Where to find free dental clinics

  • Community Health Centers: These federally-funded health centers provide a wide range of medical and dental services to underserved communities. They operate on a sliding fee scale, which means that the cost of care is based on your income. Some community health centers also have dental clinics on site.
  • Free and Low-Cost Clinics: There are many free and low-cost clinics throughout the United States that offer dental services to those in need. These clinics are often run by nonprofit organizations or local volunteers. You can search for these clinics online or check with your local health department for more information.
  • Dental Schools: Dental schools often have clinics where students provide dental care under the supervision of experienced faculty. These clinics may offer discounted or free dental services to patients. Contact your local dental school to inquire about their services.
