Tra a dental school

If there's a dental school nearby, you may be able to get some free or very cheap dental work done. I live near a dental school and they are always looking for human guinea pigs to work on.
The downside is that the procedure might take longer (cuz a dentist in training is working on you) and they might not always do the very best work (but they should be competent).
Good luck.

If you are on disability, you might qualify for Donated Dental Services. Call your local or state dental association (under "American Dental Association" in the Yellow Pages) and see if there is a D.D.S. program in your area.

Is there a hopsital that's also a teaching hospital in the area? A friend of mine needed a TON of surgical work on his mouth and got it REALLY REALLY cheap by going to a university hospital in Chicago. Many schools will deeply discount the cost of procedures if you're willing to be worked on by students. My friend has a great smile now and he said he had a great experience.

If you are disabled you should qualify for an SSI check and if you do you qualify for a medical card, my mother is on disability.
But we are not from ky.
