Sliding scale dental clinics offer a flexible payment model for people seeking dental care. They’re for those who can’t afford dental care due to unemployment, underemployment, or a lack of health insurance.
The sliding scale model depends on each person’s income, family size, and how the clinic organizes its scale. Some clinics will accept patients regardless of their ability to pay.

Dental schools offer dental services at a lower cost because procedures are performed by dental students. They are constantly supervised by teaching dental professionals.
Some schools screen their patients to ensure they accept cases their students can handle. They may also offer dental services for free. However, some schools offer their services to members of their community only.
Non-profit dental clinics are run by volunteer dentists and other dental professionals. They get their funding from private or government organizations.
Their goal is to give underserved communities quality dental care. Their services are free or given at low costs.
