That’s funny that people are telling you to get a life when that’s what you’re trying to do. Anyway, I’ve included links to the LA free clinic, the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services, and (this one looks the best) Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The last link has a way for you to find out whether you are eligible for aid.
Once you have a little money, the least expensive way to get insurance is usually through your job. If you need private insurance, try MostChoice.com.
Good luck,

I live in canada where health care is free but why is dental not covered,isnt a smiling face important?
You people above are ALL WRONG.
Dentistry (most of it) isnt' simply cosmetic. Untreated decay can result in dibilitating infections, just like untreated diabetes, to cite just one example.
Also, in case you haven't noticed, the mouth is CONNECTED to the rest of the body. You can't drop it off like the dry cleaning and worry about it later.
To answer your question, the reason it's not covered? MONEY!!!!! $$$$$$ It would COST more and then taxes would go up and no one wants to raise taxes even for worthy issues like this.
if you don't LIKE that (and if you don't like having lots of uninsured people in the US, you Yanks out there!) try voting for more socialists... lol.

Yeah, well, it's more important to spend billions of dollars in Iraq than to waste it on oral health care on our own citizens, right?
Oh, wait.... Report It
Reply:because medical doctors specializes on the whole body, dentist is more concerned of the teeth alone and sorrounding parts, so medical and dental field have different or own specialization.
Reply:Hey, at least your not in England, they dont have dentists!
Reply:Dentists are a separate entity, doctors are controlled by the government, dentistry is considered cosmetic. I liked Steve O answer, at least we have dentists.
Reply:Yes, firstly your taxes will go up, up, up.
Secondly, dental treatment is very open to rorting by overservicing or poor quality. Just look at what happened in the UK under the NHS. It's very difficult to police.
Public health systems for the poorer members of the community (like we have in Australia) have long waiting lists, and have financial restraints such that treatment like RCTs, crowns just aren't offered. It's largely made up of emergency treatment, fillings, extractions, and ultimately plastic dentures.

Is there a way to get free or very low dental treatment costs in orlando or west palm beach, fl?
Try dental schools.
http://www.technical-schools-guide.com/f...
For information about reduced-cost dental treatment, contact your local dental school. Dental schools often have clinics that allow dental students to gain experience treating patients while providing care at a reduced cost. Experienced, licensed dentists closely supervise the students.

Where can a senior citizen get free or low cost dental work?
Dental care for seniors can be a costly expense. Most seniors cannot afford dental insurance and suffer because of it. By joining a dental plan seniors, 62 and over, can get affordable, discount dental care services from quality providers as low as $6.00/month. Additional resources for low cost or free dental care can be found on the links below
Where can a senior citizen get free or low cost dental work?
They can get certain dental insurance plans and use those at supporting dentists.
Reply:Depending on where (what state) you live, consider:
-community health centers as they often have dental clinics
-dental schools
Things to consider:
Many states offer dental care to folks who qualify for medicaid. Many clinics, including dental schools, offer a sliding scale for their fees.
Check out this website to find a community health center near you: http://ask.hrsa.gov/pc/
NOTE:
Even if they do not list dental, call the closet center and ask about dental care. I looked at states I know about and not all the information was there, so don't assume dental care isn't provided.
Reply:You should check with your local social work agency. They often have agencies that are geriatric related. Here in Michigan, for example, we have an agency called the Area agency for Aging and they supply a bunch of information on low cost services for the elderly. Good Luck!
Reply:Take a look at what I can offer, for one person it's only $11.95 a month. go to www.mybenefitsplus.com/bigsavings you could also save on vision, prescription and chiropractic.

Fidel Castro gave his people universal free healthcare, education and dental care. What did Bush do?
Bush cut student aid for needy college students
During the Bush years, the cost of health care has gone up over 30%
During the Bush years, gas has gone up over 120%, but wages have remained stagnant.
Bush has sent thousands of young men to die in a war started on false pretenses.

Reply:Fidel also arrests and tortures at will and the only "freedom" there is the freedom that Fidel allows. But I'm sure if you print your question and ask to become a Cuban citizen, they would allow you to. I'd be happy to see you go.
Reply:What are you kidding me? Have you ever read about Cuba's economy? Ever read about Cuba's police force since the great Castro has been in power? I always heard that people in America asked these questions, but I never thought I would see one. Pick up a history book.

Reply:We as a country say many leaders are bad and do horible things. Fidel Castro has done many bad things but he also has done positive things for his country. It is even our country and our scantions against them that causes a lot of harm to Cuba.
Bush hasn't done anything for this country except make people want to leave, and put our country in the worst situation ever. Hopefully we can get out of this situation, and soon.
Reply:The Coast Guard announced today that they would step up patrols between Florida and Cuba. There is concern that people will increase their efforts to LEAVE Cuba if Castro dies soon.
Cuba is not the paradise you think it is. It is a communist dictatorship ruled by a strong man. There has been no free change of government in 47 years. Free healthcare, education and dental care apparently are no substitute for plain old freedom.

Does anyone know of a free or low-cost dental clinic in the Palo Alto area?
There are two low-cost dental clinics operated by two dental schools in San Francisco (Palo Alto is near there I believe), at the University of California at San Francisco and at the University of the Pacific.
Hope this helps.
Does anyone know of a free or low-cost dental clinic in the Palo Alto area?
If your town or a near by town has a medical school or college there should be a dental school. They may charge a small fee or maybe be free. Check them out.

Why can Castro give Cuba free universal medical and dental and we cant even take care of our own?
Cuba even weathered last year's hurricanes better than America
Why can Castro give Cuba free universal medical and dental and we cant even take care of our own?
The American Medical Association has opposed universal health care for decades. The popular term "Socialized Medicine" was coined by an ad agency working for the AMA to make it sound like universal health care is a communist plot.
Further, it would offer benefits to regular people and increases taxes paid by businesses and rich folk, so the republicans oppose it.
In other words, the folks running this country are too greedy.
Reply:because his military is on full alert 24/7 so there wont be revolts and or attacks from the US
Reply:Because Americans are for the all mighty dollar. It isn't about health care, food or housing, If your not rich in this country your screwed. Worse of all the people let it happen. Out of Trillions of dollars, and a few goofs from the news, they have a cure for cancer, will anyone see it? No only the Rich.America is for the money not it's people.
Reply:If you call a bandaid and a cotton ball "universal healthcare" and can be happy with that, then I'll start a fundraiser to get you there to live out your life in the comfort and luxury of his healthcare system.
