I broke one of my front teeth, and I have no dental insurance?

I am barely making ends meet so I don't know how I'll be able to afford another bill. I have always had problems with this tooth. I had braces as a teenager and after they were taken off, this tooth seemed to move back a little and I learned not to chew on that side of my mouth because it hurt to bite down. I was biting into a sandwich today and the bottom of this tooth broke off. Like I said, I used to go to the dentist all the time, it seemed like every time I went they made an excuse to give me another xray or whatever. I cannot afford the costs they will pile on me. If it was any other tooth further back in my mouth I would just get it pulled but I work as a waitress in a nice restaurant and I need to look presentable. I am so frustrated, I can never get ahead. I live in Wisconsin, if anyone knows how I can find cheap or free dental care...

ouch! see if there are any dental schools in your area they should be able to work on your teeth for a minimal cost or none at all
Reply:Check the local colleges with dental programs. They sometimes need willing patients to practice on.
Reply:Just like planned parenthood for gynocology, there's clinics for dental work too. I would check your local clinic and ask them if they know any community affordable dental care locations. If that doesnt work, check your state website for sources on how to get government dental assistance. Most places will allow you to make payments as well if you do not have insurance. Just let them know how much a month you can afford.
Reply:you should try google and type in free health clinics with your state and city name something should come up.
Reply:Do you have a university dental school near you? Go for that. The costs are a lot less there.
Reply:I know how you feel a front tooth is important for your appearance. Maybe you could check into the Dental College at your local University they may offer some care in order to help the students. The cost might not be too bad. Good luck too.
Reply:well you can get cheap dental for for $11.95 and it will cover up to 80% go to
