What’s inside
Built from the guides our navigators use every day
This free guide pulls straight from MBHA’s own Healthcare Quick Guide library — it tells you exactly where to look for clinics, dental care, prescription help and more across Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties.
A preview — 5 ways to find free & low-cost dental services:
- Dental schools and hygiene programs — reduced-cost, supervised care
- Community clinics with dental programs — sliding scale
- Nonprofit dental events and pop-up clinics
- Local public health dental resources — county programs, where available
- Discount dental plans and negotiated-fee networks — not insurance, but often lower cost
