I experienced a Traumatic Brain Injury on 6/28/00 due to my car being crushed by a Semi. Social Security Disability does not cover dental insurance.
Health Insurance discontinuing in a couple weeks. Please find dental insurance for me.?
If you are on SSI, you may qualify for dental services through Medicaid in your state.
Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.
Call your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.
Your local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic. In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."
Go to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.
Check http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.
Check http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.
Check http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program. D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems. This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you. Not all states have D.D.S. programs.
Reply:You should contact your county's Department of Health or Department of Social Services. If you are unemployed and on SSD, they will get you in to see a dentist.
Reply:I believe that someone else may be posting this question for Ron. Medi-Cal/Medicaid offers dental coverage. Apply for it and as well COBRA. Is Ron currently in a facility? You can e-mail me at nurselmh@sbcglobal.net
Reply:Visit the dentist now if you have insurance still then. After that visit local colleges that have dental clinics, cheap, great care.
