I am a single mom of three children with no dental insurance. I get some government help but I receive nothing for my dental needs. Most of the governmental help I get is for my children which is fine. However, my teeth are so bad that I am in a great deal of pain.
I went to see a dentist where I was able to scrap up the movie for X-rays and a consult. The dentist told me I have $7000.00 worth of work that needs to be done. That is how bad my teeth are. I have been putting off my teeth for years since all my extra money goes to my kids.
I have started taking some classes in office management. So that I can offer my children a better life. Though my teacher stated to me off the cuff that I should fix up my teeth to make a better impression when I start looking for a job. It was a little hurtful but I know he is only telling the truth. Where do I look for a pro-bono dental? There is no way I can afford to have $7000.00 worth of work and need to have help. Please advise.
