Yes. Thousands of dentists across the country provide their services at a lower cost through a dental community-sponsored assistance program. Since the assistance varies from community to community, call the local dental association for information on where you can find the nearest assistance program and low-cost care locations such as public health clinics and dental school clinics.
Check your local phone book or the Internet for your local dental association (eg Georgia Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, or search by your county or region).
The American Dental Association’s website provides links to the National Dental Association’s local community and the National Dental School. Ask your dentist or call your local social service agency for help finding these types of services in your community.
