Comment: I am writing because I am...

I am writing because I am in desperate need of dental work. I had major surgery about 2 years ago on my left side of my mouth..but ran out of money before I could complete my right side. I too, like many minorities did not have parents that took them to the dentist as a result, I only went to the dentist when there was a problem, not as preventative care. Now, I have about $5,000 worth of work to be completed on my right side of my mouth. If anyone where to look in my mouth..they would wonder how I eat and why I not 100 pounds. To eat, I take ibuprophen everyday, 2-3 times a day just to have minimum pain. The top right side back teeth all have huge cavities or they are breaking. I have one wisdom tooth left that I am sure is infected because it is almost decayed...I desperately need some to help. I am not looking for just free but I sure could use a payment plan t dental care but someone or something that would allow me to pay the minimum or a discounted rate. I am even willing to work at a dental office part time in exchange for work. I don't have alot of time. I don't and have not had insurance in over 6 years and before that I was in school and my dad took me off of their insurance. That's really when all my problems started. Anyways, I'll accept any suggestions or help because I hate to have to take pain killers just to enjoy a meal of substance.
