How to Get Dental Discounts When You Don’t Have Dental Insurance.

If you’ve been putting off a trip to the dentist, you’re not alone.
More than one-third of adults in the United States who have higher incomes and 67 percent of low-income adults didn’t make a regular dental checkup last year, according to one study. The reason? They couldn’t afford it.
The lack of affordable dental care affects everyone, regardless of age. Nearly half of Americans who are age 65 years and older didn’t visit the dentist last year. One of the primary reasons is that Medicare doesn’t cover routine dental services or most dental procedures.
This can be frustrating, especially for families who know that regular dental checkups can prevent many major oral health problems.
Here are some ideas on how to get discounts on dental care:
Pay up front. If you pay for your dental services ahead of time, it means your dentist doesn’t have to go through the hassle of billing you or starting you on a payment plan. Some dentists will cut you a deal if you don’t have dental insurance, but you’ll have to shop around to find out which dental offices offer discounted services.
Contact your local United Way. United Way chapters throughout the country may be able to refer you to community-based dental services offered free or at low-cost for families that meet a certain low income criteria.  find your local United Way chapter.
