I have very bad teeth and need them all removed but do not have insurance or the ability to pay too much. I am very self consious and do not smile with my mouth open. Also I feel that this is affecting my health because they are so bad. I would appreciate any feedback on this.

Then you are in quite a bind!!!


As with any other professional service it requires time and money to have the things we all want in life. It sounds like you really need and want the treatment so get to a dentist and find out what all is involved.





By the way, I am a dentist and there have been many instances in my life where I didn't have the $$$$$ to get things done I needed to have done. I just kept working hard at it until I did.





Best of luck!!!!

Reply:Contact social services in your area and see if your qualify for a dental health program. Most dental clinics will make payment arrangements with your or set up financing to have your teeth removed and new dentures fitted. Make some calls...there is help available but you have to really search for it and force the issue. Decaying teeth can affect your general health...so get help asap. I wish you the best
Reply:While it may be a little nerve wracking, you might check on some kind of dental spa in Mexico. I had a cavity filled in Tijuana about 15 years ago for $40 and have never had a problem. However, for extensive work, a trip to Mexico might be worth it....but make sure to do lots of internet research before commiting to it!
Reply:Work out a payment plan with a dentist or call social services in your area. They will give you info about clinics. You could also contact a dental school and see if they can help you.
Reply:The first answer is a good one--many dental schools offer low cost or even FREE dental care, as it provides students the hands-on training %26amp; experience they need. Check your local colleges and med schools, and see if any of them offer this as a service to lower-income people.





Good luck--and bad teeth DEFINITELY can affect your overall health!
