Dental public health is generally a discounted program for underprivileged communities. Usually these programs are partly funded by the state. Many public grade schools have a program and the students parents pay a small fee for their child's dental care. There are companies that devote their business to offering these services directly in the schools with mobile dental equipment.
There are also clinics for adults that are partly funded by the state or local government in which low income individuals can get dental care at a reduced cost that in a private dental practice.
Some public health programs have volunteer health professionals and some have paid professionals at a reduced salary. Either way, low income individuals can get certain procedures done for free or at a greatly reduced cost. An example is for @ 65.00 a child in the registered program can get a full dental checkup, teeth cleaning, x-rays, fluoride and sealants. This would normally cost over 300.00 in a private practice.
