Anyone know how I can get free dental work?

Question

I got a major tooth ache in the back of my mouth. I cant afford to pay to have it fixed by a regular dentist, was wondering if any one knows any loop wholes in the system or if there are any low income places I can go to.

Thanks,
Doc

Answer 1

You can check at local colleges that have dental school and see if they'll do it.

Answer 2

Well, I know where you can get for free, your clothes, food, and all medical attention that you need. Join the Air Force! They'll even give you a handsome $$ bonus for just signing up.

Other than that, you will have to go to the welfare office and fill out their paper-work. If it's really severe, you can walk into the emergency room at a hospital. They can't turn you down. But it's a humiliating situation. One more thing that you can try is to walk in cold into a dentist office, and offer to clean up the place for a certain period of time, in exchange for tooth repair. What have you got to lose? You will have to become very creative in this case to achieve your goal.

Answer 3

There are low income dental places that will charge you on a sliding scare based on your income. I know of no places to get free dental, however you can go to a dental school and get big discounts on any work done there. Look in your phone directory for dental offices that accept medi-cal because they usually are also the sliding scale places. And there you also be a referal number listed for low income places. Do also a search on your computer for "low income dental" in your area.

Answer 4

Local dental colleges usually offer dental services at cut rates because the work is done by students that are supervised by instructors. The only hang-up is that the appointments are not very flexible and you can expect to blow your entire day for 30 minutes of work.

Answer 5

Dental schools usually offer treatments at a huge discount (some are 50% off). You might want to check the universities in your area.

Answer 6

Here in Britain it's hard enough to get a dentist. They cut people who are unemployed off there list, they started doing so when the Tories were in, and have continued with it. Glad I don't need them. Got nice teeth,

Answer 7

Answer 10

Please refer to the scene in "Castaway" wherein Tom Hanks successfully removed a molar tooth using a skate blade and a rock.

Look, don't mess with tooth pain and infection as the consequences can be drastic. You can't afford not to have it handled!
