Free or low cost dental care in Pennsylvania.?

I don't have insurance and I think I have a cavity. I want to get it filled before it gets worse. According to the Department of Public Welfare website, we should be eligible for medical assistance, etc, but we can't get approved. Anyway, I want to know if anyone knows how I can get some help with dental care. All of the dental clinics and dental universities are too far away from me. Thank You. ***Please don't give me stupid, cocky answers***

The two options i think you ought to try are... 1. Dental Schools. 2. Discount Dental Plans. There is no deductible. They are very inexpensive to join. You are automatically approved, and most start right away, (i know for sure the one at www.1dental.com does for sure). Given your situation i would recommend looking at a discount plan, because you should have quite a few different options for dentists, instead of just schools. Just on a dental discount plan make sure that the prices are pre negotiated and the dentists have agreed to those prices listed on their website (some negotiate prices differently for all dental offices). Again given your situation, i would check out 1dental, mainly because they have the monthly option which is just 6.95 a month, and it does start right away and and the prices are the same for all of their general dentists. Another one i have heard good things about is the aetna. Just check out those discount plans, but also check out universities nearby. Hope that helps. *edit: If you are going to ASPEN DENTAL be sure to get the discount plan before they do proceedures outside of the ones you are getting for free. I know for a fact they take the Careington 500 Plan available at 1Dental.com, and a lot of the savings on procedures are around 50% or more.
