I am a divorced working 40 year old woman. My job does not offer insurances of any kind. For several years I have been trying to find some kind of assistance to help with dental care as I have decalcification which is turning into major caries and subsequent pain.
I work hard, but there just isn't enough money to go around after I pay my rent and child support. And the social programs I've been in contact with have told me I am a family of 1 since my children live with my ex-husband but look at my gross income, not gross minus child support paid. It just seems like a catch-22 to be a responsible parent.
If anyone knows of a dental school or program that is willing to help - basically all I need at this point is to have all of the teeth extracted (only 4 teeth are sound at this point) - I would appreciate any and all offers/suggestions. Even if someone knows of a program that will do the work and accept token payments until it has been paid for. I'm not looking for a hand out but the pain has got to end.
