Dental assistance

[Diane]

Hi My name is Diane & I am in direr need of dental work, my teeth are broken, missing & starting to absess. Problem is I can't afford to pay the dentist all at once. I went to western dental & got on the discount plan, but to have the bad teeth pulled & dentures it's going to cost $3825.00. I don't have that kind of money.. I work part time & pick up any odd jobs that I can, But they want $2300.00 up front. If I don't do something soon it will start to affect my health. I am 55 years old & just don't know what to do. I have tried everything I know of, Is there anyone that can help me with this.Please Diane

Wow, they want that much up front? Usually many dentists will offer some type of installment plans or work with patients a little more so then that. Surprised. But it is what it is. Looks like you registered from the Madison County area of Kentucky. If so, here is a listing of programs and places to call for low income assistance programs. Try the following.
The main place to go to for dental care is the Kentucky River Foothills Development Council, Inc. Phone 859/623-6514. They work with local clinics, government programs, and numerous other non-profits and charities in the community, They also have aid for bills and debts.
