Of course you can use the yellow pages or use 1-800-dentist... but I would not suggest it because the dentist pays for the ad and you have no way of knowing if they are a good dentist.  I would suggest getting recommendations from friends, family members and coworkers.

This web site was recommended by someone a couple of days ago.  Also, if you need treatment and cannot afford it, do you live near a university that has a dental school?   Or check phone book for County Dental Association for a recommendation of a dentist who works on a sliding scale according to your income.  Good Luck.

I can only assume that you are asking this question because you are considering seeking dental care abroad.  Any non-third world country can have dentists providing excellent care.  The only question I would ask is, how in the world are you going to find out which dentist in any foreign country is right for you?  It's hard enough for people to find a good dentist in their own neighborhood where they can get recommendations from friends and co-workers.  What are you going to do if you have trouble with your dental services six months after you return to the states?\n\nQUITE SERIOUSLY, two of my favorite and seemingly best qualified dental instructors in school were from overseas.  One was from Iraq and the other from Iran.  FAR from Iraq and Iran, as they were practicing in the USA, but they were trained in their homelands.  You just can't say what country has the best dentists as a blanket statement.\n\nIf I have misunderstood your intentions, please accept my apology and ignore my answer.

look in the phone book under dentists, for a dental referral service. tell them your situation, and they will hook you up w/ a list of dentists...good luck with this.  also, check to see if there is a school of dentistry in your area...they will be helpful too, as they need patients to work on. (supervised by a dentist of course) ;o]

Check with the dental school nearest you.  The students do really good work and are well supervised.  Also, contact the health department in your area... many health departments in the U.S. now have dental clinics.

There is a number called 1-800-Dentist - it can help you find a good dentist in your area and tell you if a dentist has had problems in the past w/ patients, malpractice suits, etc.  Also, I would start calling different dentists in your town or surrounding towns and tell them some of your story...  ask them if they are willing to take on a charity case.  I was a dental asst. and we did this a few times a year to lend a helping hand in our community.  HTH & GL to you!
