Answer:

Definitely try local universities. I know NYU Dental in NYC has a clinic for people in your situation. The other option you may want to look into is going to your local hospital and asking about clinics available. I know our local hospital has a dental clinic and walk in clinic for clients who need finanicial assistance with their health care. Good luck!

Answer:

Contact a University that has a Dental School near you to see if they have any programs. Some health departments have dental clinics and even if they don't they may be able to point you in the right direction. It is extremely important to take care of your teeth, it can impact on your physical health if left untreated. I wish you all the best.

Answer:

Try a dental school where they have sliding fees based on income. You are worked on by a student but every step is supervised by a practicing professor who is a dentist. Excellent care with the newest technology, equipment and techniques.

That's true. My brother got free dental care from his friend who was studying dentistry. They're always too to practice on patients.

Answer:

I would agree with ChangeHero. Also, there are dental schools, universities and clinics that operate on a sliding scale based on how much you can pay.
As a school they have the latest equipment and thinking and the students are overseen by professionals, so in some ways you are getting better care.

I see that you're in FL. Try contacting the Florida Dental Assoc. Link. They may be able to direct you to someone.
