I am a 28 year old single mother of two. I need a lot of dental work and I have no dental insurance and cannot afford to have this work done. Almost all of my teeth are broken down to the gum and they always hurt. I think what hurts most is that I cannot smile or laugh anymore. I hate talking face to face with people and would really rather not do it at all. I always try to find a way to hide my mouth. What can I do? Is there any special programs or any one that can help me? I live in Nashville TN.

If you are under income levels, and can get into the TENNCARE state program, they cover dental work.

Also you basically get it fixed one tooth at a time if you can't afford anything else.

I do have Tenncare but they only cover under the age of 21.
