Re: Federal Assistance for Dental Work

No programs that I'm aware of if you don't qualify for Medicaid. Medicare,
which you probably will be in at age 65, does NOT cover any dental
treatment. You should check on a dental school near your home, if there is
one, as their fees are generally much lower. If -- as you say -- all your
teeth are already loose, hard to eat, and painful, the prognosis isn't very
promising. Sorry to give you news that you don't want, but that's the way
it looks. Good luck!
