More info needed..: We have no clue where you are posting from. Contact your local or state dental society for dentists in your locale. If insured, contact your insurance carrier for participants. If on public assistance, contact dept of social services. If near a hospital with a dental dept, see if their clinic is open. Start making phone calls to nearby offices.
