Is there a way to get dental treatment paid for?!


Question: Is there a way to get dental treatment paid for!?
Some background:

I'm 25 years old!. My teeth have been breaking off in pieces, some large, some small, for about a year and a half now, and it's gotten to the point that I can't chew without pain!. Prior to the breakage I've had several teeth extracted due to advanced cavities as a child, and my parents tell me that my dentist wanted to coat my teeth in a type of plastic due to my thin enamel layer, but they never had the money to do it!.

I've done some research and looked at pictures of different types of decay!. I've decided that the cause of mine is acid decay from drinking too much soda!. Even though I kept up wih my brushing, the soda weakened my already weak enamel and caused the breaking to start!.

I suppose I've been lucky in the past, but I woke up on thanksgiving with intense pain and facial swelling on my right side!. Did more research and found out I had an abscess!. I went to the emergency room (since it was a holiday) and was prescribed two antibiotics and some pain meds!. Doctor told me what I already knew: I have to have a full dental extraction, meaning all my teeth have to go!.

I was a student until last easter, when I had to drop out and work full time to pay for a surgery I had back in January to have my gall bladder removed!. My student loans are far past the grace period, I have no insurance, and mounting medical bills from the surgery!. I work for $8/hour at Pizza Hut, so I definitely can't afford all this!. Is there some government grant or organization that can help with my situation!?

Thanks in advance for even reading this far!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Call the Health Dept and tell them your getting sick from all your broken teeth!. Bad teeth are so damaging to the body, so your not lying, they are effecting your health you just dont know it yet!.
Call a few dentists offices and speak to the office mgr and ask her what types of Dental Gov coverage is used in your area, you might get some info!.
Affordable Dentures will make you new teeth for the average of 400 depeding on where you live!. Their website has the info, they do not take insurance though, but just so you know, the cost of the dentures might be of a little comfort!. Some dental offices have dental plans, so thats another question, and ask if you can apply for that credit line at their office before actually having an appoitment or go to the last office you were a patient at and ask them if they will let you!. Sorry, so sorry your having this problem!. Dental pain is the worst!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

fyi you can apply for "economic hardship" to push your student loan payments back for at least a year!. call your lender so you don't go into default status!. the lender will be more than happy to work with you to figure something out!.
