I need allot of dental work ( most teeth broken off down to the gum line)How can I get help with no money?

Question

I can not chew my food any more and my face swells up often.This not being fixed can cause alot of other health problems that are very serious.

Answer 1

Check with the dental schools in your area - when I was in college I had a lot of work done by students. They did a really good job. They may charge something, but it will be way cheaper than a regular dentist and they usually take payments when they set you up on a schedule.

Good luck.

Answer 2

It's good that you understand that it's your teeth being broken down, with abscesses causing the pain and swelling that you've experienced, that is also causing your physical health to be poor. You are correct in your thinking and also need to be on antibiotics to help your body fight off the infection from the teeth that are abscessed. Most people don't realize the importance of their teeth; it's where digestion starts to take place when you chew your food. In your case, with most of the teeth broken off to the gum line, it's unlikely that these can be saved. If possible they would need root canals and crowns on each one. That can add up to about $1500.00 per tooth. Ok, so you need some help. The first thing you need is an exam to determine what needs to be extracted and how to fix the ones that are restorable, then what do you need to replace the ones you've lost. Some people get good results from places like Affordable Dentures or Reasonable Dentures. If the teeth can be saved they will tell you. These places are reasonable on extractions and dentures if that’s what you need. They won't remove any teeth that are restorable unless you want them removed. It would be a starting place for you. Or you can call dental offices or a dental referral office in your area, and tell them your situation and ask who or if anyone takes a payment plan. You may even want to try your Church. Our office does several cases each year at no charge, for people in unforeseeable situations that have left them in a financial bind and they are usually refered by their Church to us. So if you need help there are options out there, you just have to do some foot work, and ask for help. The latter, being the hardest thing to do I'm sure. There is always a time in everyones life when they need help, so don't feel that you're alone. I hope I've been of some help with this and good luck with your plight. I'm sure you will find the help you need.

Answer 3

Yes, you're right, having abcesses in your teeth can cause other problems in your body, because of the infection in your mouth. Check in your area for services for low income people, I live in the Eugene, Oregon area, and they have a service through White Bird, you still had to pay, but far far less than a standard dentist. Unfortunately, the dentist there has left and they haven't been able to replace him. Anyway, check those services, they may be able to offer some help. Good luck.

Try to get medicaid. Go to a dental school. Or call your states dental society to see if they know of any volunteer dental program.
