Where Can I go to Get a Free Dental Cleaning?
I just want to get a dental cleaning is there any dentist that will just give me a free cleaning? I do not have any money but are there dentist that give free services to people in need? If so how do I find them? I do not think a cleaning is much to ask for and would like to have one since I have not been to the dentist in over six years.
Reply: If you have not seen a dentist is over six years it is more then likely you may need more then just a general cleaning. I understand times can be hard but trying to find a dentist that will just do a cleaning for free may be harder.
Most dentist will not just do a cleaning. Your first visit to a dentist may include office visit, X-rays, oral evaluation, cleaning and a treatment plan, all of which can range from $100 – $200 or more depending on the dentist.
You may be able to seek help from a dental school or a dental clinic if you have any in your given area that you can go to. In the month of February there tends to free dental care drives at certain locations. It is a wait in line type of thing but these events tend to be free. You will need to visit the American dental association website to see if anything like that is going on in your area
Otherwise I suggest buying an HMO dental insurance plan that normally will offer office visit, X-rays, oral evaluation, cleaning and a treatment plan for free.
HMO dental insurance plans are low in there monthly cost and hopefully would be affordable for you to get.
