This is a SLIDING SCALE clinic. The costs for clinic services are based on either your income or they offer type of financial assistance. Contact the clinic directly to discuss prices for individual services which vary. Sliding Scale does not necessarily mean free.
Your Mobile County Health Department offers dental care, teeth cleaning and treatment services for children from 1 year to 20 years old and qualifying adults.
Offer a Sliding Scale Fee Program to patients that can reduce the cost of your care. If your household income qualifies, your fees will be reduced on a sliding scale based on your application and proof of income.

Many communities have clinics that charge little or nothing for dental care. They are usually run by nonprofits, community health centers, dental schools and local health departments, and they often rely on grants, donations and public funding. Some serve everyone on a sliding fee scale, while others focus on children, seniors or people without insurance. Every clinic sets its own rules, so call ahead and ask what you qualify for.
