Free dental care for senours?
I am 59 and my husband is 63. We have no dental insurence and are living on a very tight budget. I am in very bad need of dental work and am looking for a way to get free dental care.

being on a tight budget and being considered needy can be two different things.
You may want to contact the dental schools near where you live. sometimes they take those who can not pay or pay much. Be prepared for a very long wait though. Free care is not easy to come by.
Good luck,
Nita

I'd recommend a college Dental School. My Grandma did that a few times and everything went well.

Been there and was quite satisfied with the dental work I had. However, the current situation in Mexico is a lot worse than it was the last time I visited. |

if you're not in ciudad juarez or nuevo laredo you should be fine.
in fact even in those cities.
all the border cities have dentists within just a couple of blocks of the bridge.
as long as you go and mind your own business you should be fine. |

You might also consider getting a job that offers dental insurance. Even Wal-Mart offers benefits for its associates. Since both of you are under age 65, most charitable organizations do not consider you to be "elderly" yet.
