Some dental schools will accept patients for very low fees in order to give dental students people to practice on before graduation. It is done under the supervision of the instructors who are graduate dentists themselves, so it is supposed to be safe. You might try contacting a local college with a dental program and ask if they have a free or low-cost clinic.

You can try several things. \nFirst, contact the office staff at a large dentist's office to get in contact with the right person at the local dental associaton. (That's professional group for dentists in your town.) The association may know of a charity program that can help you.\n\nIf that doesn't work, look in the phone book for health clinics that serve poor people. They might be county health clinics, indigent health clinics, or religious charities. Talk to the people at these clinics, and see if they know of a way to get your new dentures paid for. \n\nYou are not the only person in this situation!! Lots of people are. Just keep asking, and you might connect with help. The medical community knows that not everyone can afford to buy dentures, and people do care. They're trying to help. Help them find you.

TINKERBEL,\nYOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT ALONE. MANY FOLKS HAVE NO DENTAL INSURANCE OR MEDICAL.\nIF YOU CAN LOOK FOR A DENTAL SCHOOL TO DO THE WORK OR A DENTAL CLINIC THE RATES ARE MORE REASONABLE THAN PRIVATE PRACTICE DENTISTS.\nTALK TO INDIVIDUAL DENTAL OFFICES AND SEE IF A PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT CAN BE MADE WITH THEM?

Unfortunately, grants are not given for dental work and treatments. I suggest you check out dental schools and colleges in your area, as their students are always on the lookout for practice cases - you may be able to get your dental work for free.\n\nThe government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. There are no grants for paying bills, for getting out of debt, for buying a car, or for dental works. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant.\n\nThere is a stringent review process through a committee. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

Not sure what a "map" card is.\n\nBut if you have no insurance and are low income, you can contact your county's department of social services and they will hook you up with health services.\n\nOr you can also search your local colleges and universities and see which ones may have a dental school.

Most dental schools have clinics that are cheaper than established dentists.\n\nYou can also look into state funded health care if your income is really small.\n\nGood luck

Look for dental colleges in your area.  They often have students preform the same services as a dentist for little or no money.  These students have gone through years of training and are constantly supervised.\nBut, when these services are offered, they fill up fast!!  Check colleges in your area and then call to make a time.

See your general dentist so he or she can extract the tooth.  If it is a complex extraction then your general dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon for the extraction.\n\nIf money is the problem then contact the dental school nearest you... the do work at very reduced fees.  Or, you can contact your local health department.. many health departemnts in the U.S. now have dental clinics.

hey there, I'm a dental assistant, but in the Midwest, so I will do my best to point you in the right direction.  First of all, have you tried medicaid?  If you are a single mom, you're probably eligible.  If you don't want to do that, there is a thing called "Care-Credit" like a credit card, but only for dental stuff.  Also, check your yellow pages!  Affordable Dentures is a chain that will make dentures (and do the extractions) all in one day and they a re about 1/3 price of going to your family dentist, (watch out though, they may look good, but not be perfectly comfortable, but you can always have them professionally relined) if all else fails, you may just have to save your $$.  why don't you try going to a few dentists in town and get their opinion.  The first consultation is usually free.
