Ever since my friend got his divorce hes been super depressed and just let himself go completely. All of his teeth are rotting and when we were out to eat the other day one of his front teeth actually just fell right out. Hes bummed and has no idea what to do because his job does not offer dental insurance. Can someone please tell me where he could go to get his teeth looked at since he has no insurance, also keep in mind he has a minimum wage job( he basically makes no money). Hes going to need his whole mouth done, maybe a dental school, or anywhere else? Its just really sad to watch this happen. Please help! Thanks.

He can buy an individual dental insurance. Google it, you will see a lot of agents that sell it in your area. It costs about $100 per year and not every doctor takes it, but it's far better than nothing. It doesn't cover everything, but it helps. I had one of those. The office was rather outdated, but they helped me to get by. The doctor was a bit odd and very old but competent, he didn't mess up my teeth.

A dental school may be able to help (the costs are less but not free). That being said, they may be able to send him to a clinic that will take weekly or monthly payments.
In the meantime, tell him to only eat soft foods, brush 2x a day and use a medicated mouthwash (OralMil ... pharamcy sells it).
