Hello to all that visit. I am here to help my son get his smile back. We recently took him to a pediatric dentist and they told us in order to get his teeth fixed we need to come up with the $1100 first. He is five years old, getting ready to start kindergarten, and is constantly in pain. It breaks my heart to see him like this. The dentist thinks bruxism (teeth grinding) had a big part to play in the deterioration of some of his teeth. He has four teeth that are broken, about 12 cavities, and they say he will need caps on a few teeth after he receives root canals.

I would really appreciate any help that can be given. I do not want a handout...I would like to find a dentist that is willing to take reasonable payments and not make us wait until the balance is paid to get this work done.

Kindergarten starts in late August and I would like to get his teeth taken care of before then. I have tried so many things and I am desperate. If there is anyone that can help I can provide the estimate for the work that needs to be done.

I greatly appreciate your time.

Hello. My name is Niki and I am the mother of a five year old little boy in need of dental assistance. I have medical insurance, but even so it will still cost me $1100 to get my sons mouth back to good. He is in need of a lot of work. We took him to a pediatric dentist, but we are having a really difficult time coming up with the money. I am NOT looking for a handout. I am looking for a dentist that would be willing to let me make payments. He is in pain and it kills me to know that I can not help ease his pain. I also have quite a few problems with my teeth, but I refuse to get them taken care of until my son, Ty, has his taken care of. I would really appreciate any help that I can find. I am located in Ohio, but would be willing to drive to Indiana if needed. I appreciate your time. Thanks!!
