I think you should post this list once every day. So many of the people coming here are asking for exactly this information. Yes, HM is right in saying that there can be problems with obtaining cheap or free care, but I think (hope) many people understand this is just part of the deal.
Reply:Thanks for all of that free info! But none of those are anywhere near where I live. Oh, well. You have probably helped somebody find a good dentist today. I am fine with my dentist though. But will consider this if a problem arises.





I don't know any good links though, sorry.
Reply:The problem with places like this is that you get what you pay for. I have had so many patients want to get the cheapest dental work that they could, and then in a year or two they come back in complaining that their crown came off, their root canal failed, their denture didn't fit. It someone goes into it knowing that cheap or free dental work may back fire on them, then these places are fine, but they need to be made aware of the bad side of these places.
Reply:GREAT JOB on the info.I think the dentist's and the clinical staff that provide these type of services are doing a remarkable job most of them do it on a volunteer bases and should be commended for the work they do.
