I have had problems with my teeth for the last 14 years. I have never had dental insurance and have low paying jobs. At one time I was eligible for medicaid, but the problem was I couldn't find a dentist who would accept it. One dental office said medicaid doesn't pay enough and we can't take your kind of people. All of the federally funded clinics are full and they won't put me on a waiting list either.
I need to get my teeth healthy and find an affordable dental plan to maintain them. My self esteem is gone because of it. I would love to go to college but am to overwhelmed and depressed with my mouth. Please help.

My cousin was just diagnosed with cancer and cannot begin his radiation treatments until he has his teeth removed. He has no insurance and works in a low wage job. We are hoping someone will read this and offer us some ideas as to where we can go for some help. He has no children so he cannot qualify for state aid in our state.
