Up north, you can check out UMDNJ. http://dentalschool.umdnj.edu/
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.
If you are a senior citizen, call your local Area Agency on Aging or Office on Aging. If you can not find a listing in your local phone book on the County Government pages (usually marked with blue borders), call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the Area Agency on Aging serving you.
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.
If worse comes to worse, check out http://www.prosper.com and see if you can find a funding source.
I would talk to some local dentists and see if they are willing to set up an easy payment plan with you. You might be surprised to find that there are a number of dentists out there who are willing to do this. Also, if you tell them that you do not have dental insurance they might lower their rates for you. It doesn't hurt to ask.
Be careful if you go to a dental school, I heard they sometimes charge more for procedures than a private practice dentist. Make sure you get estimates from a few dentists before you make your decision. Don't just assume they are cheaper because it's done by students.
