There is no where for the poor and needy to turn... I know stories like this are posted all the time, but I am at the end of my rope.  I  am a 42 year old widow with a heart defect, 2 children under 18 and no insurance, I am in dire need of dental service so I can smile, possibly work and chew again. My back teeth are gone (possibly partials?). Of the front teeth most need some form of work ranging from filling to one that needs replacement. I have always made sure my children had everything, including good dental care, all the while putting off dental and medical care for myself.  I would do anything to be able to get this work done. I literally cannot even look in the mirror without crying and I am in constant pain. I could pay in small installments but cannot get financing. My husband took out 3 credit cards in my name and defaulted on them. I did not find this out until after he passed away and I tried to get financing to have him cremated. I was refused. After years of an abusive marriage I thought I could finally make a life for myself and my children.  I was wrong.  Because of my teeth even jobs I could do with my heart defect I cannot get hired for. My only income is SS Survivor's benefits. I have been to the county health department and they will only extract teeth.  Having this work done would literally change my whole life and allow me to work and support my children.  Any help you could provide would be an incredible assistance.  Please help!   Because of my heart defect and fibromyalgia I am essentially disabled, but FL is not accepting any further applications for Donated Dental Services so please, do you know anywhere to turn to?  What do I do now when the very program meant to help me turns me away?  UFL has told me there is a 3 year wait for an appointment and even if I COULD wait 3 years I doubt I would ever be able to come up with that amount of money at one time.  I have been down every avenue that I and others can think of.  Please PLEASE if there is any way at all anyone could help?  I would do anything, answer phones, clean office or home for free for as long as needed and be forever grateful.

Cassie-

 Thanks for the information, but I will advise that people not use fluoride.

Namaste-Anora

Health Care Officials call for an end to water fluoridation

The Aburdities of fluoridation

This is difficult to swallow (no pun intended)!  Sorry but there are so many people drinking soda that we would see MANY people with black teeth.  Further, there wouldn't be just one dentist warning about it.  My dentist who I've been going to for 15 years and hasn't yet stopped lecturing me about tooth health and brushing/flossing has NEVER ONCE mentioned mountain dew or any soft drink and damage to teeth, let alone black teeth.  Sorry, can't buy this.  Please cite a source or point the reader to some sort of supporting evidence for "soda damages teeth and ultimately causes them to fall out".

Wow. I wasnt aware mt dew was thhhhaaaatttt bad. I'll deffianately think twice about what I am drinking-- Thanks for the info!!

mt dew has afforded me a new set of dentures at the ripe ol age of 32 and trust me, the dental community is not feeling very sympathetic :(((((( i cant even wear the fake teeth

I am working a free clinic this weekend and wanted to share some of my experience. Unfortunately, it's been a little cold and wet, yet people stood for hours to get care. We begin treatment in our clinics at 8am, but people were waiting at 1am. For hours they have stood in the cold and rain, hungry with feet hurting. As I walked down the line to offer encouragement, my heart cried. Dental pain is one of the most horrific pains (I've given birth to four kids) you could experience. I wonder why things can't be different. I've been on the road for years working for free because that is how much I believe in what I am doing. My family of six has cut costs by sharing a one bedroom so that we could 'afford' to lose my salary. Yes, things are getting better, a lot better in dentistry. Many of us believe we have a responsibility to those in our communities and are working to make sure they receive care. Yet I am still in a corner crying as I see suffering. For those that believe people with dental problems should take better care of their teeth, be careful what you judge. By grace, it's not you. For those of you in pain, know that people want to change that and are trying very hard. I was born into dental ignorance and I haven't forgotten from where I came.

Cassie, I am in the real estate industry and having a hard time here in N. CA, Sonoma Co. and wondering if you know of any low/no cost help for dental services in this area?

 Thanks again for the info on Mtn. Dew.

NC MPACT serves to provide resources, treatment and education for those in need and act as advocate or liaison where necessary to those in the US. We MUST have your help in one or more of the following ways:

• Write your side of the story. Why are you in need of care? What has been your experience in the past? What kind of care do you need? This is invaluable when we are making pleas for help. We have to market the need.
• If you have received help, submit your story.
• Make a small donation. $5
• Buy a year supply of Oral-B toothbrushes for $10 postage paid.
• Get professional strength tooth whitening for only $75

ACT FAST! NCMPACT would rather spend time helping people than raising funds or preparing marketing materials.

Appreciation beyond measure.

Reply to Cassie Minor:--I watched a tv special about a group of people that live in the appalachian area, I forgot the name of the town, Almost the entire community had teeth that were rotted down to the gums because of Mountain Dew. The strange part of that story was that all these people were or are dirt poor and for some reason the poorer the community the more mountain dew and the worse teeth. I don't quite get the correlation between poverty and Mt Dew, why not diet coke or pepsi or any other soda, why just Mt Dew? Your info is invaluable to us here on aidpage though, we have so many people come through here with few if any teeth and suffering from constant mouth pain and any dental hygiene info is fabulous. Thankyou for posting all these resources. sheshe030

Purchase toothbrushes  or whitening

Get the word out. Tell everyone you know to get involved.

No one should suffer with untreated dental disease.

I will illustrate the importance of regular dental visits.

A. You purchase a new car and faithfully change the oil, have tune-ups and otherwise are careful to get the car maintenanced regularly. (This represents the person that has been fortunate to go to the dentist as recommended throughout life)

B. You purchase a new car and the payments are killing you. Hey, it's new and every thing is working well, maintenance can wait. (This represents the person who does not frequent the denist. Whether not as a child or with financial issues as an adult. If it isn't broke, don't fix it, right?)

The likeliness is that car B will have a problem before car A. Why? Because car A is getting regular visits to the shop. Before anything can go wrong, the mechanic can address it.

If your parents took you to the dentist as a child, please let them know you appreciate it today. We weren't all so fortunate.

Let's try it again...

A. You hear a little sqeak when you use the brake. Immediately you take the care in to have the brakes serviced even thought the car was stopping just fine.

B. You hear a little squeak, but brakes have got to wait and the car is still stopping. You are able to carry on for some time without problems stopping. Next thing you know there is grinding....uh oh.

Car A just replaced the pads. Car B had to replace the pads and rotors.

If you have a small cavity or maybe you feel a little sensitivity when you have chocolate, your dentist can make a restoration. If you put it off, you could be in for a root canal treatment and crown. $140 vs. $1900

Your dental health is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Whatever it takes, you must have the care you need...regularly.

My Name is Nikki and I am 15 and My Mum is very scared of the dentist and has to get put to sleep for it. My Mum has 4 crowns on the top at the front and 4 crowns on the bottom at the front. They are horrible and make my Mum sad. I remember my Mum laughing and smiling lots, but now she doesnt and if she does it is not for long and she puts her hand over her mouth. 2 years ago her front top crown broke and the dentist pulled out her front tooth and gave her a false tooth and said it would need to be used for six months, two years now and she still has her false tooth. He said he would bridge it or something like that. He never did. She has lost lots of weight because she cant eat properly, she wont go ut for a meal because she cant eat with her false tooth in. Her false tooth snapped off and she fixed it wih super glue but it keeps breaking. She needs it fixed so much. I feel so sorry my Mum, she always helps everyone else before hersef, she is so kind and alwas tries to give me and my brother what we need. My Mum has tried hard on her own for years to bring us up and we would like to help her to pay for her teeth to get fixed. The dentist said she could have it fixed properly but it would probably cost 900 pounds. Me and my brother have saved 150 pounds by washing lots of cars, painting fences and cutting grass and it is her birthday in January and we would love to give hr a new tooth and make her a happy Mum again. She doesnt know we are saving for her and it will be a great surprise if we can do it.
We are hoping some people would like to help us to give our Mum a lovely smile again and give us one pound donation. I know it will be hard to get 750 people to give one pound but it is 5 months until January.
Please give us a pound for Mum, she is a great Mum and deserves it.

Thank you to everyone online who gives us a pound, we now have 80 pounds in the paypal account email address mums-tooth@inbox.com

Thank you
Nikki

I am writing for my mother, Becky, I am her daughter. Years ago my mother damaged her back very badly and from then on had to have 3 surgeries to somewhat fix it. On top of it she has to take many different medicines, one being Actiq, which has rotted her teeth. The medication is made from pure sugar, which her doctor or the company, at the time, did not let her know. Within a year my mother, who's teeth until then were perfect, begin to rot and chip causing her to have major root canals, all of her top teeth pulled and to go through many scary, excruciating experiences. This also has put her in a depressed mental state because she feels as though she is ugly, she doesnt want to go in public and talk to people, etc. She says to me the one thing that would make her happy is if she could feel comfortable smiling and have confidence to go out. Another problem is the fact she cannot eat and at times almost has choked. Please, if someone could please help her.
