Florida, dental help, badly needed

Question

Are there any philanthropists, dentists, kind-hearted persons, anyone that can help me to get somewhere to get dental help? I am 39 years, pain is almost all the time, can hardly eat, hardly sleep, no self-esteem, no job because of the way my mouth looks. I've even had a physician look at me and say, "OMG! You need to see a dentist!" I told him I can't afford one and he didn't provide any type of referral or ideas. I really don't know what to do anymore. I've tried welfare office (NO), tried to get credit (NO), and I've tried dept of children and families (NO-I'm not married nore do I have kids). HELP!

Answer 1

There is no help for people with dental problems in FL.  I understand, I also live in FL and have no way to get my teeth fixed.  I don't know why your teeth hurt, but if it is an abscess maybe you could at least get an antibiotic.  That would help with that kind of pain.

Answer 2

You can always try to find a Dental School in your area.  Most dental schools will allow their students to actually treat patients at a greatly discounted, or sometimes free rate.

You don't have to worry about having an inexperienced person doing your dental work.  All procedures are done under the watch full eye of an instructor, or an actual licensed dentist.

I hope this helps you out a little.  Also, I hope you are able to get that dental work done soon!

Take care,

It sounds like insurance or government assistance may not be an option for you, I understand your situation. I went several years without health or dental coverage. Another option for you is a discount dental program, which gives you a savings on what you would pay out of pocket. Its available in your area, you can take a look at www.mybenefitsplus.com/trhonda2000 for details.
