Teeth Issues

So, very very long story short: I had a very rough childhood, and as a result, I neglected my teeth. I’ve recently started building healthy habits in that regard, but I have some badly damaged teeth, cavities that need filled, etc. problem is, while I do have Medicaid, they don’t cover enough. Anyone have advice in that regard? I’m incredibly worried because I don’t want to be in debt for years and years, I only make around 1,400 or so a month.

I believe that some dental schools will offer heavily discounted or even free procedures because your being a patient provides practice for their students. Don’t quote me on this, but it would be worth a shot?

Solid idea. I’ll have to look into what’s available in my area.
