With more than 40,000 people in greater Lansing who cannot afford regular oral health care, dental issues become extreme and often require a patient to visit local emergency rooms…where medical staff can only prescribe pain medicine and antibiotics, not treat the root of the problem.
Care Free Dental attempts to prevent these expensive ER visits by offering low-cost preventive hygiene care and monthly extraction clinics through a compassionate group of volunteer dentists along with one part-time paid dentist. While we can schedule hygiene visits in just a few weeks, more extensive dental care (such as fillings and extractions) can take longer.
