Free dental clinic in Triangle?

[RaleighRunner]

keep up with the schedule at NCdental.org

they just had a free clinic in asheville.

the clinics they hold travel all around the state. its a very good opportunity for people to use their services. but be prepared to stand in line.

Why a dental clinic for hypertension meds??

Would it not be easier to look for a medical clinic of some sort?

Though, in truth, if it were my parents? I'd call my doctor's office and ask what the best route would be.

Yes I don't think a dentist is going to be much help for getting hypertension medication.

I also recommend the online pharmacy route if you know exactly what medication they take. My husband does this for his asthma medication as it's cheaper than getting the prescription filled here since his insurance won't cover the type of medication he takes.

They still do. Links on how to become a patient:

UNC School of Dentistry

Costs are about 1/3rd of what you'd see in private practice.

I think the problem is that this person does not HAVE a prescription. So it will be hard to get a legitimate online pharmacy to send the drugs.
