Case Description
All of my teeth are broken, rotting out, and/or abscessed. My wisdom teeth are growing in forward instead of up and down, pushing all my teeth together. (Crushing them, actually.) I don't have insurance, or good credit, and I am on a very tight budget. I really don't understand why anyone's health would be dependent on a credit rating, and why I can't find a dentist that will let me pay it out over time. I'm really afraid of getting sick, or even dying. I haven't been to a dentist in about 11 years. I am only 28, and I have the mouth of an 80 year old crack addict. I need some help. My teeth have caused me to lose confidence in myself, making it hard to find jobs, and I can't even laugh with my friends anymore. My life is a mess, and it's ALL because of my teeth and the fact that I don't have good credit. Can anyone help me? I will go anywhere, anytime.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I am sorry to hear of your dental problems and would suggest that if finances are an obstacle, that you contact your Florida Dental Association, The Florida Department of Health, or Nova Southeastern University Dental School for help. Unfortunately, I do not know of any dentists who accept payment plans. There are dental insurance plans, but for the amount of work that you are describing needs to be performed, I do not think it will benefit you in any way at this moment in time. i wish you the best. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact. Thanks
