Can anyone help? I am on my own again after a run of many yrs being homeless and abused. I have not had any money or insurance my whole life (been on my own since I was 14 due to a crazy step-father who attacked me) Now as a single mommy at 42, I took a jump out on my own with NOTHING. I just started a good quality respectable job and starting to put my life together before its too late.
Just for the record I have NEVER done any kind of drug, NEVER been in any trouble, and do alot of volunteer work and am a christian. So please dont make assumptions of me being some sort of trash or looser.
I am very selfconcious of my teeth and its really hurting my selfesteem. I am fighting so hard to be self sufficiant and change my life and my teeth are one of the things holding me back. I have googled and researched to no end. Is there something I am not finding? Can anyone help me. I am located in Chattanooga TN. Thank in advance if anyone can help-

In addition to my earlier post I forgot to mention that 3 of my teeth are broke in the back and getting infected and I am in a lot of pain. They are yellowish and very sensitive all around. I brush constantly and try to eat pretty healthy but lacking dental attention and age has really taken its tole. Not to mention my nutritional deficiencies.

I have been to three dentist in my town and can't get any help because my insurance only pays a fraction of the cost of what dentures and extraction cost. I am sick every day because of my mouth. I was told by the dentists i did see that this may affect my heart, and she still would not work with me, also because i could not get care credit financing.I have dental insurance but it only pays 1,200$ and the work that needs to be done cost 5,000. I have no money and don't know where to turn. I have been looking for a dentist to help me in my city for 2 years. Can i get some one out there to pray for me?

you are in my prayers

oo.. i mean Cool environment..
beg my pardon on saying hostile :D

What a wonderful help for the community. Whoever these dentists are, they sure have hearts of gold; to do something so charitable. If I lived in the area I would have tried attending; I wish they would do something like this closer to where I live. http://www.bouldindds.com

Please could someone help my daughter? She lost her job and has an infected wisdom tooth. I am trying to help her get antibiotics, but the tooth needs pulling and she has absolutelly no money and no insurance.

----------
If you can get her to a Doctor or Dentist about the infection.
Publix has many Totally Free Antibiotics such as "Keflex" etc...
Jus tell the Dentist or Doctor that you need help getting it and
ask them if they could prescribe a Script for a Free Antibiotic
at Publix's has. They know which ones are free there. You may have to pay $1.00 or $2.00 depends... Hope that helps some..

p.s. My wife had one pulled for $25.00 at the
Pasco Co. Health Dept. in May 2010. But a very long wait!!
----------

My neighbor had all of his teeth extracted.
The oral surgeon put him on an immediate diet of peanut brittle, salt water taffy, onion rings, and well-buttered corn-on-the-cob until his gums healed in about 6-7 weeks.
The surgeon has since left for parts unknown.

Hi everyone, I am a 49 yr old male in constant pain because of my teeth, unable to sleep, eat or smile. I have been unable to find a job because of the apperance of my teeth, I work in sales. I now work at a temp agency for minimum wage and have been unable to find a free dentist. I only work part time and was barely able to keep a roof over my head, but the pain is so bad now that I have decided to move onto the streets and save every penny for dental care. It is scarey out here but until I get my teeth fixed. My question is why can a person get free medical care for minor things that do not really matter, but for dental even when it is sooooooo bad that it makes someone sick everyday of their lives it can't be found? Is there any Dentist out thetre who will hel[p the poor? It is a sad state of our times, when the poor have to choose between a roof over their head or paying a dentist, to get help.

Funny how nobody ever reads....

Everybody just looks at everybody else posts and assumes someone is actually reading this and will contact them to offer dental work..... sorry.....lol
