I am in dire need of a dentist and I really can not afford one. I live with my boyfriend and do not work. I watch our daughter and his older daughter from another relationship. I know if him and I were married it would be done and over with but that is not an option right now. Please let me know if there is anyway for this to happen.

Here, where I am, certain health centers offer dental services. You can’t be on insurance of any sort, including medicare/medicaid. But they offer the services for free.
For those who are on Medicare/Medicaid, there are dental offices that accept that type of insurance.
There are also community services offered. I recently learned that there is a church in my area that offers free services such as dental, a pharmacy, eye exams, etc all in the church there. It’s something they offer once a month, I think, and they only accept 20 people each time.
Not all of these services may be available in your area, but services like that aren’t advertised much, you have to do your research.
Good luck!

Need immediate oral surgery, however all oral surgeons seem to want to be paid up front, and I do not have the resources.

Check in your area to see if there is a dental school in a university in your area. Temple University offers discounted dental care and the rate is based on what the student dentist charges. Check out your area it may be worth it.

Right now I have a regular teeth brush and dental floss. But I am looking for an auto brush, and I think I like Dental Floss by Reach… not sure. There seems to be many different kind and varieties in brand, etc. Bit confused.

Great question! The answer depends on the individual. Anyone can do a fine job with a manuel tooth brush. That being said, most people do a better job cleaning with an electric tooth brush. Braun Oral-B has a brush called the Vitality. There are three kinds, you will want the one that has the round head. They cost less than $20.00

If you want to spend more money, Sonicare is the best of the best. They have a few models out and they all work equally well. They will run anywhere from $95.00 to $149.00.

As far as floss goes. If you have tight contacts between your teeth, you will want either a waxed floss or a synthetic floss like Glide.

I am a community heath care worker trying to find out if there is any pro bono dental care in Gr. MI. to assist clients. All are low income, most are uninsured in the dental dept. Some have limited health coverage. Our service helps people to resource.
a little more info., I am also looking for pro bono work like extractions, dentures, partials, ect.

I don't know of any probono, but teaching schools are a great resource for person's with little to no insurance. My dental hygiene school only charges $25 for adults and $15 for kids and seniors (that includes many things along with a cleaning, such as x-rays). Try looking up dental and dental hygiene schools in your area.

My 9 y/o daughter got braces and I want to make sure that her teeth are getting cleaned properly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sonicare is especially recommended for someone with braces.

Sonicare Elite is my top choice. There are many different model designations, but the "motors" are all pretty much the same. The kits are different because they pack different accessories. Some have two brush heads and some have four. Some have a travel bag and some have a wall-mount charger instead of a counter top charger.

Just read the label carefully and buy what you need. Bear in mind that you will have to replace the brush heads about every six months, so see if it is cheaper to buy a few extra brush heads in one of the kits.

Otherwise, buy a Sonicare, read and follow the directions. The directions are very clear and easy to understand.

If you want to try a Sonicare without taking out a loan, I've got good news for you. I just bought one for THIRTY DOLLARS. It uses two "AA" batteries, so you are not paying for a charger, etc. I have no idea how long the batteries last (yet), but $70 would buy a boat load of batteries. It seems to be equally effective as the rechargeable version with the new batteries.

I need to go see a dentist bad, with no health insurance, little money, is there a thing as free dental care?

I live in california

find a local university or community college that has a dental program. they offer cleanings and some minor repairs. problem is it will take longer, and they are still learning so screw-ups are possible.

I would also suggest calling all dentists in your area. some of them will allow you to make monthly payments. I had to get 2 pulled a while back- no insurance, i make too much money for gov't assistance, but a $300 dental bill would have killed me and my kids. I found a really great dentist who let me pay him $10/month. It was really quite amazing.

I also remember, from back when i was little that my church had a free dental day, where a couple of the dentists who attended would get together to help members in need. You may try that route as well.

good luck to you.

I need to have my teeth cleaned and some work done, but, I have very sensitive gums..Does anyone know about the dentists and hygienists at Community Dental Care? I'm new to Bixby, and this dental office is close to where I work. Any help would be appreciated. I also heard they were open very early, so, that's a plus for me. Thanks.

I hav enever heard anything bad about them and I live in Tulsa.

i just wondered the dental care cost difference of each states. for example, in case of bridge, which state is the most (least) expensive? just assume that patients use an average level of health insurance. hope to hear your kind answers.

I have looked everywhere for cheap to no cost dental work. I am disabled and only live on $452/ mo. My teeth are in bad shape from having three children back to back. Its so bad sometimes when I try to eat food, pieces of my teeth break off. Please help me.

1800 dentist, explain your complete situation to them

check in with social services, and see what they have

lastly, if those 2 dont work, then i would go from one dentist to another pleading for them to do pro bono work. you will get one that will help

Why is there lack of services offered to alabamaians when it comes to health? where in alabama can a person go for donated dental services, an other health related services for the poor?

You could go to a dental school where they practice on patients with an overseeing dentist for low cost, but each session is like 3 hours long! ( I tried it a few times!)
Or you can get a discount medical card (like I did!)
The company is AmeriPlan USA and they have 4 different plans for people who can't afford normal insurance coverage.
It covers all on-going medical and dental problems, with no physicals or paperwork to fill out. If this is something you are considering, I can tell you how it personally works for me.. and you can contact some of the dentists and doctors in your area to see the savings you could recieve with Ameriplan.
At the website you can click on the contact section.. and it gives my phone #. I'm central time, so I only ask that you don't call after 9. p.m. Thank you!
