Back in 1999 My x husband almost beat me to death he broke every tooth i had off. I was beat with the end of a gun in my face. I already had a partial on top for my 4 front teeth and to on the right ond one on the left top. I still have my front bottom teeth, but they are going bad too. all the rest are broke off into my gums. I cant hardly eat talk or anything. I am in so much pain. They have infection and bleed and smell bad. I need help please can someone help. I cant afford to keep going to urgent care for antibiotics. I dont have any health or dental insurance. My face starts swelling like I have 2 baseballs in my mouth I get so sick it scares me. please help me

Hi My Name is Heather Rider, i am 29. I'm am a victim of verbal, physical, mental and sexual abuse. In 2007' my sisters boyfriend punched my front teeth out. I had them glued temporarily and when I returned to Ellis Dental of Schenectady, they refused my insurance and told me they cant work on my mouth any further. I then lost my insurance and then after a year of infections ( that could of been affected my mental health) they called and apologized and cancelled the debt and by that time they had to REMOVE ALL MY TEETH. then it took a long time to get appointments in I started to suffer from severe deppression. Since I have Bipolar 2 I had to be hospitalized against my wishes. Now the dentist is denying they finished my mold and now they want me to start over. Iam literally losing my mind over this and my fiance's family is trying to find someone to help me get implants because 2 sets of full dentures will never work. on top of it all I have 4 kids of my own and my fiance has 5 other kids that live with us or visit alot and the whole family is torn up about this. My family is just trying to take my kids because of the angry episodes I have from being sick. I will lose everything if I dont be able to look myself in the mirror without crying. PLEASE SAVE MY LIFE.

We do have Donated Dental Service in Arkansas. They are a statewide organization dedicated to meeting the oral health needs of disabled, elderly, or medically compromised Arkansans who cannot afford needed treatment. If you know someone appropriate for Donated Dental Services you must first call and request an application.  Call 1-800-932-8247.  When they receive the application your patient must complete it and return it as soon as possible.  They will be expected to provide medical, dental, disability, financial, and other personal information used to determine their eligibility for the DDS program. The patients must be:

1) Disabled, elderly, or medically compromised and unable to afford comprehensive dental care.

2) Have severe dental need. Patients are not referred for check ups or teeth cleaning or any other routine care alone.

If accepted the patient will be placed on the waiting list for their area.  They do have a long waiting list at this time so please be patient.  All providers are volunteers and work at their pace.  Once the patients application comes to the top of the waiting list for their area, the Referral Coordinators will attempt to match them with a volunteer dentist.  The dentist will see the prospective patient for a consultation and then decide whether or not to accept the patient for donated treatment.  If the dentist feels that the referral is appropriate for DDS services, a treatment plan is devised and dentist will then begin treating the patient.
