Free dental care treatment needed, dont know what to do
I need to find a dentist somewhere out there that is willing to fix all of my teeth. I have very bad gross teeth but it is not because I did not try and take care of them. I had spinal meningitis when I was a child and it effected how all my teeth came in.
Now that I am in my 30 I only have really bad teeth that are week and braking a part. I have crowns root canals in order to try and save my teeth but nothing working and I am in teeth pain all the time. I have dental insurance but with my 1500 max I really not getting much done.
I just do not have the money to continue and I am in a great deal of pain. I need dental help and a dentist that is willing to help me and not think of just making more money. I do not know where to look for help at this point please advise.

Are there any dental clinics or dental school near you? Depending on your income you may be able to get free to low cost dental services.

Since you teeth are bad due to a medical condition have you spoken to your medical insurance company to see if there is any coverages afford to you?
You may want to speek to your doctors and see if they know of anything you can do. I wish you luck even for a very valid reason like yours it is hard to get someone to give you free dental care.

Try calling the American Dental Assocation. They sometimes have listing of places where you can go for free dental care. They may be able to refer you somewhere to go in your area.

One time a few years ago a friend of mine got some free dental care for her children. It was though the United Way. I am not sure it that was like a one time deal they set up or not but may be something to look into for yourself
