Hi littchboo

Do you live near New Orleans ? I found a program there were they are helping people with dental programs for free. It sounds like you are really uncomfortable. It is so hard to have dental problems , or any medical problem for that matter , and no money.

I will look to see if I can find more near where you live. Could you tell me what area of Louisiana you live in ? Just the name of the county that you live in would help.
