Question: My boyfriend has TERRIBLE dental health, but we are without insurance, and can't afford a dentist, what to do?
My boyfriend was born with little/no enamel on his teeth, both his parents got dentures in their 20s same with his grandparents. Neither of our families have health insurance or a lot of money, and neither of us make very much at all at our jobs. Most of his teeth have cavities, are constantly breaking off and hurt him so bad every day, all day to the point where he cries. It kills me to see him in so much pain, but in this wonderful f-ing country we live in he can't even go to the hospital cause we can't afford it. What can we do??? PLEASE HELP!!

Answers:

I go to a dental school for my dental care. If there is one close by, that is a good option. It is not free, but most cheaper than paying out of pocket. It also takes much more time than a regular dentist. But I've received great care there.

Many dentist offices will workout a payment plane with you. Call around and see what you can find out. Could you pay say $50/month? Maybe it would be worth it to get a second job until he gets his teeth fixed. Or think about canceling your cable or internet until it is paid for.

I feel for you, I know how it is. His best option might be to get them pulled and get dentures. The Denture Clinic here does a full set for about $400. He would also have to pay to get them pulled.

*hugs* I hope everything works out.



Try a local community health center. See my source to find a local one.

Check out clinics at dental schools.

And be sure to vote. Some people think everyone should have healthcare. Some politicians don't.
