answers 0:We get survivor's social security and that barely pays the rent. We don't qualify for any other kind of help. I don't have any calcium in my body and my teeth are falling out. I'm in a lot of pain and I need to have my teeth pulled and to get dentures. I'm a diabetic so dental schools won't touch me. My doctor prescribed an antibiotic because I have an infection in my gum and my face is all swollen up. We have heard of pro bono dentists, but we have no idea how to find one. Can anyone help?...Show moreanswers 1:If you need expensive work done, it may be hard to find a pro-bono dentist. You might consider looking for a job that offers dental in their benefits. Other option, talk to snow birds (seniors) or jump on a website for them. They know how to stretch their dollars. I've heard of the! m using very good Mexican border dentists. These dentists have practices based around serving American seniors and are supposedly very good, clean, and much more affordable. The seniors are in the know, talk to one that goes regularly....answers 2:google itanswers 3:go to tijuana its cheaper over thereanswers 4:I was in the same boat ... and I went to Mexico and got my dental work done.Now, I was unsure about doing this ... but after doing research about it on the Internet, it was clear that MANY American's go to Mexico to get their dental work done. I was facing a minimum of $5200 in the US and my insurance paid a max of $1000. I got Periodontal surgery done in Mexico for $1800.Everything worked out fine ... just be sure to do research and get references for a good dentist. They pulled a tooth of mine for $40. Now, I will say that they don't have all the latest, greatest equipment that we have here, but the end result is the same. It was like going to the dentist in! the US like 10 years ago or something. But again, the end re! sult was the same and everything worked out fine. I have zero regrets.Good luck....answers 5:SF General and Highland hospital (Oakland) have residency programs in Oral Surgery. It's not pro bono, but much cheaper.
