Where can you get dental care for the very poor adult?

My mother needs dental care due to having severe acid reflux.She had a beautiful smile.She contracted a stomach virus and vomited several times,the acid from her stomach deteriated her right front tooth.She has half or less of it left.We live in Anniston,Alabama.My mother is on SSI which doesn't pay for the dental work she needs.Like veneers or somthing along those lines.We would love to see our mother smile again.

Where can you get dental care for the very poor adult?
Since she is on SSI she should qualify for Medicare or Medical (It might be called something else if you are in another state). A last resort would be something like Western Dental- where they have payment plans, but there dentists are not the best. Has she seen her regular dentist? There is not hurt in calling and asking how much something is and if they accept payment plans.
Reply:I suggest looking for a free clinic in your area. Most places have them.





To have the best smile in less time and less money spent, dentures are the key. Dentures can be beautiful.





Consider a dental school if she has time to be a test subject.





Medicaid should help her too however it can be hard to find a dentist who takes medicaid because the states do not reimburse dentists well enough for them to take medicaid.





keep smiling.
