Compassion: Maybe your dentist is just being very compassionate. Many physicians and dentists will see people despite the fact that they don't get paid just out of a sense of compassion and social responsibility.

He may be generous: Almost every dentist does some charity care - often it is the very best dentists who have plenty of patients able to pay that gives her/him resources necessary to take some with no money. Good for you! poor quality dentists are often struggling so much that they can't afford to do charity care.
