How to get discounted, free dental services.
Access to discounted or free dental care is a monumental problem in the United States. More than 50% of the population do not have dental insurance and state agencies have limited benefits to children. Therefore, if one has a broken tooth or needs a tooth repair, dental treatment can end up costing thousands of dollars!
In Sacramento, CA., one can get free cleanings, and screenings at the local hygiene school and discounted dentistry at several county agencies. Some dentists do pro bono work as well.
Below is a list of resources in Sacramento county for dental services.
