Are there any grants out there for dental work? I'm a single mom with a full time job, and in school. I have major dental needs including needing my wisdom teeth out! My dental insurance only covers 1,000 a year which I go through fast! I need help!

I have a web site dedicated to helping people find affordable dental care and I've never heard of "grants" or vouchers for people seeking financial help paying for their dental care. Our dental care system just doesn't work like that.
However, there are dental clinics that you can go to that provid adequate dental care at little or no cost; the only drawback being you may have to wait several weeks before you can be seen. In addition, dental clinics do not perform any dental procedure that would be considered "cosmetic" in nature such as root canals, bridge work, braces, teeth whightning etc.
I hope this helps.

There are public service type grants where you would have to work a few years in an underserved area. Also, the military is another option. I personally took advantage of low interest loans. But when I went to dental school the cost was so much lower.

No one is going to give you money for dental work. There are many financing companies that dentists offer to help people afford their treatment. some even have intrest free financing for a limited time, and low 9.9 apr after that. Well good luck. http://www.carecredit.com

It's your responsibility, your out-of-pocket expense.
If there is a dental school in your city you can get low-cost dental work.
If you live in NYC, go to the dental school here.
