In Excruitiating Pain

I have 11 teeth left on the top that all need to come out. And I need dentures. I have an abscess on the bottom right side that has been coming and going for over a year now. I am in excruciating pain when i eat. I was going to a dentist that did the payments and am still paying 1,000 for getting 3 teeth removed. My husband recently died and I cannot afford to get anymore work done at $1,000 for 3 teeth.

Large Cavity - No Insurance

Does anyone know anywhere in or near McKean County PA where I can get my tooth filled (not just yanked out?) I was recently laid off work and have no insurance.

Need Dental Help

I am almost 61 years old, becoming unemployed last year. Prior to this, I was employed for 20+ years as a divorce paralegal. When I was married from 1967 to 1976, I received dental care during this period. After my divorce, as a single mother, I barely got by, so dental care was the last thing on my list of to-do list. Years went by and when necessary, usually when I had a dental emergency, I saw a dentist. However, not with enough frequency to keep my teeth intact.

I have 4 teeth on top that are intact and the rest are broken or have fallen out. My son is going to be married this year, and I would like to have some teeth to show at his wedding. It is also getting very hard to eat food. I make too much on unemployment to get free services through DPW, so am looking for alternative solutions. Warm regards,

RottenTeeth

I have had bad teeth my whole life, but they have gotten worse over the last 5 years. I have no dental insurance. We are only living off my husbands unemployment and that is too much to qualify for public assistance.

Every one of my teeth are black, rotted, and broken and I get an abscessed tooth just about every day. Then I heard that a local man died from having an abscessed tooth and the poison from it ended up reaching his brain. I have a 9 year old son and if something were to happen to me, he would be sooo lost.

Need Dental Work - Maybe Dentures

I need some dental work done very bad. I have an unnatural fear of dentist and have not gone to one besides to have a tooth removed in a long time. I'm now suffering from that.

My teeth are breaking and getting very bad and before it gets much worse, I need to do something about it. I may be at the point that I just need to have them removed and get dentures. I am soon to be 40 years old. I have become disabled in the last 2 years due to back surgery an cannot afford to go to a dentist.

Teeth Are Rotted

I am a 32 year old mother of two children. All of my teeth are rotted. I work in the public and try as hard as I can not to smile and to keep my mouth closed. I have dental insurance but still cannot afford to go to a dentist. Both me, my husband and daughters live in a bedroom at my mother in laws. I can't afford to pay her and get my teeth fixed and because my job offers health and dental coverage, I cannot recive any help from clinics or the state.

I would like to pay for treatment. We do not have good credit and don't qualify for Carecard credit. I want to smile and go for a promotion at work. Please provide some leads. Thank you for reading this.
