dentures

unfortunitly i have been in prison for a while. i have had extensive work done on my teeth including bridges and caps. the  only thing you get in prison is your teeth pulled for $3 a visit. there was a 9 month wait for fillings so most of us who had short sentences had to have teeth pulled making my bridges useless. also my teeth are getting loose 1 fell out and 1 more is loose.my problem? where can i get free or discounted dental care in the danbury connecticut upper westchester a nd putnam counties in new york. im probably going to need at least bridges with a few caps. also a bonding of my 2 front teeth fell out and 2or3 fillings also fell out. i am on medicare and am disabled with COPD. any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.  don't worry i'm not violent or a child molester; just a guy in the wrong place

The dental school near you has discounted fees, that would be the best place.  Look up your medicare plan and see if you are covered for dental....if you are, just google medicare dentists in your area.  You can also check your state dental board website for information on charity dental work in your area.

i live in ct too and the dental school are not very much cheaper here. with the past couple years the schools have more than tripled their rates and they have a long waiting list and a pay up front only option. my relatives in ca have great luck with the local dental schools both with prices and services but not here. i agree with strat to google like crazy and maybe you will get lucky. since the economy has gone down the pot even charities have less help to give but dont let that keep you from trying.  next time aim for a ritzier prison with a better dental program. my friends ex was sent away for tax evasion and was released a year later with beautiful teeth.

I suppose its just all in where you live.  The schools in TX are great, less than half the price of private practice and pride in the work thats produced.  Its sad to see that its not that great everywhere.

i wasn't in long enough. i tell my friend who's getting out in june how much i envyed him for doing a more serious crime than i did. this is the God's honest truth i met my dentist in osbourne he was in the next block and i told the dentist there could i have my dentist fix my teeth and he said "sure if you want to wait that long" and i in my sarcastic way said "can i get him now? he's right down the hall"
