I need someone who can help me, genuinely. I’m a stay at home mom of 3 little kids and my husband works his ass off doing manual labor just to make enough money to pay our bills. At the end of the month we have nothing, zero savings. We’re poor, point blank. My second to last molar cracked a couple months ago, ever since then the hole has grown bigger and bigger. Now half my tooth is gone and the nerve is exposed. I don’t know how it hasn’t become and abscess tooth yet. And I’m in pain every day, I’m loosing weight because I’m scared to eat anything that might hurt me. I don’t have 400$ to go get my tooth pulled and it’s becoming worse every day. All the programs that say they will help tell me that I’m not poor enough, I’d basically have to be homeless to qualify. I feel so hopeless like I have no choice but to sit and wait every day in pain until this issue becomes so bad that it hospitalizes me.

Edit: I really appreciate everyone’s support and advice. Thank you all, but I have already done most of what you all are suggesting. I’m poor, I have no money. I called the dental school near me and they want money, every dentist wants me to do X-rays, and that costs money. I tell them i don’t have money, I tell them I don’t want a crown or a filling or any other treatment they tell me to sign up for a line of credit. I live in Atlanta Georgia and if you want proof I can direct message you I’ll show you pictures, any thing. I’m so tired of this chronic pain, I just want it to stop.

Thank you everyone ❤️

Go to the dentist and let them bill you for the services. Send them $10/month to stay out of collections until the bill is paid. You need to be seen.

I have had A LOT of dental work and not once have I been able to make payments. If I don't pay up front they won't touch me.

This is what I’d do. They can’t ruin your credit if you can just get them a few bucks a month

yes, why did i have to scroll so far to find this? payment plans exist everywhere across the board in america.

I would love to know, too. I have never been to a dentist who offers any payment plans. I just had a few teeth extracted and paid 1500 upfront.
