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.

Try calling a dental school in your area.  Generally the fee is very little if not free.

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.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic.  In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nIf you are a senior citizen, call your local Area Agency on Aging or Office on Aging.  If you can not find a listing in your local phone book on the "County Government" pages (usually marked with blue borders), call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the Area Agency on Aging serving you.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nCheck 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.  This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you.  Not all states have D.D.S. programs.\n\nIf worse comes to worse, check out http://www.prosper.com and see if you can find a funding source.

Schedule the surgery!  You can go to the local public assistance office and they will help you find programs including theirs which will help your family with food stamps, money, medical, heat assistance and phone bill assistance if you qualify and it sounds like you would with him out that long.  If he has any sick time, he needs to take it, he can take a leave of absence for illness for 3 months under the family leave act, he wouldn't get paid but he'd keep his job.  \n\nThe surgery might be outpatient so it would be the 1 day.  Some of the public assistance programs when you apply go back to the day you apply or at least 30 days back, so if it wasn't covered now by medicaid it would be retroactively covered.  They might give you a temp card too so they would bill medicaid and it would be paid at a later date.  \n\nYou can talk to the hospital about the bill too, they can set it up so you'd make small payments or even to bill the medicaid at a later date.  \n\nTo survive in the meantime, do you belong to a church?  any organizations?  The red cross and some of the churches sometimes take up fundraisers or give donations to family to help them recover from illness so that can be an option while waiting for the public assistance.\n\nhttp://www.okhca.org/client/eligibility/apply.asp  you can apply here\n\nCall these numbers to ask what you can do:\n\nOklahoma Health Care Authority\n4545 N.

Unfortunately the prescription drug program would probably end up costing him more money than he pays now.  The ideal option would be for him to find a way to purchase drugs from Canada.  \n\nPlease urge him to seek medical attention, though.  If it is an emergency, it is illegal for doctors to refuse him care and he may need surgery to keep him alive.

if i was you.. I would check into a new insurance.. Delta dental is GREAT. Im 24 yrs old..I am having  impressions made for my partial plate... then when it comes in in 7-10 days I am having 6 top teeth pulled.. with Delta that is only costing me like 400.00\nDelta covers 80% of all dental work done.. also has some free yearly checkups..\nIt covers 50% of false teeth cost \nI TOO AM SCARED TO DEATH AND THOUGHT ABOUT BEING PUT TO SLEEP TO HAVE IT ALL DONE..ITS HARD.. BUT SOME TIMES YOU JUST have to suck it up and be an adult.. I have decided its much better to have pretty teeth and you will love the way you feel and look afterwords\nGood luck man!

Heavens to Betsy!  You should ALWAYS look a gift horse in the mouth.  It may need enough dental work to bankrupt you.

Yes, if I needed it.  Dental bills can be very expensive, and not everyone has dental insurance.

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.

What you have to pay is dependent on your husband's rank.  I had to have a tooth pulled and I had to pay $46 out of pocket.  Call you dentist's office. They should be able to tell you UPFRONT how much you will have to pay when you go on.  I've had Tricare Dental for YEARS and I've always called ahead to find out what I had to pay so I wouldn't be surprised.  Don't bother calling United Concordia direct.  I don't think anyone actually works there :0)

Depending on where she lives, there may be some help for her. You should contact a number of dentists in her area and see what they say. \n\nFor example, I knew someone once who had his in-laws visiting from Europe. Someone had taken the in-laws on a sight seeing tour and all of them got into a nasty car accident. It turned out that the in-laws didn't have any insurance, and everyone panicked.\n\nThey were able to find a dentist-denturist team who were able to do the work at a fraction of the cost. Look for offices that do not have a lot of overhead ($) too.\n\nGood luck.

Good Luck, join the crowd of Americans with no insurance. Thank you Mr. Bush! There are state funded insurance you might qualify for, but they are usually closed to new patients. Or you can go to your city public health department, they can help you out.

It takes something pretty serious to keep you from passing the screening. I'm seriously anemic and they still approved me to come here. I think a lot of it has to do with where your going. Our hospital here in Naples doesn't even have a Intensive Care Unit, I think it's a forty something bed hospital, so anybody with anything that is too bad, they wouldn't send somewhere like this. My biggest problem for the overseas screening was the dental. I actually had to have a lot of work done on my mouth! But that kind worked out for the best for me....I got braces and the Military is paying for them one hundred percent because I live overseas! I'm seen on base here for both medical and dental.As a dependent ( My husband is the active duty member ) over the age of 19, our dental insurance through the military in the States wouldn't cover anything for braces. And remember that when you go in for your screening, you'll see a military dentist for your dental screening, but if you have anything they want fixed before you go ( Wisdom teeth pulled, cavities filled, etc... ) they'll make you go to a civilian dentist to have it done, so you'll hav to pay whatever the insurance doesn't.
