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.

I don't know about free, but contact your local health dept and ask them if they have a dental program . Most of them have free clinics for children in school, for low income families and have siding scale fees available too. For adults, they might have one that you could pay as little as 10% of the fee. So, if the bill would be $100 you would pay $10. That is the way they work here in the eastern part of the state anyway. Good Luck.

Dental Cosmetic Treatment and Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges dental surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american patients.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.

I'm always surprised that people who don't have a dime to spend on a dentist, even when they have a dental emergency, will find dimes to spend on coffee, cigarettes, Itunes, clothes, or other things they want.\n\nThere are free or reduced cost community clinics to care for low-income people. They aren't very nice places, but they do minimum treatment and will take care of emergencies.\n\nMost of the free clinics in my area cater to disadvantaged children who are poor through no fault of their own.

The odds of finding a dentist to do free work is slim to none... unless of course you are married to a dentist or are another close friend or family member. Check with your nearest dental school as the students always need patients to work on and the fees are relatively low. Also, you can check with your local health department... many health departments in the U.S. now have dental clinics. Good luck to you.

{{{NEW JERSEY RESOURCES}}}\nhttp://www.camdencounty.com/government/offices/seniors/dental.html\n~~~~~~~~~~\nContact 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.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour 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."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nIf 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.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nCheck http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program.  New Jersey DOES.  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.  \n\nIf worse comes to worse, check out http://www.prosper.com and see if you can find a funding source.

You may want to try a local university or college in your area.  Many times they have dental students who do a lot of work and it is generaly a good thing because the instructors are on hand as well.  Sometimes you can get quality care.\nGood Luck Health Care Does Break Your Bank

Some colleges or universities that have dental schools offer free or reduced-cost dental care, if you are willing to let the senior students, who haven't graduated, do the work (under the supervision of the instructors, of course!)\n\nYou could also check with your local Department of Human Services ("Welfare") to see if you or your family qualify for any assistance.\n\nContact local churches (Catholic Charities, for example) to see if they have any aid available.\n\nCall The United Way in your area. They may have some leads for you.\n\nHope this helps!

Medicare isn't going to pay for any dental work.  If you have Medicaid, it will pay for x-rays, exams and dentures.  You can also try going on one of the plans such as Ameriplan or Denticare.  They have very low premiums every month.

My mother had the same problem because she was on SS. Look in the phone book and surrounding areas and call each and every dentist. Ask them if they accept payment plans. Also, call your nearest Department of human services and ask them if they refer you to someone. Have you thought of traveling. In Austin, Texas you can get them through a program. I will give you the link below. Also if you go farther south, you can find them way cheap, like $500.00. Towards Mexico. Good Luck!

Go to any Universities near your town.  Quite a few of them have students who do the work for not as much as a licensed dentist.  And they should always have a licensed dentist at their side observing the whole procedure to make sure they don't do anything incorrectly.

i had some real nice work done in south east asia. fillings extractions, root canal, post and cap. all very .. i mean VERY cheap...of coures there was no anesthetic and their offices were as clean as a barn...but the work was great...and fast. i'll never go to an american dentist again! ok i didnt have all this done at once but all together [ 2 different dentist]about 40 dollars us  and one time i got ripped off , it should have been less... this is all true but seriously you can get good safe western style work done in a big city clinic set up for foreigners for about 1/4 of western prices. but ive been happy w/ the back alley work.
