I need free dental work

hopesplace started this conversation

 

 

I am a 52 year old female that is living on $9.00 per hour with no insurance of any kind.  I have not been able to afford to go to a dentist for several years now and I am in danger of losing enough teeth that I won't be able to eat.  I don't want to lose my teeth and have spent a lot of years and money trying to take care of them.  I have had my wisdom teeth pulled and am in danger of losing the only other teeth I can use to chew food. The back teeth on both sides of my mouth in the bottom of my mouth have broken apart.  They had so much filling in them and now they are just pieces left.  I can not chew anything for fear of breaking them even more and being in constant pain.  I just need to have the massive fillings put back in my mouth for the time being.  I can not afford to have crowns at this time and I just want to be able to keep the teeth.  Can you please help me.

Good point. Local clinics may offer financial aid of some sort. Carefully look through the conditions prior to signing anything though. Take care and God bless.

I have the same problem and what I did is called my local dental clinic and found out that they have a financial aid program you can try that and see if it will work for you. its a program that is slightly different than Medicaid and supposedly this program will cover dental work ill be finding out on july 1 good luck

Hello, I know someone who recently had some gum work done. He had a receding gum and a periodontist performed a tissue graft to reinforce the tooth. Have you consulted with a specialist? If not, look for a free consultation - most dentist will offer a free consult. Take care and God bless.

The cleaning and tooth pulling are doable at most clinics. In additional the front partial might be doable as well. Take care and God bless.

I have been helping people for years with dental issues in part as a result of my own experiences and experiences shared by other friends. Find a local dentist that will offer a free evaluation (most will). If they ask for insurance, tell them you have money set aside. If they suspect you do not have the means to pay, they may not offer a free evaluation. Nonetheless, the evaluation will tell you what is needed and will arm you with great information. Reach out to nearby dental clinics and ask if they are seeing patients and let them know what is needed, etc. In addition, you might consider contacting a local or nearby university with a dental school. Many dental students need practice patients:). Take care and God bless.

Hello, I’m in need of help getting my teeth fixed. I have very low income with 2 kids to take care of. I can’t get a job, nobody wants to hire me cause I have no experience and I can only work mothers hours, then of course they see my front teeth and snub me. I hate asking for help but I am desperate. I want to get out of the living situation I am in and be in a better one. So I am asking for someone to please help me.
Thank you.

How much dental work do you need? Have you been recently evaluated? If not, you should be able to get a free evaluation. It's important to maintain your health with shakes for something similar. Take care and God Bless.

Great to hear that you have insurance. Having insurance is truly a set in the right direction. How much is your co-pay? Take care and God Bless.

Unfortunately, you are not alone. Eating is tough when you don't have teeth or have a mouth full of pain, but it is important put food in your body. A good option? Try to drink protein shakes. They taste good and are loaded with a bunch of good stuff for the body. Take care and God Bless.

I'm starving, no money and it's impossible to eat most foods anymore.

I have terrible teeth, hardly any teeth left, and what's left is loose, gums inflamed, lots of bone loss, the worst teeth in the world. No money, need help, I'm in Los Angeles, CA.
