An anonymous caregiver asked...
My mom has Medicare and Medicaid, neither of which covers dentistry (except for extractions). Is there any place she can get low-cost dental treatment in Phoenix, Arizona?

Boy, you're not alone. Finding low-cost dental care is tough anywhere.I'm going to suggest you do a quick internet search with the terms "low cost" and "dental care" See also:
How can I cover my medical care expenses?

See all 445 questions about Medicaid Basics
and Phoenix. I just did this and came up with several sources. Here are a couple:

The A. T. Still University Dental Clinic

John C. Lincoln Hospitals

I don't know details about either of these places, but they look legitimate. If they can't provide care, they very well may be able to refer you to who can.

I'd also try the U.S. Government's Eldercare Locator; an on-line (or phone) service that connects you with the Local Area Agency on Aging in the region you want. The Local Area on Aging can make referrals to senior services in Phoenix, including for dental care. Best of luck.
