I need to go see a dentist bad, with no health insurance, little money, is there a thing as free dental care?
I live in california
find a local university or community college that has a dental program. they offer cleanings and some minor repairs. problem is it will take longer, and they are still learning so screw-ups are possible.
I would also suggest calling all dentists in your area. some of them will allow you to make monthly payments. I had to get 2 pulled a while back- no insurance, i make too much money for gov't assistance, but a $300 dental bill would have killed me and my kids. I found a really great dentist who let me pay him $10/month. It was really quite amazing.
I also remember, from back when i was little that my church had a free dental day, where a couple of the dentists who attended would get together to help members in need. You may try that route as well.
good luck to you.

Free dental care? Your best bet is the University in your area. You will likely need to pay something (usually covering the cost of supplies) - but it is far less than conventional dentistry. The drawback is plan to be there a long time. The student does a little bit - the professor checks it - they do a little bit more - etc. So take the normal time you'd be in the chair and times that by 4.
It also wouldn't hurt to check out the local dentistry associations website. Find a number and give them a call. They should know if anything exists in your area. Sometimes dentists will get together for a day of charity work.
Good luck
