I am looking for a Dentist who works with Chemo patients for a discounted rate. Any suggestions?

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.

Failing that...

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.

If worse comes to worse, check out http://www.prosper.com/ and see if you can find a funding source.

Universities would love to have you! Find your nearest dental school, you would very probably have an already qualified dentist doing the work...there is a big area of research on irradiated teeth etc, i.e. seeing as you have undergone chemo. So you may be able to get the work done for free, but they may want a little something off you if you know what i mean. Obviously it wouldn't be detrimental to you.

I've been where you are; I wish you the best of luck! Anyway, you'd go much farther asking your oncologist or hospital social worker for a referal. Most dentists located by a hospital which offers chemotherapy/radiation treatments work in close contact with the oncologists, since chemo patients have such special needs. I'm sure your doctor can recommend somebody! Only, when he does, make sure that your insurance recognises this dentist as part of their network: You could wind up saving yourself tons of money with this step alone.

The very best of luck to you!
