Please provide information about where I might find dental insurance or the means to pay for dental work?

I'm on SSDI and Commonwealth care. My front teeth are badly cracked and ready to break, my bones are weak due to a very severe vitamin D deficiency, a filling came out of my back tooth, and I'm having more trouble. I live in Boston and have heard that most or all dentists who take the health safety net are bad dentists over here. No one I know can suggest a decent one who takes health safety net.

Have you tried a dental college?

I have a friend that lives Boston and she goes to a dental college and its very affordable.

Thanks for the suggestions for the dental school. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get one of their better dentists or students? I read the reviews and it seems like some people had great experiences, and other people had awful ones: Tufts University School of Dental Medicine - Chinatown - Boston, MA | Yelp

I suspect it depends who you get as your dentist or dental student.

I honestly think its the same chance as seeing a licensed dentist some are just better than others.

There are no dental colleges near me , closest is over 100+ miles away .. My local dentist is amazing . but I lost my insurance so I can still go I just have to use the dental insurance that they have .. Its a private insurance and the interest is pretty high but it will allow me to get my work that I need done and I can just make monthly payments. Just another option you may need to look into.

Dental students are under the supervision of an instructor-experienced dentist.

I go to a dental school. If you need help...go.
