I am in desperate need of dental work to the point I am in constant pain. Because I receive a modest pension I am not eligible for medical assistance or free dental care at the clinic. My teeth are breaking apart and look horrific hindering my job search for things that I more then qualified for. The last time I was able to go to the clinic for an emergency service the dentist there that day actually suggested I was on crack. I was humiliated and so angered by it I sat there and cried silently. PLEASE if there is any resources out the assist me I would appreciate the information. Thank you!

Have you tried dental schools in your area?

Yes, Dental schools would be a good choice but there will be some costs involved.

Unfortunately there are no dental schools in my area, the nearest would either be Phila or Hershey/Harrisburg. Both are 1-2 hours away which would not be work considering I usually don't fair very well after dental sugery.

Perhaps you could get someone to drive you? I'm afraid the Dental school may be your only choice unless there is a government program you aren't aware of. You'll have to make some calls to find out. Maybe a dental office might be able to point you in the right direction.
