Oral health is so important to overall health. This has been known for decades but the evidence keeps getting stronger. Yet - health insurance rarely covers the care needed. You aren't alone in this.
HealthCentral doesn't have ties to a clinic. Some areas have free dental clinics but it's all local. Maybe you could call your local United Way office and see if they know of any dental clinics in your area. If they don't, call a local civic organization for some guidance. Otherwise, Social Services may be able to give you some advice.
I hope you can get the treatment you need. Good luck.
