I have seen someone post about states to get free or reduced dental care but can't find all of the wonderful information that was shown.

If you live in a expanded medicaid state, check your state's medicaid program to see if they provide dental. If not, sign up for a dental savings plan. It's not insurance but a different fee schedule. It can greatly reduce the cost. Here's one.

Many Medicare advantage plans include dental coverage.

Check dental schools in your area if you are in a city of any size as well.

I don't know but I asked my dentist to help my dad on the price and he gave him a huge discount.

Can't hurt to ask a dentist for a discount. I recommend one that is busy, more likely to afford giving steep discounts.

Google dental discounts.

I don't know about your state but here in Fl, if you go to one of the dental schools, they have a program that one can apply to, used as training for students.

If you are on Medicaid then Iowa Medicaid has a dental plan that will help pay for dentures but they won’t be free. Dental schools will perform work at a discount but again no free dentures. Good luck!

What kind of insurance does the person have?

If Medicaid, I would go to your state’s website and review what dental services are paid by Medicaid.

Medicare generally does not cover dental work.

You may find that at times county governments or dental offices have free clinics once or twice a year but I have heard the wait time can be long even on the free clinic day. Google your county ‘s Dept of Health to see if these clinics are available.

Dentalwork is darned expensive. Again, review your policy to assess if you have any dental coverage. Often what dental insurance covers is often not nearly enough but it’s something.

If you have a University with a dental program nearby, check for these events and you may get a discounted rate for procedures but may not be totally free. And a long waiting list.
