I love my boyfriend very much but his teeth are horrid. About 8 are missing, he has only 1 front tooth, some are cracked, some are blackened, some are twisted, one of his wisdom teeth has a crown missing. He has had several abcesses around different spots of his gums. He gums are black and very weak. He doesnt know where to start to get his teeth fixed. When he last went to the dentist the dentist told him he needed at least $15,000 to fix his whole mouth and my boyfriend doesn't have that kind of money. He asked could i possibly add him on to my dental insurance which i am unsure of and i cant do that till the next benefits enrollment date which is in january. Other than that he has no other alternatives. Any suggestions?

I don't know where you live but in the US there are dental clinics that treat patients based on their ability to pay ie a sliding scale, or sometimes free. Sometimes they are associated with a University Medical Center. Check with your local community services office. Some places have a Public Health Information Line that has a Dental Health Referral number. Check your phone book government listings.

adverse baby. you ought to look on-line for this stuff (i'm able to't keep in techniques what they are noted as) yet they are those trays that you install your mouth to close gaps between teeth. once you discover them, look and word in the adventure that they promote them the position you stay. And did you ever evaluate getting a job and determining to purchase the braces your self? i imagine in case you probably did that it would educate your mom and father how undesirable you don't like your teeth, and perchance they might comprehend they were incorrect and would really help you pay for them. it ought to ensue. At my orthodontist you purely had to make a month-to-month price of about $100 and ten-100 and fifty. it would take many years to repay although the outcomes will be superb! solid success! wish i helped!!

See if there is a dental school in your area. They will usually do work at a very low cost as they use it to train future dentists.
Otherwise, dentures would be the best option.
Good luck

Sounds like dentures are his best bet. Also, you are not going to be able to add your boyfriend to your dental insurance.

Maybe he could find a cosmetic dentist who will the do the work on credit. I.E., he pays monthly installments.

Sounds like the best thing for him would be to have them taken out and fitted with dentures

You'll have to marry to him to put him on your insurance, or if you two have lived together more than seven years, your considered common law and could put him on your insurance.
