Dental Patient with Spinal Bifia

I am a 39 year old male with spinal bifia v-p shunt and have had hemographic stroke and fluid around the heart and hypertension. My State insurance does not cover dental and my teeth are breaking off and my mouth is swelling. Any infection could possibly affect my v-p shunt. I have contacted dentists and been to schools in the Baltimore area with no success. I am running out of resources and ask if someone could please direct me in the right direction.

Two Implant Replacements or Repairs

I am currently unemployed. My two top front teeth are implants. Because I grit my teeth at night, they are pushed out slightly and one is loose. I would like to get the loose one stabilized or somehow secured until I get a job and can get both replaced. Or I would at least like to get the loose one replaced for now. I live in Silver Spring, Md. Where can I go to get a free implant or really low payment plan? Thank you.

Gum Disease and Dentures

I am in need of dental work. To be honest, I have gum disease and I am not sure if my teeth can be saved. I already have several teeth missing both top and bottom in my front. For about five years I wore a partial plate for my bottom front two teeth but within this past year my teeth have shifted to the point where I can no longer wear it. My finances do not let me visit the dentist a lot. I am hoping that there may be a program out there that would help. Thank You,

Aunt's Teeth Broken and Bleeding

My aunt took a fall and has broken two teeth on the left side of her mouth. She is here visiting, and does not have dental insurance. How do I find an affordable clinic where I can take her to get these teeth extracted? I will be paying for the extraction, and cannot afford a lot of money. I currently reside in Montgomery County, MD. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Badly Need Dental Work

I just had a root canal. It was almost a thousand dollars. I just had a build up which was $300 and now need a crown to complete the process for the tooth to stay stable and not break. I am a single mom without insurance and don't have this kind of money. About twenty years ago, I had a veneer put on my front tooth - now its receding and turning yellow. I hat the way I look in the mirror and won't take a photo because the tooth looks horrible.

Will Travel for Dental Care

I am 29 years old and have had dental problems all my life. Currently, I am missing almost all of my teeth, and they are all below the gum line and decayed.

I have no health insurance and the high cost of dental services is what keeps me out of the chair. I currently do not have a income that can allow me to get insurance and I just am unable to pay for much at all.

I am in desperate need of help i just want to smile again because it has been so long and I would love to be able to eat certain things that I have had to give up because i just cannot eat very much because of it. Please consider me as a patient to help. I live in Maryland, but willing to travel to certain areas to receive help.

I Need a Partial Plate

I currently need a partial plate. have a reproductive disorder called endometriosis that had not been treated for several years by my primary doctor. The condition has worsened over time causing me to vomit excessively. The acid had worn away the enamel on my front and back teeth. Now I need three of my front teeth replaced immediately. My insurance only pays for preventive care and will cover everything up to extractions but not the work that needs to be done. I am unable to work because of my condition and can't afford to pay much.
