Before I became a Vista, I naively hoped that the health benefits provided to us would include dental care. Thus, I put off getting my teeth cleaned and checked until when I thought my time of lacking insurance would be over.

At this point I haven't been to the dentist in a while, so when I recently read an article called A survival guide for the uninsured (containing such cheerful news as "The more than 45 million Americans without coverage will get sick more, earn less and die earlier than those with insurance") the best piece of info I got from it was the idea to try to find cheap dental care at dental schools.
