Reply:go to a dental school if necessary, very low cost, they need to practice on someone.
Reply:check with a local college, a lot of times they can refer you to their dental interns.
Reply:There are discount dental clinics, and ones that will let you make payments. Just look in the yellow pages of your phone book and there they should be.
Good Luck
Reply:depends on where you live. Call the Health Dept-they might know. If you have a dental college nearby you can call them - they are looking for people like you to practice on. My brother did that several years ago when he didn't have insurance. Good Luck
Reply:Get on welfare. Everything is free for people on welfare. Otherwise, just tell the dentist you have no insurance, and they will usually go the cheapest route.
Reply:good luck, i wouldnt recommend letting someone pratice on you mouth. ive always been told that in most cases it ends up making things worse, i would check around in the yellow pages and see if i could find a dentist that offers payment plans....but with no insurance it the bills add up quick, i owe my dentist 8300.00 as of now and it sucks, i did get a type of credit card for dental its called careone credit, its been somewhat helpful

How can I get free money for my dental work?
I need 3 implants and 4 crowns and 2 veneers a crown lengthening and bleaching.
How can I get free money for my dental work?
Your question made me laugh. You're wanting free money for teeth bleaching?!!!
Man, I need three root canals, and I have teeth that are killing me with pain, but I wouldn't think of being here asking how to get free money to get dental work done, even though it's legitimate dental work (not bleaching or veneers)!! You've got some nerve.
I have dental insurance, but even with it, the copays are outrageous and I'm having to save up for my dental work.
Why don't you get a dental insurance plan then save up for the cosmetic dentistry work that you're wanting done??
That's the only way to do it in this country...unless you get chosen for Extreme Makeover or something.
Reply:find a job with good dental coverage. for what you need it would pay to take a cut in pay to work a job with good benefits versus salary. i just came back from the dentist for a cleaning. he told me i need almost $3000 worth of work, which isn't close to the amount you need. my insurance will only pay @ $250. good luck.
Reply:None of the dental procedures you have mentioned fall in the category needing emergency attention, so why do you need free money. You may uphold your dignity by earning, saving, and then get the treatment done under due coverage as may be provided by your insurance.
Reply:Dental and Laser eye surgery have become very common now. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India. as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.

Where can I get free or low cost dental care?
central florida area only [OcalaOrlando] Need dentures
Where can I get free or low cost dental care?
I have been a dental assistant for 10 yrs. As far as organizations that help with this, no. But I will say, that to get a dentist to do free or low cost dental care, you are going to have to show him why you are more deserving than the last 100 people who asked him the same thing. I know that most people don't realize this, but dentists get asked to do free or low cost dental care all the time. Most dentists will do this alot, but they pick and choose which patients are deserving.
For example, we had a man come into the office. He wasn't even asking for free or low cost work. After asking him alot of questions we found out that he was a single dad of 3 kids. His ex-wife had abandoned all of them 10 yrs or so before and had never helped financially nor had she even seen the kids. We gave him a huge discount on his dental work.
But on the other hand, a woman came in acting like she was better than everyone, had tons of jewelry on, nice clothes, cell phone, the works. The one thing that she didn't have was dental insurance, so she wanted us to give her a huge brake on her dental work, even though it was obvious that if she cut back on some extras in her life that she would have more money to pay for dental work, So we told her "Sorry, we can't help you."
You cant just ask for free dental work in most cases, without proving that you are truely deserving of it.
I dont mean to me judgemental, but there are hundreds of others who think that they are just as deserving as you, and if you are looking for a dentist to help you out with this, you have to know that they have to draw the line somewhere.
Reply:Cindarella if you call a local church sometimes they can recommend a dentist that will help you Report It
Reply:Hi not sure if you found help yet but here is some info for you T Jefferson 516-366-1119 So Florida Dr West Palmbeach Fl 333401,see people there is free help you just have to be willing to help Report It
Reply:there are no such things as low cost dental care ...I wish there was
Reply:It is all relative, because there is no such thing as low cost dental care or free care. The saying goes "You get what you paid for". Good luck.

Are there any free or low cost dental schools in Houston?
There is one in the Medical Center. Unfortunately my daughter had to go all the way to Mexico to get the treatment she needed because after two weeks of research, no clinic or private doctor would help her based on her income. Sad to say that there are no dentists in Houston that will devote any time to someone who is in so much pain. What goes round, comes around - so Houston dentists need to get a grip. Houston has a lawyers referral for people needed an attorney based on their income. But there is nothing of that kind in Houston for people in pain.
Looking for free or low cost dental work near venice florida/will travel some please contact celticrottie yaho
Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.
Call your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.
Go to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.
Check http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.
Check http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.
Check http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program. D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems. Not all states have D.D.S. programs.

Does sugar-free gum have any dental or hygiene benefits?
No. As a matter of fact, if you have ANY amalgam fillings, chewing gum accelerates the release of mercury vapor from the fillings. The amalgam fillings (silver fillings) do not bond to the teeth. The way they are installed by making the drilled cavity in the tooth larger at the bottom and smaller at the top hold the filling in like a wedge. The interstitial space between your tooth and the filling is where the bacteria thrives. The liquid mercury contained in the filling (over 50%) leaches out and is supposed to kill the bacteria. It does this for about 5 years. After that, an infection happens and in many cases biofilms are generated that are the precursor to cancer and even infections to the brain. This mercury has been linked to not only cancer issues, but Alzheimer's.
To view a graphic demonstration how mercury causes brain damage leading to Alzheimer's, go to the following web site:
http://commons.ucalgary.ca/mercury/
This is the web site for the University of Calgary School of Medicine where they conducted an extensive research project on mercury and how it affects brain tissue. The amount of mercury used in this experiment is 100 to 1,000 times less than what you get out of brushing your teeth or chewing gum each time you do it.
No wonder Alzheimer's disease is so rampant in our society today. Flu shots contain huge amounts of mercury, in fact, all vaccines contain huge amounts of mercury as a preservative in all vaccines, except in a few children's vaccines recently changed due to pressure from educated groups insisting it be removed. Thimerosol is the culprit in the vaccines.
Your dentist has been instructed by the ADA ( American Dental Association ) to not inform you about the dangers of Amalgam fillings. In fact, if he tells you they are bad and that information is relayed to the ADA, that dentist will lose his license. He is required by law to give you a paper prepared by the ADA to tell you it's O.K. to use the silver, mercury laced filling material. If you don't believe this statement, just simply ask your dentist if this is true. You will be amazed at the answer. This is happening in America!
The artificial sweeteners they use in the sugar-free gums have been shown to contain 92 different side effects in the human body that express themselves as diseases that most people do not relate to the garbage.
Bottom line is do not chew gum at all. It is not healthy for you regardless of what all the marketing hype says.
good luck to you
Does sugar-free gum have any dental or hygiene benefits?
it will help a bit i would say however the sugar is replaced wit sweetners which can be worse than sugar
Reply:Chewing gum after meals will increase the amount of saliva in your mouth. This will make the food particles left dissolve quicker, lessening the chance for cavities. Regular gum would still introduce sugar into the process and would there for only increase the amount of food needed to be dissolved.
Reply:Well there is a school of thought that believes that the action of chewing produces enzymes which prevent plaque and bacteria forming on the teeth and gums. Another school of though says that the action of chewing produces stomach acid in preparation for food which isn't consummated leaving an excess of acid in the stomach. I am not too sure if this is now an urban myth or not.
Reply:yes, it does help. Depending on what type of sugar replacement, xylitol is better than sorbitol. Recaldent which is a new type of chewing gum that has been developed with CPP-ACP ( derived from milk protein) can help to remineralise teeth. I think you can only get Recaldent from the dentists.
Reply:Yes definitely. If you are using sugar-free gum to freshen your breath, it is much better than gum with sugar. Sugar in the gum that you chew can feed the bacteria already in your mouth and can actually worsen your breath. It also depends on the gum that you use. I've been using Therabreath chewing gum by Dr. Harold Katz. It is sugar free and oxygen powered, so it eliminates dry mouth. It helps neutralize the Volatile Sulfur Compounds (the real cause of bad breath) in your mouth.
My suggestion is avoid sugared gum as much as you can, it really does nothing but temporarily mask bad breath and make it come back with a vengeance.
