel after her surgery. If her dentist is on the provider list, she could save about half on the surgery. There is no pre-existing conditions and she would become covered the same day she signs up. Email me if you want more information. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Please contact your state dental association and ask about participating in "Donated Dental Services," which is a charity care program designed specifically for patients such as you who are financially compromised due to medical problems. Free care exists if you know how to ask for it. Unfortunately, D.D.S. does not operate in all areas of the country, but hopefully there will be an office near you.

Look in the Yellow Pages under "American Dental Association" and you will find your local listing or you can click on this link:

Answer 3

If there is a dental school close to you, they are usually looking for patients and will do the work at little or no cost. Also, some communities have a dental clinic with income based fee schedules - try your chamber of commerce and see if you have a free or no fee dental clinic for low income patients.

Answer 4

If your friend is disabled, she should be on a disability pension, in which case is she gets a referral from dental clinic (free on pension), to a dental surgeon, she will get it free. All dental clinics are free to pensioners. Another alternative is to find a dental clinic attached to a hospital, or visit the dental section of a University.
