Go see a: Good dentist. Poor dental health can affect you bodies health too. Only a dentist can tell you what teeth should be pulled and which are worth saving. Remember brushing and flossing don't cost much and do make a big difference.

Bad teeth: Dental insurance does not mean you can't take care of your teeth. Take a look at your diet- are you drinking pop or chewing gum or sucking on mints or life savers. Even refined carbohydrates like crackers or chips can cause decay. Check to see if you are near a dental school as they can not only clean your teeth for a reasonable fee and often take payments. Some hospitals have dental residents.

No Insurance ?: Dr. Mcgarrry gave you some great advice. In addition, i would recommend that you see a dentist asap to first see what treatment you need and your options. Start with the most serious problems first. See what can be temporized and get your treatment done in stages. Too many people see this as an all or none situation. Do as much as you can at your financial comfort level. Find out about carecredit.

Dental Problems: Your post indicates that you have multiple issues that need attention. Many people don't have insurance, but they still fix their teeth. Even if you did have insurance, it would only cover a small portion of your care... the rest would be out of pocket. Set your priorities, find a dental school or hospital program with reduced fees, and restore your oral health.
