My email requesting help from dentists and social service agencies, Jan '04'

To Whom It May Concern,
I am trying to find a dentist that volunteers services or willing to make payment arrangements. We live in Effingham County. My husband is a hard working man that is doing his best to provide for our family. We are right above the line to receive govt. assistance. We dont have the credit to apply for financing services. I am willing to make payments if not to expensive. We make ends meet and its hard sometimes. I just want to be able to smile about all that God has blessed me with. I am a mother of four, my children are on the Peach Care program. I am only 33 years old. I do not have any dental insurance. I have teeth that are so bad that I am going to have to complete dentures. I was told by a local dentist that I had a nutritional deficit either during my mothers pregnancy or in childhood. He told me that all of my teeth are slowly rotting from the bottom up. I am so ashamed of my smile I wont even open my mouth, I am so longing to be able to smile at my children. If you could please please respond to my email and let me know if you could help me. If not, if you know of any local dentist that would be willing to work a payment arrangement with a young mother that so longs to smile at her husband and children without being ashamed. Thank you for taking the time to read this email and my plight for a beautiful smile. Sincerely Dena XXXX
