Where can I find free to low cost dental care in or around Smithville Tennessee?
I have looked everywhere for cheap to no cost dental work. I am disabled and only live on $452/ mo. My teeth are in bad shape from having three children back to back. Its so bad sometimes when I try to eat food, pieces of my teeth break off. Please help me.

bolts_volts:  1800 dentist, explain your complete situation to them

check in with social services, and see what they have

lastly, if those 2 dont work, then i would go from one dentist to another pleading for them to do pro bono work. you will get one that will help

Dr. Sam:  Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.

Call your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.

Go to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.

Check http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.

Check http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.

Check http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program. D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems. This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you. Not all states have D.D.S. programs.
