I : I am sorry to hear about your troubles. It is very unfortunate that you require so much work. Your best bet is to contact a local dental school. Ask to be seen at the department of prosthodontics. It is the specialty dedicated to the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the mouth. You will be treated by the top dental school graduates who are learning to be specialists in this field. Dental schools will also have a sliding fee scale or possibly pro bono. Best of luck, dr.

Dental Society: Contact your local dental society for guidance as to where you can receive low cost dental care. You can also try dental schools, hospital residencies, and clinics. It may prove difficult finding free care in a private practice.

Pain is...: Pain is your bodies signal that there's something dramatically wrong, often infection. Is there a dental school in your area that provides reduced cost care? If not, check with medical clinics or emergency care centers for names of medicare dental providers in your area. Please don't put this off.
