Call local dentist and ask if they have a sliding fee program or know of a dentist that does, based on your income you will only have to pay 10%-50%, if you're unemployed you'd more than likely pay 10%.

In Anaheim you are near the University of California Los Angeles Dental School. Go to http://www.dent.ucla.edu/PatientCare/index.asp for information on how to become a patient there.

Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.
Call your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.
Your local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic. In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."
Go to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.
If you are a senior citizen, call your local Area Agency on Aging or Office on Aging. If you can not find a listing in your local phone book on the "County Government" pages (usually marked with blue borders), call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the Area Agency on Aging serving you.
Check http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.
Check http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.
Check http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program. D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems. This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you. Not all states have D.D.S. programs.
If worse comes to worse, check out http://www.prosper.com and see if you can find a funding source.

Most dentists will help you by setting up a payment plan, depending on your work to be done it can still get expensive. Go to this website www.AffordableDental4all.com the price is right $11.95 per month you save up to 80% on everything the dentist does and ask them, they should work with you on a payment plan.

Why not start by visiting http://www.spb.ca.gov and look for job "Exam Bulletins" then search 'Exams by Department' and then look for departments with "Rehabilitation" in their names.
The SPB is the State Personnel Board for the state of CA. Exam Bulletins change on a "Daily" basis. Good Luck! :))

if you have a "division of vocational rehab"in your city.(a div.of secondary education,they will pay for the teeth and provide you training to get a job,just tell them you need your teeth fixed because,the pain is bad enough to make you unemployable.
