Answer 1 :
This would be the best place you could go: Indiana University School of Dentistry 1121 West Michigan Street Indianapolis, IN 46202 (317) 274-7957
Answer 2 :
Just a warning when looking for a cheap dentist. You usually get what you pay for and this is especially true in dentistry. There is usually a reason why the doctor is doing work with little to no compensation and that reason is usually not because they are a saint. It might be better to pay a little more up front for dental work and know you are doing what is best for you then recieving free or low cost work and then having to pay somebody later to fix the 'free' work.
Answer 3 :
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.
Answer 4 :
Go to a dental school clinic. They normally only charge for the cost of materials. The dental students are supervised by a faculty member.
