When I went to look for free dental care in Texas, the first thing I did was send an email to the Texas Dental Association.
What they did was forward my email to Texas Donated Dental Services, but I never heard back from them.
As a result, I started my search there…
Free Dental Care in Texas
Texas Donated Dental Services
According to their website…
Texas Donated Dental Services (TXDDS) is a charity dental program operated since November 2000. Developed by the National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped (NFDH), TXDDS uses volunteer dentists and labs to provide comprehensive dentistry to qualified individuals who cannot access care any other way.
The problem is that at the moment they are not accepting new applications due to the high demand.1
However, this wouldn’t stop me from recommending that you put the application in anyway.
They did, however, list a few other resources that may be of help that you can access here…
Texas HHSC
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission would be the next resource I would look at. Unfortunately, in looking at their website it is somewhat confusing so I would recommend contacting them with your specific inquiry in order t seek out help.
In addition, I would remind you to look at my “free dental care” page which lists national resources that are available for all Americans.
