Dentistry is the biggest money racket in the U.S. all dentists are extortionists i think it is completely rediculous how much it costs and that there is no kind of government funding for it for people who need it and qualify becus it is a health hazzard and risk it is one of if not the most painful thing a person could experience and go thru,there should be some kind of funding for U.S. citizens for dental period point blank!
Totally agree.Dentistry is a rip-off, but unfortunately we must pay through the nose (so to speak). I’ve made inquiries at Premera (my medical insurance carrier) and they won’t cover any dental work, unless of course I pay for a separate dental plan.
I currently have some insurance coverage via Dental Health Services, but they will only cover a portion of my extractions. My dentist referred me to an orthodontist for the dentures, but he’s not a part of the DentalHealth Service insurance plan. So, more money out of pocket and I’m retired and on a fixed income.
Having bad teeth is definitely a health issue and should be something covered under Medicare, Medicade or one of the private insurance companies. Dentistry costs remind me of what our pharmacies are doing to us.
Couldn't agree more! And the fact of having bad teeth causes other medical problems, which has been proven to be the case. With that in mind, you'd think the government put in place affordable dentistry. So they aren't spending even more money down the road for the medical implication that arise later in someone's health because of their dental problems. In other words they would actually be saving money. It something that is way overdue because it's obvious the dental profession prices won't be coming down any time soon.
obamacare dropped the ball
👏👏👏👏👏
Wow. Your hair is gorgeous this color😯
Dental schools will often provide free services in exchange for students getting practical experience. Here in DC, check Howard University....
Why have I never heard of 211? I've been a single working parent for 8 Years the struggle is real and I've never once heard of this..
I agree with your last 2 suggestions - cut spending and save money. Unfortunately, many people who "can't afford" dentistry are really people who don't want to pay for it. People have to look into their lives and eliminate things that cost money and give little benefit - like cigarettes, trips to the pub, and eating out. If you can afford to have take-out from Burger King on a regular basis, then you should be able to change your habits and put the same money into dental care.
You are an absolute doll and making each of these videos is a gift in itself just to be able to sit and spend a few moments enjoying your bubbly personality and warm caring nature. Well done sweet lady, your husband is a very lucky guy indeed. Thank you for posting them.
I am so grateful for you!!! I am restating my page...i would love if you would link it
what a "dirtish" comment! This is one of the most down to earth amazing brave woman Ive ever seen! If you're truly interested-she made a video showing her "before" picture-which was EXTREMELY brave for a woman attractive as she is! She's an earth angel in my book-Im in same boat & just try to maintain the terror of unknown future. She gives me hope & I love her for this!
octgoddess9 I wish I knew who you are referring too about saying the "dirtish" comment? I'm just curious because I only remember one at the beginning of the postings. Just wondering if I missed something. Thanks. 🙃
You are such an inspiration to so many and to myself. I've had crooked, chipped teeth do to hereditary conditions and watching your video is giving me courage to try to actually get dentures and fix this problem of mine it's caused my self esteem to plummet and I see how much it's changed you . Thank you love your videos you are just beautiful !
Alicia P Thank you:) I know how it is, girl! Good luck!
I'm on high dose antibiotics several times a year, onetime it was for 11 months straight. I'm also taking lifetime low dose chemo, I take it daily and get an infusion every 8 weeks as well and my teeth are literally falling out of my mouth now. I'm so horrified and while I do have health insurance,, it does not cover any dental work at all. I appreciate this video, I also think some people should take care with their words, I took good care of my teeth but it actually looks the opposite.
This news of calling '211' was unknown to me, and I thank you profusely for this information...also, if you have had ANY dental work done, it is 100% undetectable, you look FANTASTIC and are amazingly helpful...thank you SO much for posting this video, my wife and I love you to bits...;)
Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm crying tough. But in a good way. You and another youtuber have given me so much hope. And i feel a lot better now. Because honestly I dont even want to do anything or meet anyone because of how bad my teeth are getting. But because of you I'm now going to look into it. Truly thank you.
I wanted to say that ur very inspirational. I have been having teeth problems and have been scared to talk to a dentist. I watched a few of ur videos and u have giving me the courage to go and get it taking care of. I love how u truly speak from ur heart. Thank u for being a inspiration
I think you are one awesome lady all the way around. You are very pretty, real, caring and helpful to many who need it. Bravo for being a great human being.
@knit44 Walmart brand coffee. Also, cases of coke cost like 5 and some change, whereas the supermarket brand is like 2 and some change, or something like that. If you buy bottled water, start distilling your own water and using a reusable bottle. If you spend $60 in gas weekly- try cutting back by about $10 and limiting travel by doing all of your errands on the same day, buying groceries for the week to limit your back and forth trips, etc. Little things will add up and make it easier on you.
Soda is a huge hindrance to tooth damage. Even diet, the acid on teeth is bad .
What about a straw?
You're amazing. Thank you for sharing your story of strength, creativity, and resilience.
I bought my denture at the denture store on Etsy. I love my dentures my kids say they look exactly like my teeth from 10 years ago. Total cost was about $250 for upper denture custom made because I have really small Teeth and jaw. Ask me I will send a picture. I was so scared to order off-line but took the plunge and I'm glad I did.
I bet it was scary ordering online but I don't know what would be worse running around with all your teeth broken off at the gums or already gone and having pain or taking a chance and having no more pain and teeth that could turn out perfect. Could you please send me some pictures? My email is Lvn4tody@yahoo.com thank you
Theresa Keyes did u order from RK .. I'm really wanting to try him
Theresa Keyes can you please send me a pic I would love to see how it looks. Locs2talkabout@gmail.com Thanks in advance!
I actually plan on selling my other car (one that I fully own) to get my dentures I'm planning on. I don't want to do it whatsoever but my health is more important. I'm at the point where I can't wait anymore and have to do SOMETHING. My job finally provided insurance and my boss cut all our hours so we couldn't qualify.
Well here in North Texas there is a clinic that offers dental like extractions, fillings and I don't know what else. But I doubt dentures and they ask you to donate like $10-$15 or whatever you can afford. So you could do that and then go to affordable dentures and have it all done for under $1000. The clinic is called H.O.P.E. now I don't know if they have them everywhere or not. I believe if you work for the public you can call your local health dept. And they can help you with dentures and extractions. I have known of a couple people that has had it done. One worked at a grocery store and another at a gas station. Now I doubt you will get sedation but if your desperate it's something. I need it done but am deathly afraid of the dentist and can't afford it and want to be knocked smooth out to get all my teeth pulled. And I love food and don't want to be on a soup diet for months. You wouldn't think I would be afraid as I had 2-3 teeth pulled and a bridge place on the top front back in 2006 by a Mexican lady in a recliner at a house. But that probably isn't nowhere as bad as having 20+ teeth pulled at one time.
Most people don't realize too that if you're a self-pay patient (meaning you don't have dental insurance) you can negotiate with the office because basically if you have let's say Delta & the office is a participating practice they have to go by Delta's fees for each procedure. so say the doctor charges $1,000 for a root canal if they participate with Delta, Delta says we only pay $750 for that root canal. Then the office has to submit the claim to Delta and wait for the payment. So as a self-pay patient you can at least get them down to the fees that the insurance companies pay out, because they know they're going to get paid quicker and usually with less hassle. I hope that made sense! I know it can be a little bit confusing if you don't understand how dental Insurance works.
And just a sad FYI on the whole field dentistry and insurance the average benefit is $1,200 and it's been that since 1976!!! 😕
Your other option would be dental schools depending on where you live in the country. Usually the cost is around half of what it would be if you went to a regular practice. I know the thought of having students work on your teeth is a little scary but they are always supervised and they have to do the best job possible because if they don't they're not going to make it through school!
(I was dental assistant for 10/15 years and sadly I'm dealing with some pretty severe dental problems! So it can happen to anybody! Even those of us who are supposed to know better! I really wish there was a way to revamp the whole field so finances wouldn't be such a problem & a deterrent to dental care! It most definitely affects people not only physically but mentally!)
If you're not ready to quit smoking buy a roller and a bag of tobacco. It will bring your cost to about $1.50 a pack. Also try this. On the 1st of the month put $1 in a jar. On the 2nd put $2, 3rd $3, 4th $4, etc. By the EOM you'll have almost $500.00. It's a cool way to save a few bucks. ;)
Ricky Pisano I roll too, it's a pain in the ass but I'm certain there is only tobacco, no rat poison and the other 10,000 chemicals they put in that shit.
I buy a bag of tobacco 2 lbs and 2 boxes of tubes 200 cigs a box and a cheep roller it is a $20 deal to get the bag and tubes..
When i am working i do simular to save exept i put any ones and change i have att he end of the day in a jar. be it 1 or 10 ones.. usually have about 200 bucks in a month. since i am not working can't do this and with my teeth messed up like this I can't re open my business or even work at someone elses.. it sucks
Ricky Pisano rolling is definitely a huge money saver. Its also a pain in the ass and easier to quit lol
Who would help me with my life and i have $0 ?
Oh and another one is in most areas there are dental schools that need people that they can work on there teeth and in many casesz they will give you free or cheap dental work for a reasonable price
thanks again
I had a place tell me 20 grand for the implants ! smh this country needs to get it togther
Krystal smith I just got back from the dentist and the quote was $60,000 for dentures!!! Not even implants! Just pulling my teeth that are failing and placing dentures! I left angry and cried all the way home after paying $500 for the office visit and X-rays. This was the sixth dentist that I have seen in the last five years... four dentists this month for a tooth that is hurting and abscessed! I've been ripped off all my life and could write a book on dentistry rip off. I'm so depressed. Watching video's like crazy and trying to find a solution. This is so sad... people suffering because they can't afford dental work! ☹️
I had a place for 50,000
Raechel Lyn Frantom where do you live? In Atlanta my procedure will cost around 8k to START. Then in a year another 6k or so. The point is look in a different state. Or go to a dental school. We tried the one in Augusta, Ga but could not qualify.
@@raechelyndawn2580 my heart aches for you, I'm dealing with the same and live off $512 a month but with teeth again feel like I could conquer the world but I'm just stuck suffering and I'm suicidal how could I not be, just dreaming and envying ppl with nice teeth in a way they are priceless but should be waaaayb more affordable I hate this I'm searching too, hope you got the teeth you deserved in Jesus name! We need you lord, this all tests our faith so much how can I preach if I'm afraid to go anywhere
Most dental insurance is $1500 per year - which today is almost useless!!!!!!!!! There is a more expensive dental insurance which is and 80/20 plan - you pay 20% and the insurance pays 80%!!!!!!
If you live near a dental school - they will give you a HUGE discount - as their students (the ones graduating very soon - NOT beginners) will do your dental work!!!!!!!
My dental insurance is only 8/month. It pays 2000 per year. Well I spent 10k last year. And Ill spend 10 this year. I should took better care huh? Wouldn't have mattered. Some people just have bad luck. My wife is 62. She has NEVER had a cavity. I hate her, haha
I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat.
Jeff Schwartz the dental school here is not cheap and it sux. It cost $80 cash in the door then for and extraction another $90 not including if you need it cut or if it's hard to get out or if you need gas or anything. Also I went to have a bad tooth out a couple yrs ago and the kid seriously gave me like 22 xray. That's not exaggerating. I left after that and was sick for 4 months and my throat was so sore for so long. It was aweful I was so young I didn't know what was going on or if it was normal or what. I wish I'd been older and more knowledgeable then as i am now or id have stopped him or atleast made them pay for me a dr and make sure theres no damage done from the xrays. Also my fiancee went awhile back and they left part of a tooth in after the extraction along w almost every person I know has had horrible experiences going there.
Man, you were a babe 10 years ago. Holy shit!!!
If you or spouse are in the Army, there's something called an AER loan . There is no interest, it's an extremely low payment, (whatever you're comfortable with) it goes for the extent of your contract, and it just comes out of your paycheck.
By the way, I just want to thank you for all your videos. They've been so helpful! I've been watching so many videos for the last week or so. And I'm more excited than nervous to start my journey now! 😀
Living in MASS. Usually if you can find a DENTAL SCHOOL, they give you half off.
The students are highly supervised. Grad. Students also participated with less supervision (less of a discount)
Have people contact their state dental colleges for locations and procedures.
I love the video on how anyone can afford dental work with some awesome tips you have. That's true that many American's can't afford dental work. Im stil waiting on my biopsy on my gums which is $500 which I can't afford right now. I will be on a paymen't plan to help pay for that. Im saving money on it right now so I can get that done. I like your tip on saving little money each week as a backup, and eventually it will grow each month. I got to keep that in mind. Thanks for posting.
I know it may be hard decision to make, but it's a good option to go abroad to make dentures. In Europe prices are much, MUCH lower - from 500$ to 1200$ per denture, depending on what you prefer. Same with implants, there's a major difference in price, but no difference in quality.
The most expensive is the flight itself (~700-1500$, back and forth).
My family in US always do their dental work in Europe, but it's hard to make it that way if you have small kids etc.
If I was able to afford to fly to another country, I would just get my dentures in the U.S.
@@Music-qq9yd Some folks live near the Mexico border, and go there. You park and walk across the border for services.
Sometimes organizations called "Attitude & Attire " for indigent women who need dental care so you can get a job. They had pro-bono dental offices do free services.
You are a strong woman ‘
My dentist worked with me and was very affordable less than 2000.00 and they are wonderful teeth
I live in Oklahoma, I applied to be a patient in the OU, they called me a week later, scheduled an appointment for in two weeks, next Tuesday, Nov, the 15th is going to be the appointment. I'm very excited ! I just hope they do all on 4. The exam and scans is $29. And I need to be able to pay at least $100 a month. Seems doable to me ! I will update after the first appointment.
Wendy Robison, thank you for asking. I went there, they checked my teeth, were really impressed I knew about all on 4, said in my situation it would be the best choice. But student don't do it due to complicity of the procedure. They told me that graduates do and you can only sign up on January, 4th and hope to God they haven't filled all the spots yet. So I called right at 8, got signed up, Feb, the 15th is my appointment where a specialist and the graduate will examine me for it, that's when I'll know if I'm accepted. Fingers crossed........ Remind me to update after that !
Oksana W what ever happened? I have been to the same place at ou dental school and was thinking about doing this same thing.
Update, please!
@@oksanaw5903 update please!
I want to sexton dental clinic Florence South Carolina November 14th 2015. I've got exam full x-ray 7 expansions and full upper denture $410. and a prescription I went to the pharmacy I needed pain pills and antibiotic $25 love my new upper denture. gums are still a little tender all in all doing well.
Sexton is a great & very affordable place. I've had work done there many times. BUT get there early or longgg wait to get dental work done if you are a walk in/emergency case.
Update? My mother needs dentures soon and she lives 50 miles from it
I am in Colleton county SC did you have insurance with that? or was that straight pay message me on here if you can to reply if you get this
I went to sexton dental and they messed my dentures all up
doris Johnson how many teeth did you have to get out and did the price cover them extracting the teeth? Also do u have insurance and is there updates good or bad since then
Our community has pro-bono dental care for all who need it. It's readily available through the Public Assistance Department. They base everything on your income.
Thank You Girl !
@knit44 Yes you would definitely be surprised at how much you can rack up here and there. Like, for instance- you need $500. If you could save $100 a month, or, $25 a week, you would have it in 5 months. I like to break savings up weekly. So for instance, if you spend $100 on groceries weekly, all you need to do is find ways to buy cheaper brands and save up that extra $25 every week- like paying yourself. I am a BIG coffee drinker and cannot tell the difference between Maxwell House and
I would recommend people looking into dental lifeline network I am disabled and could not afford even discount dental work I went online filled out their application and within 10 days I got a call back that I was approved and they went ahead and found a dentist that would do the work free of charge dental lifeline has a network of dentists who volunteer their time and equipment
jeff cole if you dont mind I've got some questions about this place or company. Do you know if it's just in 1 state or anything. I'm also disabled and need a total of 4 back teeth and for sure 2 wisdom teeth. I didn't have room for my wisdom teeth and they crushed the tooth in front of each that came in. I was deemed disabled 2 yrs ago in Dec and I don't get a check or even any insurance. Which is crazy if you ask me. I'm so tired of fighting to try and live it's rediculous so the tooth problem is just icing on the cake at this point and had me in so much pain for almost a month I couldn't get out of bed and since no insurance and no check paying the outrageous price for a dr even for antibiotics is really hard. Shoot I need a dr so bad it's not even funny. I can't even get a dr to see me to get me on blood pressure meds and my heart being so bad is 1 reason they deemed me disabled. Along with RA Lupus and fibro myalgia I'm in constant pain, my organs are getting damaged from the disease, and it causes teeth to go bad also. So any tips on getting this dental place your talking about to help in my situation would be great. I know some like medicaid won't even work with me bc I don't get a check which really makes no sense bc it's for poverty level people and I'm at $0 lol I think that's poverty level lol but who knows right lol. Anyway sorry for such a long message just wanted to give as much as I could to you since you've dealt with them and disability and might already know if it's useless for me to even call them at all with $0 income. Or if it matters to them an bc I am disabled if they would try help me anyway. Thank you for posting about them so people can get some help even if I can't though.
Do you have to be disabled in order for them to help you
jeff cole thank you so much for the info.I got in touch with them wish me luck.
But do I have to have a Disability !!!
Im in Florida too.... It's called Project dental. Also you can go to community colleges for inexpensive cleanings. Colleges that have hygene programs.
I spent over 20k in 10yrs on root canals and crowns which all started to fail in 2016 when I was 31 after moving from Florida to Kansas. January 2017 I had all my top teeth removed and all but 2 bottom teeth removed. Medicaid paid for the teeth removal and bottom partial. I went to Affordable Dentures and paid $1k using Care Credit for top tier Denture which included Temp Denture and 7yr warranty. I've lost a lot of bone and tissue on my upper almost 2yrs later, as when I sleep my two remaining teeth cause me to clench at night when both denture and partial removed. Both my grandma and mother have implants but they didn't need until in their 50s. I'm allergic to Denture Adhesive so implants are becoming a necessity. After getting several consults for implants I found Affordable Dentures and other places like Clear Choice should be avoided. Also do not get mini implants on the Upper as the bone is too soft and they will eventually fail. Every consult Implant Specialist advised me this. I ended up going to a consult with a local Dentist who works with an Oral Surgeon for Implants. My consult isn't until October 30th, 2018 with the Oral Surgeon to get the approval for the treatment plan. Both offices take Care Credit which I have but not enough credit to pay for the entire service. I learned about Green Sky which both offices take and was approved for 14k with fixed 14.99% APR paid over 80 months. The expected cost of 4 on 4 upper with the top of the line Denture and two lower Anchor implants to snap in my bottom partial securely is 10k to 14k. 4 on 4 is a non removed Denture that is screwed in to the implants and only taken off by dentist every so many months for special cleaning. Affordable Dentures treatment plan was only for 4 upper full implants in the front due to bone loss. They would modify my original top Denture to be a snap in but not removing the palate and it would still feel unsecure while eating because no support towards the back. I was told $5600 from them and quickly discussed with my family which we all agreed if I was going to be spending that much I should go all the way to what makes me healthiest and most confident. I plan on Vlogging my journey as well. I have my moms dental insurance statements from the same Oral Surgeon as the allowed amount they can charge her dental insurance and plan on using that when negotiating my treatment plan cost. Kansas is going to be different compared to other states so I highly recommend finding someone in your state with Dental Insurance if your Self pay so you can negotiate your cost down. Pricing of implants has been decreasing, more private dental insurances pay 50% cost of implants but Medicaid does not pay for anything except routine Adult Dental visits like cleaning, fillings X-rays and extractions in most States. Goodluck everyone and Thank you KalinJax for all your videos. I actually fly into Jacksonville often bc of my Custody battle for my son. My sons father and I lived in Jax together many years but I am orginally from Gainesville. Go Gators!
thanks for the advise, my teeth are crumbling away due to the anxiety meds im on and I need my teeth fixed.
Thank you for this video.My situation is a lot like yours in that I didn't go to the dentist because I couldn't afford it and now I have a mouth that is in sad shape.
Thanks for the 211 number and all of your advice. Your a blessing.
Thanks for during the video
Wow! So informative. Beautiful and smart. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for all your videos. I am getting my extractions net week. I am less terrified than I was about the procedure. I made a video and uploaded it because of your videos. I am empowered. I am woman here me roar. You are beautiful, and your teeth look perfect. I am now excited about the future., Again, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Coriel
Chica Gray how did your teeth turn out?!
You should be very proud of yourself, I am -very proud of you! Your story is like mine except for the kindness of that dentist of yours.
Thats awesome! I feel the same way!
Here in Harris county, Texas, houston,tx, we have nurmerous charity and government programs to help or in many time pay for your dental work for those on a fixed income, some of those charities are Harris county hospial district, all you have to do is qualify for a "gold card" which is like a county run insurance plan, another is called San Jose Clinic which is a non profit charity that has doctors and dentist that volunteer there time and services.those are just some of many in my area
Is there a hub where all those nonprofits are listed?
thank you for that information
the name of the charitable group is "Good Samaraitan". Volunteer dentists and staff.
This is good advice you put out. I will refer to that for now on. Im having money trouble and I work at a grocery store that I make $7.25 an hour. That will help me a lot. Thanks.
I just want to say thank you, the video of you and your husband was great. I'm on day three with my new denture I'm a 52 year old man that as hated my smile and all the pain that I have dealt with for at least 30 years but I am still scared and ashamed and very f****** sore. you give me hope and inspiration and also let me know that I am obviously not the only one that is dealing with this. peace and love to your family
Well here in new Zealand we have benefits and the hospital does cheap extractions with a community services card and I had my dentures paid by social welfare department and I'm not sure if you have over there in the USA like a benefits for the unemployed or sickness or pension I really like watching your channel so I was glad to get my dentures realignment done top plate fitting perfectly and no more wisdom tooth popping in and out of my gums and I got it out an it stopped the pain and its good to have teeth and smile again too
Another tip: dental school, if your state has one. Creighton dental school in Omaha NE is awesome and you don't have to be from Nebraska to go. You have to call to be put on a waiting list, it takes about 2 weeks, and then you have to go to have a few xrays taken to see if they will accept you, but if they do then you can get work done for super cheap. The only caveat: when you do go in for an appointment, it takes half a day, because they are students they do go a lot slower.
You can also get work done at a dental school for a lot less and they do an amazing job. My friend just got it done there.
mascottie, do any dental schools do all on 4 ? Or do you know ?
Oksana W Have no idea. You can look up nearby dental schools in your area and call them
This is a sad state of affairs. fluoride in the water...dentists still using fluoride, Florida in children's toothpaste..should be a crime. no wonder everyone has tooth decay ......I'm 63 my mouth always hurts and I'm miserable .....I have no back teeth on top both sides and no hope of affording dental work....and I just can't see myself begging anyone for help
Delaware has no fluoride in the wells downstate and those folks have TERRIBLE teeth.
Thank you. I recently was awarded my disability/medicaid, but haven't received my paperwork yet....I haven't been able to work for 6 years with NO income., depending on family and friends. I lost all my teeth immediately after having surgery on my esophagus.
There's a place called "Change" in WV and Ohio that will base fees on income. I'm not sure if they're in other states. I've gone to dental schools. What sucked was you can't always schedule. some work on a walk in basis only. You could be there for hours. If you have poor insurance that doesn't cover some procedures or no insurance at all it's better than nothing.
Comfort dental is also awesome about it. I had to get 2 crowns on the bottom so besides getting a top denture I needed a partial on the bottom. I paid cash for the crowns $1400. They let me make payments on them.once they were paid in full they did the work
Great video thank you.
I am also having to neglect my dental because of the rediculous costs
I am going to a dentist in Clarksville, Tn - who uses a sliding scale it was $25 per tooth extracted (email me for link/ address) and I have several more to go!

So I'm going to call then and see if they could do the extractions for cheaper then the norm..I will drop back in, a future date and let you know how everything went, Wish me luck on my denture adventure ha, hopefully I will find a smile at the end of it (:
If you live in Indiana and are on Medicaid they will pay for dentures. Thank God for that. I'm going through the process right now but I'm doing the wait until my gums heal to get the dentures. It's hard to go without teeth but I'd rather have them fit good to begin with than go through a lot of changes. Thanks for doing this - you're a help for a lot of people.
Gotta be a crook or gangster or connected to get your teeth fixed in america. This country is not right. People suffering viciously vigorously and vehemently. Need to rob a bank go directly to Dentist and get your teeth done then go to jail. At least you will be able to chew and have good teeth while there. Going to be the only place to afford to live soon. Get work release from jail and your good to go.
Hey There Kalinjax!!!
Had extractions (14) on 6/7, had bone edge removed on 6/27 and now waiting to get my impressions 8/22. So frustrated as it seems like they're stringing me along!! So want some fried chicken and quesadillas but I'm tied to soft foods for a few more weeks! All is going well, gums are healing wonderfully though! I'm kinda wondering if the chemo I had almost a year ago for lymphoma had something to do with the need for some of these extractions? I'm feeling much better now and am free of treatment as of May 8!! Thank you and others for creating a space to share your experiences and give us hope for a brighter smile in the future!!
Any city with a dental school will always give discounts for certain procedures .Just go in and ask question about your specific problem and what it will cost.
There's like one place in Delaware which helps. And there's also a 7 months waiting list. I've paid for 6 root canals these past 2 years. Each was around 1500 just as much as a crown. I can't afford the crowns. So, I keep paying for fillings each month it seems. If any one knows of any places I can go please post!
go to Hungary, they will di ur teeth real chep and good quality, 10-20X cheaper the USA. In Hungary the average salary is 4-500usd/month after taxes, that explaines the cheap prices, but the quality is very good!

In New Zealand there is a place called the peoples centre, and if you work with them then they can give you a quote for work and income. Work and income only provide $300nz per year for tooth problems but they can advance you a loan which you pay back at like $10 per week. My quote to have my teeth out and dentures is total $2500 (nz). I know this doesn't help anyone but people in NZ, but I figure if there is anyone from New Zealand its worth it to know this information :)
MordSithJ9 I wish the USA offered such a program. I'm on a fixed income and could make a payment like $10 a week, no interest. I have no one I can barrow from but I would be more than happy to make payments. Then I could truly get what I want and not have to settle for something else. 👍🏻
Knock off pepsie and know off cigarettes still influence ones dental condition. Soda is probably the worst thing one can consume regarding dental health. Cigrits are a close second.
Edward Dergosits haha, I call them cigrits!
I make minimum wage work my ass off and I did the sliding scale it cost me 372 dollars for top and bottom haven't gotten them yet but going in for the bite tomorrow
bigedkc 01 where do you live? I live in Denton Texas and have not been able to find any resources
University at Buffalo dental school...has a program..sliding scale..---
US fucking awesome country-How could the dental work cost so much and how could this glorious country leaves their people to die from rotten tooth. Even the worst-case scenario with lowest income can afford basic work like fillings,crowns and extractions in Bulgaria.We are poor country and everyone who works legal work have insurance for 2 filling and one extraction and as well this basic work do not cost that much . For instance one extraction cost 15-20 $ .If you can buy a cheap pants or shirt you can easily afford filling extraction. I am just angry to hear that there is suck cruel place. In my country considered as bad medicine if you go in state policlinic i am almost sure they will not leave you to die.
Иван Илиев I got quoted $200 a filling with no insurance. It's bullshit.
the high cost of dentists is why mine are so bad . i had insurance and got my front teeth bonded about 17 yrs ago and was suposed to have to touched up every 5 yrs and didn't have insurance and they wanted like $2500 for the touch up eventually it chipped and my teeth fell like a house of cards .
Иван Илиев I completely agree. I moved to a new state last June. I didn't understand why so many people were walking around with rotten teeth and some missing. Even Medicaid doesn't cover dental unless it's an emergency. so if your tooth is rotting out of your face, tough. The dentist won't take your insurance until it's a life threatening abscess. Disgusting! This is people's self worth and health on the line. I have insurance but it's crap. If I have a preexisting condition insurance doesn't cover it. I feel like it should be affordable or free. I've see people who were devastated they get turned away for care. They have to live and feel like crap because they can't afford 150-200 a tooth. that's a filling. Something needs to change.
You are right, this is supposed to be such a great country, but our health and dental care sucks big time. We have the expertise. but the greed is unbearable. The poor pay taxes and then get the shaft. We pay the highest amounts for health and dental, yet we can not afford to take advantage of using it, I pay $65 a month every month for dental, and one dentist will send you to a periodontist and he will send you to a orthodontist, next thing you know nothing is done and you have exhausted your lousy $1500 n insurance payments, might be better off keeping that $65 a month in the bank and pay cash to the stinking dentist.

I will put the link in the description box, can't put it in comments.....
I couldn't afford to fix my teeth so I went to Costa Rica and had them done. I was also able to keep most of my teeth whereas the U.S. dentists wanted to pull all my teeth and give me the All-On-4 solution. Surprisingly the dentist I went to in Costa Rica was way more experienced and had advanced CAD/CAM technology on site. In less than 2 weeks I got 8 implants, and had the rest of my teeth prepared for crowns and then several sets of temporaries were made. I also had bone grafts and PRP (plasma rich protein made from my own blood), and I chose I.V. sedation because I wanted to sleep through it all. I will have one more implant when i go back in 5-6 months for permanent crowns. I'm getting 24 zirconia crowns. No one should have all their teeth pulled to save money, which is what I was facing. So with all the airfare, hotels, rain forest tours, eating out, dental bills I am still paying less than 1/4 what I was quoted for only having my upper teeth done....and I get to keep most of my teeth (but they will have crowns). I stayed at the hotel above the clinic (Casa Marco.) The staff is English speaking and very helpful. I love being able to smile again and it will be even better with my permanent teeth.
Dianna DeCicco Wow... You are absolutely right....I wish I had this information beforehand.
in general, eastern europe, very good qulity, cheap prices. In Hungary they will do all 28 teeth, removal and implants with bridges for 12.000 usd. Only 1 implant is 600usd. If u live and work in Hungary u will pay 25usd automatically for the social insurance, and for that u can access all the healthcare. Ex: root canal treatment is free, or 60usd in private, surgical extraction are free for everyone, or 70usd in private , fillings are free or 25usd in private, implants are not free, its 600usd for one, huge discount though if u need many, crowns are not free, they are 80usd, general cleaning all ur teeth is free 2x a year or 40usd in private. It is worth to go in a hotel, or u can even rent a whole apartement, outside of the capital city u can rent one for 200usd/month, go in june-to august and u will have a hot sommer with all the open swimming pools too. 50.000usd for a feckin dentures.....omg, and they are not even really permanent and u need all the care every 4 months....? omg!!! u can have implants for way way cheaper, and they are for forever! and even if u started to loose bone they can fix it for just a bit more price. If u live in Hungary and u know the dentist for years they even do all the extraction and all ur 28 teeth implants for 8000usd!!!!
I've been told five of my upper front teeth need to be surgically removed because decay has gotten underneath a bridge. I was quoted a price of $20K to 30K. Can you give an exact cost of yours?
How are you feeling now?
Not trying to sound rude but every time l hear stories like yours l feel most people can't relate to your excursions to Costa Rica because most of us can't afford to take a trip out side of the U.S. and we never hear any amounts that was spent( or is still considered in poor taste and class less to discuss actual amounts... right...) l know every case is different.... right
I think dental colleges or Universities that have dental programs may have volunteer programs where they supply free dental to help those in dental school get experience. Usually any trade may have a volunteer program
Yes they do. But then you must ask yourself. Do l want to be a guinea pig to these very young inexperienced students???
+alberto ciulini they are always with professionals and usually the students just watch
Kitchguy, yup ! I applied to one and next Tuesday I have an appointment with the OU ! Even if it's a student doing the job, the professional is right there next to you ! They won't let the students do anything wrong.
Any updates? How's your progress? Thanks :)
Sherry Anne , nothing. it's still outrageously expensive. I had to cancel everything. they "only" charge 70 or 80% of the regular price and you have to put down like $8.000 as a down payment.
wow makes me realise how lucky I am to live in the UK!! if I had to pay 4 mine I'd never afford it and God nos where I'd end up my theeth are already that bad my dentist had to referred me to the hospital to be put under and have the extractions as he can't do them himself, so I couldn't imagine how much pain I'd be in or how ill I'd end up with constant infection (in another yrs time) if I couldn't have the work done!! I feel so bad for anyone forced into that situation because of money

First of all, let me start of with saying I really enjoyed your video's. I have my mind set on getting dentures now.. But Like so many.. The price puts a hamper on it. Extracting a tooth cost by it self 51 bucks if I get a insurance plan, And I need all of mine out. Like you said in another video, your parents did not take you to the dentist as a kid, I feel your pain.. Mine did not take me either, so now I'm up "bleep" creek with out a paddle.. Never even knew about 211, went online and found
There are many dentists and post graduate doctors and dentist who were migrated to canada in the name of fsw. Many of them are just waiting to get into the workforce because of regulatory bodies. Even they cannot work and do some voluntary work in a healthy way by getting legally involved by Canadian health schemes. It is shameful for a citizen and residents of developed countries to be in a position of unable to avail treatments and just because of some lobby oriented regulatory boards.
Help those fsw to work for the people at least in a voluntary non profit way.
Darn, my dentists gave me estimates (2) one for $10k and one for $15k. I have to shop around and also there is a dental school that works on people, in my area )PA.
I went to some joker here in Amish County, Pa where I lived and he quoted me over 30 thousand dollars. Get the Hell out of here! If you are near Philly, go to Temple or U of Penn dental school. Or there is a clinic in Amish Country that does some work pretty cheap.
????????????????
So cute
I have medical & they cover full dentures only. Which they did for my mom. I need only 2 teeth and the dentist said medical won't cover. :(
any program available in Texas for low-income, single moms?
can you tell us your facebook page to get updated video's? thanks
She really wasn't being sarcastic:-)
I need dental work and medicaid only pays 750 dollars
I struck out entirely. After watching your video today and going through all the comments I spent the day tracking down each lead. Dental charity, Dental lifeline network, need help paying bills dot com, ect and for one reason or another I didn't qualify. Some programs were available but in other states not Calif. one had a program here but was only available in one county. Seriously they only offer help in one county in the entire state of CA. If there are any other suggestions please let me know.
medcaid here in Texas, sends you to low dental work, at first I had to get my teeth dine from a plane crash,then I had gotten chaps then great dentist did my top dentures they were great ones,then my chaps came off after over the time frame he said,then I went to a quack,and wore badly made dentures for three yrs,three sets were made,I am on SSI now and I do not even have a car ,and now they sent me to a dentist that made me new dentures they are cheap and now I'm told I have no none left.Just saying it's not all it's cracked up to any good dentures. I feel really bad I can't eat and my mouth hurts ,just thought I would give you some input on the dentures made here for you in Texas.
There is this attitude in the US dental work, especially dentures is a cosmetic luxury, not a medical health need. Every kid who needs brace should be able to get them so using dental floss isn't a struggle My teeth ended up so tightly crowded even a dentist has to work to get floss in between them. AFAIK the ACA/Obamacare doesn't address dental care. In the event I live within a reasonable driving distance of the Canadian & Mexican borders I'd look into those countries for services. Either way it's a 24 hour plus drive for me & probably not practical in the long run, unless your hauling down a car load of family for dental work.
+waswestkan Look into SEXTONS in Florence SC....for under $300 you will be gorgeous ! They cater to the 'poor'.
+LambsSlayDragons Can you tell me a bit more about this place in SC you mentioned? I'm in Gastonia, NC (15 miles outside of Charlotte). I have no insurance & no income at the moment. so "poor" as you stated. I suffer from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) & need extensive restoration due to the damage this disease has caused my teeth. I can't do dentures because of this disease either. I'm looking into implant surgery. I already have 1 implant from years ago. If you have anymore info on a place in reasonable driving distance that'd be great. Thx in advance.
Any updates on sextons clinic? It's hard to find reviews on it online and reviews are mixed to say the least, but people around here have gone there since I live an hour from the facility. Asking for my elderly mother
Ashley,
Can I ask why you were unable to get dentures? I am asking because I have struggled with an eating disorder for years and have done extensive damage to my teeth! Now I’m looking into getting dentures and your comment is freaking me out!
Are you still doing videos in 2015? I have a major issue.lol
Yes look at Her recent videos. A lot of useful information.
I have state medical so I'm scared mine won't look as good as yours I havnt fully been told I have to get them yet but they called me saying my teeth were to bad to hold caps so I no tomarow this is Wat they will say what kind do u have
what are the name of the dentures that you are wearing? I like the color and how natural they look. I am having 26 teeth removed next month and then waiting the 8 weeks for healing to get dentures.
I on disability and I'm having hip surgery and they pulled most of my teeth. I really need help getting some dentures. anyone knowing where you can get help in Georgia

Sliding scale payment. I paid $35 each quarter scaling done. Total cost for whole mouth $140 instead of $1,100 !!
like ur vedio u gave alot of good info for people need dental help I just went thur this with my 30yr old son he was going thur tooth ache pain every dentist he called said they had a payment plan but when he went in for 1st apt he told he need half money on his next apt then rest when they pulled his teeth and put dentures he tryed almost evey dentist in town even dental school and all told him same thing he went yrs with bad teeth so I deside get him dental inc and I had to apply to care credit to take care of rest it cost 6.500 for his work inc paid half and we have to cover 2.600 it suck because so hard to find dental help for people cant afford it one dentist gave price of 17.000 which I knew no way I could do but will say this if you have bad teeth get them look at and taking care i never knew my son were so bad but he hid it for yrs dentist said if he would not got fix in prob 6 months he could die and I did not want that
It's so shady that Medicaid won't cover dental for adults and regular dental insurance caps out at 2K when dental health directly affects the rest of your body health.
IF I went to a dentist's and I didn't like my teeth and I paided what the best dentures cost at another dentists what can I do about it
