Please contact your state dental association and ask about participating in "Donated Dental Services," which is a charity care program designed specifically for patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems.  Free care exists if you know how to ask for it.  Unfortunately, D.D.S. does not operate in all areas of the country, but hopefully there will be an office near you.\n\nLook in the Yellow Pages under "American Dental Association" and you will find your local listing or you can click on this link:\n\nhttp://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html

I believe most dentist will accept payments depending on your circumstances, how much your treatment cost and how long you want to make payments for.  There probably will be a monthly finance charge until paid in full.\n\nYou can also try calling 1-800-DENTIST or go online to www.1800dentist.com and I'm sure they will have some very good qualified dentist in your area and probably have payment plan information as well.

check your local childrens hospital, we use to have a pediatric dentist when I worked there.  He took cases like yours.  And the hospital had programs to help cover the part that insurance didnt.  We had to fit a 7 year old for dentures once after he had the last of his teeth pulled.

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\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.

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.

If you are eligible for medicaid, and the way your teeth are affect your ability to speak or eat, I think that having them fixed would be covered.  I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out and medicaid covered it because they were causing my teeth to croud and become crooked.  Call your local clinic.  There is usually a clinic for low income people in most cities.  Quite possibly, if they cause you to be depressed and you can get a diagnosis of depression, insurance may cover it for that reason too... I think you should look into it.

If you don't have much money and you are pregnant then you should qualify for medicaid. Your local DFACS office can give you Medicaid and you will get a temporary card that day. Many dentists take medicaid and you can just call around to find one who will. Medicaid for adults will pay for an extraction and all of your prescriptions. I'm guessing that your dentist didn't give you those antibiotics right? Very scary thing to do while pregnant. Not all antibiotics are safe while pregnant. As for going to the emergency room. They don't do any dentistry even with an abscess. The dentist wont even pull the tooth while it is infected because of septicemia. If you find one that will...RUN and don't go back. Your best bet is medicaid right now. For the time being, clove oil can help out with the pain and is available over the counter at your local drug store. Good luck
