Call the local Health Dept. and just ask about any dental clinics you might qualify under. Not all of the specifics are the same sometimes and you might find some help. I know you are hurting. If you can't get resolution there, NC isn't too far away and in Hendersonville, there is Blue Ridge Community Health Services which also has a dental clinic. The phone number is 828-692-4289 and ask for the dental office. They have payment by sliding scale which bases payment on your income. You might find it worth the drive up here to get peace in your mouth. Good luck!

I'm in the " no dental Ins. boat " like you. I am just getting over a abscessed tooth. Bite the bullet & pay the local dentist. A abcessed tooth infection can spread & cause death. Look into the Atlanta School of Denistry. They provide little to no cost dental work, including dentures. With receding gum disease your a ticking time bomb. Lot's of Luck ...

See if there is a dental school in your area. They will likely take you at little to no cost but you are taking your chances with untried students. Mostly these are not bad experiences.
