To help address unmet oral health needs of children and adults, Delta Dental of Missouri has released the latest version of its Dental Care Resource Guide. This online directory, available at https://www.deltadental.com/resourceguide, aims to help Missourians, who cannot afford dental care easily access information about free and low-cost dental care options available in their area.
The guide currently lists more than 140 dental clinics and programs offering low-cost dental care, nearly a dozen of which provide treatment completely free of charge to those who qualify. The guide is organized by geographical region throughout the state to help those in need find local care. Services vary by provider and can include dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings, crowns, root canals, bridges, extractions, dentures and partial dentures.
“Many Missourians face tremendous challenges in getting vital dental care,” said Stacy Harris, community outreach supervisor at Delta Dental Missouri. “As a nonprofit, we’re committed to helping children and adults access vital, life-changing dental care to improve their oral health, overall health and quality of life. Our latest guide has more resources than ever to help those in need find low-cost or free care, so they can get relief from a host of dental issues.”
Individuals using the guide should always call the listed providers to ensure eligibility, availability of services and whether an appointment is required. The guide also provides a link to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services website and its catalog of free or low-cost transportation services to assist Missourians with travel to and from medical appointments.
Delta Dental of Missouri would like to partner with other nonprofit organizations to help spread the word about these dental care resources. Those interested can send an email to Delta Dental of Missouri at charitablegiving@deltadentalmo.com.
