yeah, I have heard of that program too. Alot of dentist are forming groups also to offer low cost dental care as it is so needed. Also, I used to live in Philly and at Temple Univ they have a dental school and they offer low cost dental care. You could also check that out. I would call medicaid or the welfare office in your area to see what info you could get from them. Or google your area and low income/low cost dental care and see what pops up. Can't hurt...
I dont know where you live, but, if you call your local wic office, they have dentist that are on a sliding scale program. I have used it and it is great, they just started opening new offices to serve more people because its in high demand and were not taking new patients except on a emergency basis. Try this and even if you have to wait, it is worth it. As you know, your teeth are very important, I hope this helps,,, Good luck,, Peace, G
