DENTAL HELP IN NORTH CAROLINA

Safety Net Dental Clinics in North Carolina

Across North Carolina, there now are more than 75 dental clinics dedicated to serving low-income patients who have limited access to dental care. This number is close to three times the number of facilities that existed in the early 1990s. Typically, these clinics are operated by local public health departments, community health centers, or other non-profit organizations. Most of these clinics accept patients enrolled in Medicaid or Health Choice. Many of these clinics also provide services on a sliding-fee scale to low-income patients who have no dental insurance. These Safety Net Dental Clinics are located in most counties in the state. If there is not a local Safety Net Dental Clinic in your area, contact your county health department for information on available resources. Also, the North Carolina Community Health Center Association (NCCHCA) maintains a list of community health centers operating in North Carolina. Contact the community health center nearest you to find out if they provide dental care.

I despreately need dental work done. I have to have several teeth pulled due to infection, and I don't have a job, nor do I qualify for Medicaid. I live in Guilford County (High Point), NC and I'm getting tired of having to get the runaround. every place that I call either says call this number or that, or we're not taking any new patients, etc. I had to go to the ER yesterday just to be able to get pain medication and antibiotics for my infected teeth. Like I said, I have no income and do not qualify for Medicaid at all, and can't afford to wait around much longer because I'm afraid that the infection will get worse and make me sick.
if anyone has any suggestions that would help!!! Thanx.

I'm in excruciating pain! I thought I had a bad sinus infection. That's been ruled out. So it looks like the pain is coming from my teeth. The only thing that helps the pain is Predisone. I'm on disability (very low income) and don't have Medicaid or dental insurance. My credit is horrible and I have no idea where to turn. I live in Raleigh, NC. Any help would be most appreciated.

My husband is so self conscious of his teeth. He is a wonderful person and we would love to be able to get his teeth fixed. He needs all his top teeth pulled and dentures. We do have dental insurance but it isn't very good and would not cover everything that he needs done. We are looking for a place for low income families in or around Rowan Co. that will take his insurance but we we can't afford to pay the co pay or anything extra that his insurance does not cover. Anyone that could give assistance or information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 in response to seekinhelp...   I just know of a free dentist clinic in Asheville (Buncombe County). But you have to be a resident in the county. It is a Christian organization, so try talking to someone at a church or at your church if you go to one. I found the clinic on google when looking for a doctor that excepts people with no insurance. Also, cops have to work with a lot of homeless people, they know about a lot of stuff like that. I always ask them if someone needs help, and I'm not sure about something. I'm sorry I can't help more. And that sounds horrible, so I am sure Someone Will help you. Christians love projects, so that'd be my first stop. Good Luck!

 in response to closs...   Yipes, I hate that you just missed the Raleigh free dental event, but there will be more. Go to the link below to see a schedule of free dental clinic events. Also, not sure I understand your situation. Are you saying you do not have the money for your co-pay?

Looking for a dentist in Raleigh NC or close by that will bill me directly and allow payments to be made directly to the dentist. I have insurance but everywhere I call, they say I would pay my part at time of visit or I have to get hooked up with a credit company which is not an option for me. Help anyone.
