You should check out your local university. Many times they offer dental work performed by their students.
Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine is part of Boston University and offers a comprehensive education for those aspiring to work in the dental field.
Check with your community college system. They often have courses for this area and are much cheaper than a private vocational school.
University of Arkansas School of Social Work was created in 1940.
According to google the indiana University dental school does do dental work for the poor and unisured. I wish I lived closer to indiana.
One source of lower-cost dental care is a dental school clinic. Generally, dental costs in school clinics are reduced and may include only partial payment for professional services covering the cost of materials and equipment. Your state dental society can tell you if there is a dental school clinic in your area.
My husband needs dental work badly and no insurance---our only means of income is social security--could you please tell us where we can get his work done perhaps at a dental school--we live in Ft Worth, Tx---thanks you
Graduate from high school with good grades, get very good grades in college so that you can get into a good Dental School.
School can take 2 years on average. This can vary based on the exact area of dental work you are going into.
You should know how much the dental work is going to cost. You should know how much of it your insurance is going to cover, and how much you have to pay yourself. Dental work can get very expensive.
All Dental Schools take patients and give very cheap dental care. It is a necessity for the school. the students in the school need "dummies" to practice on. NOt to say that you are a dummy for going although you do sign a waver and you are fully aware that the treatment you will be receiving is not from a licensed dentist and is completely a learning experience for a dental student. which most the time nothing ever goes wrong so you help a student achieve and succeed and you save on average 60-80% on dental care so its a win-win situation. Just search for the nearest dental School one with a DDS program (Doctor of Dental Surgery) and they will take pateints and give cheaper dental care.
You don't have to go to another country to find cheaper dental care. Google "dental schools in the USA", to find dental school listings. You will have to go through a screening process which often includes a lottery to become a patient. The screening is not based on financial needs, rather, it is based on the type of dental treatment that one needs and what the dental school needs in patients for their students. It takes longer but it well worth the wait since you will pay so very much less for your dental care. You will be seen by dental students but they are always well-monitored by their teachers, professors of dentistry, so you are assured to have a quality dental experience.
