My mom has social security as her sole support. She is 64 and has no Medical or Dental insurance coverage. After rent, utilities and grocerys she does not have much left. She really needs to see a doctor because of arthritis pain and her diabetes. She really needs to see a dentist because she has many missing teeth and is in bad need of dentures. I am not in a financial position to help her. I need to find her free or low cost care. Any suggestions?
--------------------
How can she be on Social Security and not have Medicare? There is no free dental care. The dental clinics that were popular in the 90's were overwhelmed and most have opted to treat only children now. All they ever did was pull teeth out anyway. So there's no free care. Have you looked into your local county and state dental society or your nearest local dental school? They will offer reduced fees but not by too much. Most require payment up front and there are huge waiting lists. Sorry. Because of the economy it's just a bad time all around.
