Hello, I am a 50 yrs old christian widow that's disabled by Post Concussive Sydrome. It has been truly difficult over the years since my disability in 1995. I am in desperate need or dental work. I have a low income dental plan but still can't affordcome the work I need done on my teeth. I have always loved to smile but as I got older my teeth have suffered. I saw my new dentist yesterday. She  prescribed a plan to get my back my smile but the proceedures that I needed to have done are more than I can afford. Because I have three broken  and or decayed teeth and two discolored just on the top portion of my mouth, a denture is suggested with the removal of the five I have left on top. I can't come up with the money I need for the proceedures to be done. I have no way to work for it because of my disability. I really don't see the light at the end of the tunnel with so little income and so many bills. I pray to the lord for help daily. I also have diabetes, anxiety disorder with painic attacks that I have to keep under control and I'm a stroke survivor. If anyone has any advice for me on where to look for the help I need, I would greatly appreciate it. May God Bless and Thank You.
 I have just found my new apartment at a govenment substadized property in Florida. I have found it hard to get my dental wook done though I do have a low cost dental plan. Still after my bills, I have no money for any of the work I badly need done. Along with the disability, I also am diabetic and a stroke survivor. I'm unsure what agencies there are that will acttually do something to help.

 in response to grandma2400...   When I was online looking for answers to my dental problems, I found the following website: www.NFDH.org. It is the National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped. According to what I read on the site, Destist all over the USA donate their time and sevices to helping those with low incomes that are elderly. disabled or have a handicap. I thought I'd share this with everyone.

I too, am on disability, and live on a low, low fixed in come.  I need bone grafts in the upper part of my mouth to even to be able to wear a denture.  But my insurance does not pay for that.  I can not find a place for free dental work in my state of West Virginia.

I really need help.  I can not even eat a pickle, or solid foods, only soft foods and drinks. I know what you are going through.  I will pray for you, and hope you will pray for me, and we both get what we need done.

Hi

It is late and meant to address this earlier. Please see my blog for free dental clinics for your state. You will have to do a little reading to find it but it is there.

Good luck
