I live in dreary, Erie, PA, and was just put on Disability. One of the first things I did was make a Dental appt. Disability told me it was covered.

Sometimes dental schools offer reduced rates and free cleanings on special days. You should call a few where you live and ask. You also may be able to find a clinic that offers free cleanings to people on disability. I'd check with you local epilepsy foundation chapter to see if they have any suggestions.
