in response to monika27... I want you to know I am working aggressively to insure that all people receive the dental care they need, starting in North Carolina whether they can afford it or not.
There is hope, if you are determined. In this situation you must take responsibility for your oral health education and condition and then seek the care you need.
I have been in contact with dental professionals in your state and will provide resources as they are made available to me.
You took the right first step to know what is available. I would have first directed you to the school. You should also know that the dental museum is at the college and provides a wealth of education in oral health. It is such a wonderful place for patients to learn I will use it as a model for an education center. Take advantage! This is unique to your area.
Go to http://www.ncmpact.com/ for some ideas while we are waiting to hear about what is available.
What work are you in need of?
Be encouraged!!!
