Unfortunate circumstances, high dollar dental needs, everything that goes along with that situation.  Broken teeth, most assuredly gum disease, ....frankly, a bad situation.

I ended up having to go to the dentist to fill my 8 cavities, and I couldn't believe I had gingivitis, too!  I paid for it using "chase health advance" - good for absolute emergencies, it's basically a credit card but you get up to 24 months to pay off your balance interest free.  If you can afford large monthly payments it may help you.  But please, don't do that.  

Instead, try something more natural with no chemicals.  I've felt 2 cavities return, and my  gum disease came back, so instead of going back to the dentist I did some research:

I found out that fluoride in toothpaste actually eats away at your enamel (as well as your bones when you drink it!)  Look it up!  And there's a coating in toothpaste that prevents your body from naturally restoring it's enamel, so you should BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITH SOAP!  That way you can thoroughly rinse off any residue and your body, if properly nurtured, can restore your enamel.  You need calcuim in your diet.

I personally recommend "Dr. Bronner's" soap, they're 100% natural and organic, and if you get peppermint then it feels more like toothpaste you're used to.  You only need a tiny bit because it's very concentrated, just be sure to rinse out your mouth 3 times after brushing.

Using this method, my gums have gotten tighter, more red and healthier looking; my teeth have gotten whiter and my cavities no longer hurt!  PLEASE give it some consideration!  I hope it helps you!!! 

Good day, 

I just discovered this website and hope that someone can help me; I have recently gotten laid off and am not certain if I even have insurance, unfortunately most of the jobs I have chosen did not provide dental; Which has become a serious problem, I have serious gum disease to the point where I am scared that my bottom teeth will one day fall out; I am so terrified and don't know where to turn,  

If there are any programs that you suggest or dentists that you know of in NYC please let me know

Thank you so much in advance

I have a serious dental problem. I have avoided going to dentists where I live on Tenerife because I simply don't have the money. I am in the very low income bracket and have enough for my rent and basic living expenses.

I have suffered gum disease problems in the past before I moved here fom the UK at the end of 2004 and had had a lot of work on the NHS done to my mouth including several crowns and many fillings.

Unfortunately many months back a filling in a wisdom tooth has come out and took with it most of the tooth leaving a hole into the root and some jagged tooth but seeing as it was causing no pain I didn't worry about it too much. That was many months back. Now the molars next to it have become loose. I have two loose molars on the upper jaw on the other side too and a loose tooth in the front that has been like it even before I moved here.

The loose teeth on the one side have become inflamed and I am having to eat on the other. As far as I can tell from websites I have advanced periodontal disease. I know any dentist I see is going to recommend implants, possible bridge on the one side or dentures and I know I will not be able to afford any of these treatments. Whatever I do it appears I am going to lose several teeth.

It is all very worrying!
