Dental care can be expensive. In today's depressed economy, the high
cost of dentistry can be prohibitive for millions of Americans. So where
does a person turn to find affordable dental care? Are there any
options for free dental care near you?
Affordable dentistry and
possibly free dentistry is available in most areas of the country, but
you need to know where to look. Here are some suggestions.
Your Local United Way Office
United
Way is a coalition of charitable organizations, with chapters in all 50
states. The United Way office in your area will have a listing of any
nearby free dental clinics or providers.
If nothing is listed in
your immediate area, don't give up. Ask the local office for the
telephone numbers of any United Way offices in the surrounding area and
check with these offices as well. A short car or bus ride is a small
price to pay, if you are in pain and in dire need of dental work.
