77 Years old need help, No Dental insurance, No money to pay for tooth extraction?

I know a 77 years old male, he is a heart patient. All his teeth are rotten and he needs to have them removed. unfortunately, medicare doesn't cover it. He doesn't have money to pay for it. He lives in Fort Bend county in Missouri-city, Texas. Is there any dentist (individual or group) can help him? I have heard that Dental Schools in Houston area provide pro-bono services to low income families. Could anyone help him? any suggestion on this matter will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, You should call the health department in the area. They normally have a dental department that han help him with extractions and dentures. Medicare does not cover dentistry, but medicaid does. You may also want to look for dentists that are medicaid providers in your area. Hope this helps. Carlos Boudet, DDS http://www.boudetdds.com
