We can't afford dental insurance and his teeth is bleeding and probably has a lot of cavities. His teeth is really crooked also but we don't have any money to afford a major fix up.
Are there any assistance out there or good dental insurance that will cover everything?

Most major urban areas have free or nearly free dental clinics serving the needy. These types of clinics will get a patient out of pain but won't do much in the way of treatment. Dental schools are a good way but again, they won't do the treatment entirely for free. Your best bet is to visit your local dentists and present your case to them. Tell them you can't afford treatment but are willing to ________________. I've done dental treatment in exchange for a number of products and services that the patient was willing to barter with; including sporting goods, cleaning services, haircuts, tailored clothing, plumbing, construction, etc. Most dentists have a big heart, they just don't want the patient to be the one who decides who gets the free dentistry.

I don't know about any insurance that covers everything, but I use a dental discount plan and for every dental service you pay a discounted price rather than full price. It helps save me money.....

JAMES,
ABOUT THE ONLY PLACES TO LOOK IN FOR YOU WOULD BE IN DENTAL SCHOOLS FOR THE MOST REASONABLE RATES AND BEST OUTCOME
IF MONEY IS A REAL PROBLEM CONSIDER TAKING IT ONE STEP AT TIME. BEGIN WITH THE GUMS FIRST, THEN THE CAVITIES, AND LEAVE THE CROOKED TEETH FOR LAST.
YOU NEED A SPECIAL TREATMENT PLAN THAT IS COMPREHENSIVE AND DEALS WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES FIRST, AND WHEN EVERYTHING IS HEALTHY, DEALS WITH THE COSMETIC OUTCOME LAST.

You could look for dental colleges in your area They offer the same services for a lot less.
