Call dental office: Check with the county health officials where you live to see if there is any community dental program that offers a sliding fee schedule for dental treatment. You might also try public health programs on your state's website and they might list any reduced fee clinics that are available. You can also call a local dental office and they might be able to give you this information as well.

Several choices: I believe present law allows your parents to carry you on their health plan until age 26, whether you reside with them or not. Dental is not part of traditional coverage for anyone, but is sometimes offered as is healthcare if you get a job or join the military. If none of these apply, sometimes you can seek care at a community clinic that offers care on a sliding scale.
