health insurance jacksonville florida

Anyone from Jacksonville, Florida?
My family is moving to Jax the beginning of November, and I will have absolutely no health insurance when we get there, beside the very limited health care I have through the VA, and I desperately need dental work done, about $5,000 worth, to be exact, and I need it done SOON. I've been told there's a dental college there that will do work for free, anyone know about that? I'm sure getting temporary health insurance from the county will take forever, and we don't have any jobs lined up for us in Jax, so we will be low-income until we find employment. Anyone have any ideas?
Well...I found this list of Human Resources, etc. that seem somewhat promising to provide discounted dental care. http://www.doh.state.fl.us/Family/dental/resources/county/Duval.pdf But, you are right-- an actual Dental School would be your best bet for satisfactory and affordable care. UF College of Dentistry in Jacksonville has good patient ratings. http://www.hscj.ufl.edu/dentistry/contact.asp , I would give that a try. I was a Dental student at one time, and we ran a very professional clinic and all of the patients were always thrilled with the work and pricing.
