Free Dental Care Clinics

Wednesday February 11, 2009
What a great resource and a great way to give back! Dentists across the nation will be holding "free dental care" days in conjunction with Dentistry from the Heart. These clinics are for people who do not have dental insurance. Cleanings, filings, X-rays... they are all free!

According to their website, "Dentistry From The Heart is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to providing free dental care to those who need it. Every year, individual dentists and practices across the country donate their time and resources to host their own DFTH events. In support, the national organization serves to recruit, unify, and promote on a national level." You can find a full list of participating dentists at www.dentistryfromtheheart.org.

If you can make it to North Carolina, you can get free dental work. Our program travels around rural parts of NC, sets up 30-80 dental chairs, with units, and provides cleanings, fillings, and extractions, depending on what you need. If you would like more information or the calendar of our Events, check out our website: Click Here!

(13) Michael says:

I lost my job 2 and 1/2 years ago, I am presently working but making just enough to barely survive. I am in desperate need of severe dental care. I have toothaches every day, and ambesol does not get rid of the pain anymore. Most of my teeth have broken off or have been grinded down due to an extreme overbite. I cannot smile without being embarassed, I need to get a better job, but I can’t due to the way I look. I will do anything in return if someone could lead me in the right direction to get help – May God Bless You !!!

i was told by a friend about the mission of mrecy event in my area . i have dental insurance but still could not afford th treatment i needed due to the cost of the co pays . i attended the the clinc . which was held in newton iowa and got 9 teeth takin out at no cost to me but the gas to get there . and would of been able to get dentuers if i would of been there on the first day of the event . i have done some searching on the web and found they have these events in most areas once a year . the care i got was wonderfull and there is no income or insurance limits . to find out if there is an event coming to your area simply do a search for a mission of mercy in your state . i hope this is helpful to those of you in pain and in need or care but who simply cannot afford it .

I have two cracked teeth and they have been like that for over a couple of years. I can’t afford to go to the dentist. Iam currently going through some really hard financial times, I had to let my car go cause I couldn’t afford the payments. I’m actually in bankrupcy, due to a lot of medical problems and the cost of all my medications. Sometimes I can’t afford my medications and go without. I really need some help I’ve been experiencing some pain with one of them. I just don’t know what else to do. Please give me some advise. Thank you
