Free Dental surgery

My girlfriend is in need of free dental surgery. She was laid off 3 years ago and has not been able to find a job anywhere. She is a grandmother and helps with her 3 yearold grand-daughter who has down syndrome. I feel so bad for her. She has been in pain for over 7 months now. Please if anyone know of a a dentist who does probono dental surgery in the Richmond Va area please share that information.

NEED HELP!!!

If anyone could help me out I would so much appreciate it. I need a lot of dental work done. I just can't afford it. It sounds like it is going to be about 3500.00. There is no way and I am in so much pain. If there is anyone out there please help. I don't qualify for any help because I work. What about the ones that don't work and get everything free. It just doesn't make sense.

Desperately Need Dental Care

I am desperately seeking dental assistance. I have been on Medicare since 2004 due to my disability. When I worked, I had excellent insurance (health, dental, etc), but now I have no dental assistance. In the last couple of years, my teeth, which are mostly crowns & vaneers, have begun breaking off at the gum line. My gums are receeding & they are extremely infected. I will need sedation & surgical care to radify this situation. I have an income of $817 per month & can barely pay my rent & utilities & I have no money for food. I'm afraid that my dental problem will lead to bigger problems w/heart, kidney & liver as I have been told that this will happen if I don't get dental intervention immediately. What can I do?

Need immediate dental help

Simply put, I need help getting my teeth into a healthy condition. I need a dentist or a benefactor to help me pay for the work needed. I am on disability and have no insurance.

Breast Cancer Survivor needs Teeth Damaged from Chemotherapy fixed

CanHello:

While undergoing chemotheraphy treatments for breast cancer, substantial damage was done to my teeth. I am in need of extensive dental work because of it.

Being disabled and on a fixed income, I simply cannot afford the hefty cost of repairing my teeth. This issue has caused me to become extremely self-conscious when around others.

After all that I have persevered through, I should be smiling all the time; but I don't because my teeth have become weak and discolorated. Not only does chemo kill the bad cells in your body...it kills all cells...good or bad. Being able to get my teeth repaired would mean the world to me. I never ask anyone for anything so making this request is very difficult for me. Any assistance given small or large would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to all who take the time to read and assist.

Help $1 can make a difference

If I could just ask 36000 people to send me each one dollar ($1.00) then I could pay for the dental implants I need.
I am only 54 yrs old, I'm pretty but have major bad teeth, so send the dollar to 12050 Lucerne Trail, Lakeville MN. 55044

It's been a while

It's been quite a while since I've posted here. I wanted to at least thank everyone for the kind words and helpful and positive thoughts. My grandfather passed the 28th of november, it was rather difficult, and it was cancer. I consider myself lucky to have been able to talk to him and say my goodbyes before it happened, I hope anyone else ever faced with something like that would get the chance and the courage to do so as well, It's difficult and even when you think about what exactly to say, sometimes you wish you could say more. I'm glad he knew I loved him and that he knew I was there and I had the chance to thank him for all the wonderful memories that i have thanks to him. Now that I'm writing this, I really wish that I would have told him to let my grandmother know that I miss and love her if there is somewhere after this that by chance you would get to reunite or speak with a loved one who has already gone... I don't know what to believe anymore, the only thing I believe in for a fact now is to treat others well and to live a good life. To live with integrity and positive values. I doubt anyone will read this, but I don't see what it will hurt since I'm here and can't seem to stop myself from typing. I hope by now that at least some of the people I seen on here struggling have had a better year so far. I've gotten more comfortable even though it means cutting back on many things like TV, going anywhere but maybe to shop for groceries, can't remember the last time my boyfriend and I went out for dinner. Plus side though, I'm not alone, i have a wonderful father to my son now, blood or not. The way I see it is anyone can make a baby, but it takes someone special to be a parent. My son is doing splendid. He's funny, uber intelligent and everyone always comments on how happy he is. I am so lucky to have the people in my life that I do, because things would almost be impossible. For a long while I was tackling my depression for the most part, and doing an alright job. Things have gotten so rough lately though that I actually made an appointment with a therapist which i don't do unless I start to fear for my own emotional health. Sadly after making the appointment yesterday, the receptionist called me back today and said that the therapist had canceled, and then when i asked if i could possibly reschedule I was told no. It's almost alarming that someone who legitimately needs help ends up denied. Normally I would just try somewhere else, but there isn't anywhere around here without having to drive over an hour, and I can barely afford gas in my vehicle to get back and forth to my parents or the store. I still haven't gotten a date for court concerning my disability case, which is for severe anxiety and bi-polar disorder (which i have begun to wonder if I wasn't diagnosed incorrectly), and the fact that I can no longer see or afford to see a therapist or counselor isn't going to help my case. I still get medication from my regular MD to help, but it doesn't feel like it's enough at this point, even though the one I am currently on is by far the best one I have encountered. I also wish there were some way I could get partials/dentures for my teeth. I don't know how or why it happened, but when I was born I was born without many of my adult teeth and many of my baby teeth never fell out. I probably sound like I'm complaining, and I should be happy to have the ones that I do, but my gums are constantly ripped or hurt by many foods, and then theres the fact that I'm very self conscious to the point that I'm careful not to smile. Anywho, it's getting beyond late and I suppose I'm just rambling now.. If you actually read this, thank you and I wish you well.

Please Someone Help....

My name is Tammy. I am (was) a career Paramedic put on Disability in 2009. I only get 956.00 a month in Disability benefits. Half of that goes to rent. The rest goes for Utilities, gas, etc. I only get 49.00 in Food stamps. I am on Medicare, but it doesn't cover much at all, and the co-pays for the tests I have to have and my medications (I'm on many) plus Dr. visit co-pays are very high. I cannot pay them with any regularity, and go without my Dr. and medications most of the time. I have tried but cannot get Medicaid, because I make "too much" in Disability by 11.00 dollars. NC is one of the very few states that has a monetary ceiling on Medicaid for the disabled. There is NO way around it, I have tried. Medicare does not cover dental, and I am in pain with my teeth and have only a few left. They have degenerated to almost nothing due to the inhaled medications I take 6-8 times a day. I have already had two bad infections from my teeth and I fear more. My Dr,. said that an infection there can attack my heart and kill me. I need to have what's left pulled and get dentures. I have done research and there is a place in Raleigh that will do everything for around 900.00 dollars, including dentures. There is no way I can do it. Medicare doesn't cover glasses, and mine are at least 6 years old. I got behind in my lights a couple of months ago due to a medical emergency that I had to use light bill money for, and I could never get back straight. Now my lights are due to be cut off on Jan. 28. The bill is 158.00, but I don't have it. I can't get assistance anywhere. I don't qualify for help at DSS because I don't have a newborn, small children in my home and I am not on what this county calls life support, even though my breathing machines run on electricity. I have been struggling just to live since I've been on disability and now I need help very badly. I served my community for over 15 years as a medical provider and now I can get no help anywhere. I have a daughter, but she has a family to support and is in bad shape financially herself, but she does help when she can with what she can, but can't help with that kind of money. She doesn't have 158.00 dollars anymore than I do, much less enough to help me get teeth. I just want to be able to smile at my grandaughter again, that's all. And I want to keep my lights and heat on. If I lose my electricity, I'll never be able to get it back on and will consequently lose my apartment. I can provide verification for everything, how much in disability, utilities bill, etc. This is NOT a scam, this is an honest plea for help from someone, anyone. I worked hard for years as a Paramedic, I paid in to the government like a good taxpayer, yet all I see getting any help when I go to DSS are young people wearing nice clothes and expensive jewelry, talking on new cell phones while they wait and driving fancy cars. I don't want any of those things, I just want to live. I can't get ANYTHING except 49.00 in Food Stamps and my medicare. PLEASE, PLEASE someone help me. Thank you.

All my boyfriend wants to do is smile again and have his son not look at him funny, Please help!

I have searched and searched all day and still cannot find anything on fre dental help. My boyfriend was in a almost fatal car crash a year ago, he was told he was lucky he walked away from it alive, he had an angel looking out for him thats for sure. The accident left him pretty beat up, he has recovered 90% but he was thrown out of the car and hit cement causing all his front teeth to break and did a lot of damage to his mouth. He lost his job which caused him to loose his insurance. He lives on a very strict income and pays child support, all the dentist he has seen want a large payment amount up front and he does not have it. My heart break everytime he is in pain, we have visit the ER a few times already this year cause it's getting worse and worse. All he said that he wants is to be able to smile again and not gross out his son, he is 6years old and doesnt understand why he has bad teeth, please if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I just want him to not be in amounts of pain anymores and finally be happy again.
