Does anyone know where I can get dental assistance? My teeth are in really bad shape and I have no funds to get them taken care of. I have 4 kids and income in ok but not enough to afford the dental care I need. According to what aid there is out there say that Salud Dental clinic I earn above the minimum wage so I don't qualify for aid. So what does that mean? Does it mean that I lose my teeth when I can't afford to have dental care for myself. I care for my kids and have been a single mom for 13 years! Any ideas?

HELLO LIBBY,
YOU ARE NOT ALONE OUT THERE. MANY FOLKS MAKE OVER THE AMOUNT TO QUALIFY FOR PUBLIC AID.
YOUR BEST CHOICE IS TO LOOK FOR CARE AT A DENTAL SCHOOL WHERE PRICES ARE MORE REASONABLE OR YOU MAY WISH TO APPLY FOR CARE CREDIT TO BE ABLE TO FINANCE YOUR DENTAL CARE.
ANOTHER OPTION IS TO SPEAK WITH THE DENTAL OFFICE MANAGER AND EXPLAIN YOUR EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES AND SEE IF AN ARRANGEMENT CAN BE MADE.

Some dental clinics offer reduced dental treatment fees based on your income... the Social Services Department in your area will know where they are..........call them and find out.
Best of luck to you~

Check with your local charity groups -- Lions Club, churches, missions -- and see if they might know of services available.
