I am a 44 year old single mother on Social Security. I am low income and I am raising my daughter on low income. I have teeth that have cracked and I lost two. I am in need of the root to be pulled and that has been over due a year. I am in severe pain and my sister had a brain abcess and ended up in the hospital for three months after two brain surgeries. She was paralyzed on one side and did time in rehab. I am terrified of that being my fate. Is there any help with dental through Medicare? I have Medicare through Social Security Disability.

Medicare does not cover dental treatment. However, you may be able to find low cost or sliding scale fees at a local dental school. You did not provide your city and state so I am not able to suggest possibilities. You can search for dental schools in your area online.
At the very least, go see your doctor for pain killers as well as (hopefully) something to ease the swelling (if any). The doctor should also be able to address your concerns about related issues and if brain tumours are a potential result of your current problems.
you may be able to get some information at this site:
I am a 51 year old man on social security permanently disabled. I am raising a6 year old child( maie) which i have custody of for the last 5 years. I love him more than anything . so he always comes first. I have had beautiful teeth. My whole life years ago i was on medicine that a doctor put me on for pain it was a lolipop form that you had to rubon your gums. After years of being on that medicine i started noticing my teeth were getting yellow in color. I lost my 4 teeth in the verry front upper teeth.
I have no extra money. I have a sixteen year old girl. My dentures are so big I find it hard to est. How can I get help. I have no extra money at all.
Going through the same thing
Me too!!
What is going on here? How is unbearable pain, loss of caloric intake, and possibly heart complications, diseased gums, .. so much more related not concidered Heath care and covered by MA? Everyone has teeth, everyone will have changes with age. The ungodly amount of pain, humiliation, and a true self image destroyer can certainly be to much to bear at times. The pain and real degree of pure pain is going to make me absolutely go out of my mind and I have had 11 horrible and invasive abdominal surgeries this past 7 years.
And the dentist is the richest man in our town... Maybe they are charging too much?!
