Where can I find a denist in tennessee that will finance bad credit or do pro bono work? Need help bad!?

I am praying and looking for a denist that can finance some dental work or do it for pro bono! I have terrible credit, but I'll do everything I can to fix my teeth! They hurt so bad and are only getting worse! I have all but 2 or 3 of my teeth, but everyone of them are rotten and just crumble to nothing, and the longer I go the worse they get, the more money and pain I'll have to have, so please I am begging please help me or please send me to somewhere that there might be some hope of helping me, Please, please! I live on disability and have two children, not a lot of money, but please I need help, this is making my health worse everyday, and I am not even making this more than it is, if you will tell me how; I will send a picture of these crumbling, black, rotten, pus filled, nasty, very painful teeth of mine! Please help me, if it's not to but send me to someone else just please help keep my hopes up, becaam about to give up! Thanks Amanda

1. Dental schools have clinics for patients and the work is doen for free or on a sliding scale basis depending on income. Check with the Universities in your area for a dental school program.
2. You need to see what the state has available. There are state clinics out there. If you have children I am sure you can get insurance.
3. I am in the same situation you are in I went to the dental schools to have students work on me but the down fall with clinics is that they only do a little work at a time and it gets stretched out over so long. I have bad credit too. But i finally got a dentist to finance me for 3500 and come to find out he was ridiculously expensive! like 1200 for one CROWN!! So i took my financed butt somewhere else i NOW have 5 crowns woohoo and my front teeth are beautiful now i have to pay this 3500 off then start all over I'm FAR from done. I also have dentemax which is a discount program. here is what i was financed through.. www.carecredit.com and here is the dentemax http://www.dentalplans.com/dentalplans/dentemaxhome.asp?zipcode= PS I live in Memphis tn let me know if you have any questions
4. Call ahead and ask about payment plans. MOST dental offices - and not just clinics or dental schools, but qualified, reputable dentists - offer a payment plan of some type. You can't lose anything by calling. But you DO stand to lose some teeth if you put it off! Go to the American Dental Association website (www.ada.org) and click on "Find a Dentist" and type in your city and state. A listing of dentists in good standing with the ADA will come up with their names and phone numbers. Call these people, not just the cheapest guy in town. Get it done right! Your health is at stake and as I said, there are plenty of dental offices out there willing to work with you on payment, especially if your teeth are in as bad shape as you describe.
