I don't believe a crown is what you're looking for. Crowns are to repair broken or otherwise damaged teeth. If you have a tooth that's sticking out, or otherwise out of alignment and a gap in your teeth, only braces can correct that. You can see a dentist and let them know that the tooth hurts your gums. The dentist can advise what your options are.

I don't know which country you're in but going to assume Australia as I've got to this page via Yahoo.com.au. In which case, I don't think there is any free dental care in Australia at all.
If you are in the UK then you may be able to get free or heavily-subsidised dental care if you get an NHS dentist.

dream on sarah. Floss is cheaper than a crown and no one does something for nothing. Unless you find a dentist who will trade sex for a crown............But then, is even that really "free"?

You would have more of a chance of getting the democrats to abolish taxes.
