I need dental care...fast...?!
Question: I need dental care...fast...?
Throughout the years, I've never been a very dental hygienic person, because my family never really pushed the issue after a while. So that has a large part to play in my problem. Also, I think some of it might be genetic. (I'm no proffessional so I wouldn't know) but my My mom, my older brother, and my younger sister (she's 11) all have some sort of dental problem. My brother has brushed his teeth religiously, and my sister always brushed her teeth, but she still had to have her two front teeth pulled due to some discoloration and something else when she was 8 or 9.
But my teeth have gotten to the point to where it hurts to eat sometimes, and eating anything hard like chips or pretzels involves me risking breaking my already eroding teeth. Its a very touchy subject for me, so no trolling please. But some of my teeth have missing pieces, either at the tips, where they have broken off, or near my gum line, where there are .. pieces missing from the ...enamel? Some of them are flesh colored inside, where others are pretty much black.
I have a very low paying job (under $8 an hour), and with bills, it's impossible for me to afford insurance. But I fear if I don't get my teeth checked out and fixed soon, they will start to effect my health condition dramatically.
I just want a way to fix my teeth (or replace them if necessary) the easiest/cheapest way possible for someone who can't afford dental insurance.
I live in indiana. So if anyone has any HELPFUL suggestions, please let me know.
My teeth get worse and worse every day.
Please help...
I'm desperate.
It hurts so bad. =[

Medical Discount Plan
ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services.
Individual & Family Health Plans
This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose.
Short Term Medical Plans
This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you've found a new job, but your new employer's group health insurance plan won't kick in until you've been with months.

You just have to google a dental clinic or health clinic with low cost dental services. If nothing is in your area, you have to pay in installments at whatever group of dentists will accept a payment plan. Dental is expensive but important to take care of because infections can spread. You must take care of your teeth even if you pay for it the rest of your life, but that is real life. Google low income dental clinics.
Hello,
I don't live in the same town with you. But try thes few things:
1- Call the dental school in your town to see if you can be a candidate for their patient.
2) Call health department in your city. They normally have free dental clinic.
3) Check to see if you are qualified for dental assistance program in your city.
4) Check to see if there is any non-profit clinic in your city. You can start of by calling the dental office. Keep calling until you can one that can help you.
I promise you, if you try hard, you will find someone that can help you. One other thing is , why not take some courses to become a dental assistant. It will take about 6-9 months. You will get help and also get a better paid job.
