Your way to a healthy smile

Dental OPTIONS is a program that links people with dentists or dental clinics where they can receive dental care for reduced fees. Dentists throughout the state volunteer to provide dental care at reduced fees to qualifying people of all ages who are residents of Ohio, low-income, medically, mentally or physically challenged, and who do not have dental insurance or qualify for Medicaid.

If you'd like to apply for assistance through the Dental OPTIONS Program you may print the attached Dental OPTIONS application. Please complete, sign and return the form by fax or mail with complete financial information, including proof of income.

Once your application is received, a Referral Coordinator will call you and discuss your eligibility. At this time, you may be referred to other sources of dental care you are eligible for.

If you qualify for the Dental OPTIONS Program, you will receive a letter of acceptance. You may be placed on the waiting list, depending on the available number of volunteer dentists in your area. After you are matched with a dentist you will receive a letter giving you the name of your dentist. It is your responsibility to call for an appointment. Your first appointment will be for an examination. After your first examination final acceptance into the Dental OPTIONS Program will be made.

If you're unable to print the attached application or have additional questions, please contact options@firstlink.org or call 1-888-765-6789.
