I am a broke disabled veteran in desperate need of dental insurance where do I turn to?

Where do we as Iraq war veterans turn to when we need dental care? I have no money, work very little and have a young daughter to support. The Department of Veterans Affairs offers us no dental coverage as a disabled veteran because I am not 100% disabled. I can't afford to pay out of pocket and have done my research and it seems that this is a problem that people care very little about. I have an abcess and a decayed toothe that needs to be pulled what do I do? Please anyone I am in desperate need of some answers.

Currently the VA only offers Dental coverage for service connected issues or 100% rated veterans. I'm sorry to say that you'll probably have to find a dentist or oral surgeon who will preform the work with a promise of payment, may not be easy to find. I don't know if you qualify for Medical assistance in your area? That might be an option but each state is different.


Couple things to do on the tooth... Rinse your mouth with warm water and salt or baking soda together. This is not going to fix your problem but it may give you some relief. Also look into getting some Oil of Clove at a local health food store and use a tooth pick to put a little around the site of the tooth, inexpensive and may offer temporary relief. If you smoke or chew try to back off till about a week after the tooth is pulled. Good luck!
Reply:I am not sure how you would get dental insurance but I can give you following information. Hopefully it helps.call your state dental society and local dental society. Some state dental societies have list of dentist that enroll in a program called "donated dental services". These dentist will perform all treatment at no charge.





If you are in california contact Tahira Bazile, CDA community health coordinator, at 800.CDA.SMILE (232.7645), Ext. 4971
Reply:you can call your local dentist association and ask if know of anyone who performs donated services? or one who will work on a monthly payment arrangement.


ya know for practical experience if you have a school that teaches dentistry nearby maybe you can work out a deal with the instructor to allow him to work on your teeth.


As for the pain, you can rinse the area with warm salt water to ease the pain. or by using a toothpick place some oil of clove on the effected area.
