...I turn to? Where do we as Iraq war veterans turn to when we need dental care? I have no money, work very little and have a young daughter to support. The Department of Veterans Affairs offers us no dental coverage as a disabled veteran because I am not 100% disabled. I can't afford to pay out of pocket and have done my research and it seems that this is a problem that people care very little about. I have an abcess and a decayed toothe that needs to be pulled what do I do? Please anyone I am in desperate need of some answers.

well thank you for your service and sacrifice and i hope life will treat you well, im not sure what you can do, but i feel sad for you because you fought for your country and no one seems to help you out. i hope you find a solution and i will be [raying for you. God bless

Hello, I do not know what state you are in,and i know the pain of waiting to get an appointment. suggestion: contact the health dept in your town, city or county. Tell them you are indigent and in need of immediate dental care. Ask for referrals. If you are not on medicaid, ask if you can have the 800 number for the medicaid dental referral number. If they dont have it. Check the website for your state and call and ask for Drs names who accept medicaid. They usually provide services for low cost or no cost medical care. Also many county health depts do also. I cant tell you much about the VA, but I think these dentists can bill them for you, if not you can get free care. Also ask for referrals for indigent people for Drs and other health services . There are many, and often they arent well known. Unfortunately for people with out proper access.
Call the VA and go thru the process, but dont turn down you other options.
Take care, and thanks for serving our country. We wont forget you. Peachsurprize

You can buy dental insurance for as little as $11.00 a month.

I provided a link.

Also, alot of dentist offer their own dental insurance plans.

Any emergency room can fix that. they have to treat you by law. no matter what, and they have to fix it because it is an infection.
