Please help! Dos anyone know where you can get free or very low cost dental care?

Question

I need thousands of dollars of work done. My teeth are in extremely bad shape the enamel is completely worn off of the backs of my teeth due to an eating disorder i had for many years and I'm in pain. I also have several cavities.. my teeth are so sensitive any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in the Dallas area.

Answer 1

Your best option for low cost dentistry is trying at dental school near your area in the state. Students are keen to have patients like you that helps them in learning curve in a single mouth. Cost of treatment will be much less in comparison to going private. If your dental work bill is still high to be affordable, google search for dental care in India. Get a quote and make a decision from there.

Answer 2

Since you live near a pretty big city I would check into "free dental clinics"  usually a local dental college will come into a complex and perform free dental care another things to look into is to see if you qualify for state insurance.  If you need help with the pain I would try gargling with peroxide and then listerine every 2 hours.  I had horrible teeth and before I got them fixed I did some home remedies.  Some of the remedies actually do work.  I tried cloves and that helped somewhat.  Hope some of this helps  

Answer 3

Yes, definitely look into some type of clinical dentists office in your area...There are some places that are through the state (or county, whichever one), that may be able to give you a sliding fee, which makes it much cheaper to have work done. Also, check into medicaid, or something similar to see if you qualify. If you don't make too much, they may cover a good share of it for you. Do remember too, that many dental offices are great about creating a payment plan with you, as many of them realize we can't all pay at once for such things.

Best of luck to you hun, hope you are able to find some help here.
