While many Americans receive dental benefits through work or government assistance, we know that does not apply to everyone. If dental insurance is not an option for you, there are various resources at hand. These options may include non-profit clinics, public health departments, and dental schools. Another option available is payment plans. Some dentists can accommodate patients without dental insurance by allowing monthly payments, rather than paying everything up front. If payment plans are not an option at your dentist's office, there may be free or low-cost clinics nearby. Learn more in our blog article, "See a Dentist Without Insurance: Learn Your Options."
