Help With Paying For Dentures!!!!?

I am a 33 y.o. single mother of three that lives in Kentucky. I was not fortunate enough to have insurance when I was a child for preventative dental and my teeth are really bad. They are broken and cracked, some to the nerve. I can only eat soft foods and very ashamed of smiling. I know that if I go to the dentist for care, they will have to pull them all out. But with being the age I am, I cant embarrass my children, or myself, by being toothless. Is there any clinics or dentists that offer discounted dentures? I need help desperatly!!!

Check with a local agency where you live to see if they offer help for health purposes. I know there is one in the county I live in. Also, do you have a local health department that does discounted dental treatment? I don't recommend going to a discount denture place to have them made. They are usually an extremely cheap grade of denture, and don't usually look very realistic. I know it's expensive to have things done at a dental office, but with dental treatment, you definitely get what you pay for. Good dentists cost more. Period. If your credit is good, you can apply for Care Credit (http://carecredit.com). Check out their website for more information.


Good luck.
Reply:First thing I would do is go in and find out for sure what you need done. You might be able to have a partial denture, altho I don't know. Then after they tell you what you need, see if they offer a payment plan of some sort. Some dentists do, and others don't. You may just have to call around to dentists in your area. If there is a dental college in your area, alot of times they do work for a reduced rate becuz its students doing the work, but don't worry, they are supervised, so it gets done right. But, your first step is to get to a dentist before it really is to late and costs you even more. Good Luck!
Reply:I will give you the website for a discount dental plan that gives you great savings at the dentist. You can sign up online and also look up providers in your area by zip code, etc.
