 Guide Aims to Connect Missourians to Free and Low-Cost Dental Care in Local Areas 

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (March 24, 2022) … To help address unmet oral health needs of children and adults, Delta Dental of Missouri – the state’s dental benefits leader and a non-profit organization – has released the latest version of its Dental Care Resource Guide. This online directory, available at www.DeltaDentalMO.com/ResourceGuide1, aims to help Missourians, who cannot afford dental care, easily access information about free and low-cost dental care options available in their area.

The Dental Care Resource Guide currently lists more than 135 dental clinics and programs offering low-cost dental care, as well as a dozen that provide treatment completely free of charge to those who qualify. The guide is organized by geographical regions throughout the state to help those in need find local care. Services vary by provider and can include dental exams, cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings, crowns, root canals, bridges, extractions, dentures and partial dentures. 

“Many Missourians face tremendous challenges in getting vital dental care,” said Rob Goren, president and chief executive officer at Delta Dental of Missouri. “As a non-profit, we’re committed to helping people live better lives through improved dental health. Our latest guide has more resources than ever to help those in need find low-cost or free care, so they can get relief from a variety of dental issues.”

Individuals using the guide should always call the listed providers to ensure eligibility, availability of services and whether an appointment is required. The Dental Care Resource Guide also provides a link to the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services website and its catalog of free or low-cost transportation services to assist Missourians with travel to and from medical appointments. 

Delta Dental of Missouri would like to partner with other non-profit organizations to help spread the word about these dental care resources. Those interested can send an email to Delta Dental of Missouri at CharitableGiving@deltadentalmo.com.
