My teeth are literally falling out! How can you get dental work done w/ no insurance and very little money?

Question

Ok, I'm really hoping someone can help me with this one. To start, I haven't been to a dentist since I was like 18 and i'm 25 now. I've been through multiple pregnancy's which as you know affects your teeth tremendously b/c it takes out calcium. I can hardly eat most foods b/c I'm mostly in pain everyday and also scared of my teeth chipping more or worse falling out. I haven't been since 18 b/c that's when my insurance stopped. This is really affecting my everyday life and I'm afraid for my health b/c bad teeth can cause heart attacks and stroke. And not to mention is doing a number on my self esteem, I'm scared to smile. I'm pretty sure that i'll just have to get all of them extracted and get dentures, but when I look into it, the prices are way out of my budget. Does anybody know what I can do?

look in the phone book:is there a Med.school in your area or a Dental school/college?

They do treat people for little or no money.

If you live in a small town, check the nearest big city for a dental school!Call the ASAP!

Answer 4

Dental procedures can be expensive even with typical insurance. You're best option is to review discount plans (save up to 80%) that meet your budget, provide instant access, cover most procedures (including cosmetic) and provide you the highest saving on the procedures YOU need. You can use http://www.BestDentalNow.com to simply enter your zip code, find providers in your area, and compare plans. You know upfront how much the savings are before you enter the office. Most national plans also have reps that will help you negotiate the cost and have the office finance the remainder, again, before your visit. More people are switching from high premium insurance to these plans that typically cost only 20 dollars monthly. I became convinced when I've used it for my daughter's braces, since BCBS was going to make me wait 6 months and then the cost was going to be higher since I was paying 100s dollars monthly on premiums for about the same price of the procedures. The best part is that you can review everything in a simple common-sense approach upfront and select which one is best for you.

im not really sure but all i can think of is take calcium supplements...maybe try asking a dentist for their advice, with out making an appt.  

Answer 6

two words - dental school. it's about your best bet! i go to a dental hygienist college all the time for my routine cleanings and pay a fraction of the price I would pay at an ordinary dental office. good luck!

Answer 8

You're not gonna get it done for "very little money" but you you need to decide whats really important. Would u really want to go cheap on something as important as your smile?  I know that sounds mean but I'm serious. I would not want some chop shop dentist working on my mouth. BUT there is an option.... there is something called Care Credit. It is a credit line, similar to a credit card that is just for dentistry work. So you can make payments. Not a whole lot of dentist offer it so look around. BUT DONT GO WITH THE CHEAPEST DENTIST!! YOU'LL REGRET IT IN THE END.
