If you live in the USA then call your local County Health Dept. and see if they can provide this care. If not, maybe they can direct you to an agency that can. Our congressmen need to know that the little amounts paid toward 'dental and eye care' by most insurance companies is not a lot of help. The premiums should cover a larger amount for these much needed services. While the new 'national healthcare package' is being put together, make your voices heard. If you have no insurance coverage, then there is medical care with the county where you live in USA that has been renewed for underage children for many issues. Just maybe this would include dental needs. Check with your county offices.

Understanding the Different Types of Insurance for Children?
Adults are not the only ones who need insurance. Just like adults, children can have health insurance, life insurance and dental insurance. These insurance policies protect the health of the child as well as the wallets of their parents.Insurance Offered By the Federal and State GovernmentWhile many parents are able to add their children onto their health insurance plan, not every parent is so fortunate. Parents who are uninsured and cannot afford private insurance might be able to insure their children through Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Both of these programs are available to low-income families throughout the United States. However, CHIP has more lenient income requirements and accepts families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid.State governments also fund health insurance programs for children. While looking for insurance, consider both state- and federally-funded insurance to determine which policy best meets your family's needs.Life Insurance for ChildrenIn addition to health insurance, it is also possible to get life insurance for children. These policies are usually very affordable and can be converted into cash once the child has reached a certain age. Most parents choose to purchase child life insurance for three reasons. The first reason is to protect their finances should the unthinkable happen. The second is to save money for college or future expenses. Lastly, purchasing child life insurance ensures that the child will be able to have life insurance as an adult, even if he or she should develop a serious medical condition.Dental Insurance for ChildrenChildhood is a critical time for the development of the teeth. Yet, many children lack dental insurance, and as a result, they also lack proper dental care. Fortunately, both private and government-funded dental insurance is available. Children who qualify for Medicaid or CHIP will qualify for dental insurance through these programs.Families who do not qualify can purchase private dental insurance policies for their children. These policies help families afford routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants and more expensive procedures. This ensures that a child's teeth are properly cared for and protects against future dental problems.
