How to qualify for free dental care

  • Income Eligibility: Many free dental clinics operate on a sliding fee scale, which means that the cost of care is based on your income. To qualify for free or reduced-cost dental care, you will need to provide proof of income, such as pay stubs or tax returns.
  • Insurance Coverage: Some free dental clinics may require you to have certain types of insurance, such as Medicaid or CHIP, to qualify for their services. Check with the clinic beforehand to ensure that you meet their eligibility requirements.
  • Residency: Most free dental clinics are limited to serving residents of a specific area. Make sure to check the residency requirements of the clinic before seeking care.
