I am in serious need of dental work. I am going through a divorce after 13 yrs. of marriage. I was always the stay home mom. If I did work, it was only part time for family to give me something to do & make a little extra money for myself. I still have dental insurance through my soon to be ex husbands employer. Right now, I can barely chew my food. I have always had bad teeth. Cavity after cavity. Fillings fall out. Root canals, extractions. Etc.. I have always taken good care of them, I don't understand why there so bad off. My last visit to the dentist due to a major abcess, I was told I need a few teeth surgically removed. I am already missing half of my teeth on the left side of my mouth. I am so embarrassed to smile. I can't even afford my copay, much less a few teeth surgically removed, & something to put in their place. I am in so much pain fromThe few teeth I have left on the sides & the back . I can not work full time due to my daughters & their fathers work schedule. I am in need of IMMEDIATE SERIOUS HELP!!!! Can someone PLEASE TELL ME WHAT CAN BE DONE???

This is an amazing website:

Most dental schools now only offer reduced fees, still not affordable to those with very low income. Try this.

  1. Get to a Pentecostal/Charasmatic church service (try God/Faith 1st). 
  2. Write your story in MS Word or in an eMail. YOU MUST USE THE SPELL-CHECK feature and correct the typo's.
  3. Copy/paste on each recommended website's "contact" page or eMail them.
  4. Wait for replies. 
  5. Google for more websites. 

BE BLESSED.
