I am frequently asked how to get help for unmet dental needs. First, I would like everyone to know that this is the very reason I became involved with dentistry. I was a patient in pain with limited resources, but more significantly, I lacked education. I invite all of you to ask questions about dental care and here are a few tips for getting the care you need.

• Contact your local community colleges to determine if they have a dental hygiene school. Dental Hygiene School's can provide many services and resources to get you back to health.
• Locate your state's dental schools. If you have one within a reasonable distance, you can find the help you need for 50% or less than regular dental fees.
• Contact your state's dental society. The state dental society is an organization for dentists, but can frequently give guidance to those seeking help. Some state organizations specifically provide information for those in need.
• Other great resources for finding free and low-cost dental care are local health departments and social services.

Whatever you do, stay encouraged and keep trying. It will take perseverance, but your health is worth it.     Feel free to email any questions you have on your search.

The moving suggestion is the most likely. DA jobs are plentiful and well-paying (given the level of education) throughout the country. I'm in Raleigh NC and DAs earn from $12-22 per hour and the 12 is on the end of office trained, not certified DAs. Jobs are plentiful and the four day work week is fantastic. Best wishes in all of your endeavors. Get the heck out of Minnesota, the economy sounds aweful.

You are right in that your oral health is connected to your overall health. Tooth pain is often indicative of infection and infectionis dangerous. I have suffered from tooth aches and that is the reason I do what I do. Where are you located?

Where do you live in SC?

I am a dental hygienist practicing in NC. Additionally, I have a heart for those in need of dental care, so therefore, spend a great deal of time in volunteer work and research and development of dental access clinics. My goals are to make a significant impact in the access to dental care disparities through providing care, coaching private practice offices and educating the public. Though I can not provide a substitute for the dentist (regular care is necessary), I would be glad to answer questions or help those in need of care find the care they need.
