Q. Yes I am retired and not in good health I live in cookeville tn. my insurence is from state and goverment insurence .about 7 years ago I ask a board from the state insurence to agree that my teath were bad and harmful to my health. will they refused me. now my teath are worse, they are all broke off and most broken under the gum line. I been told i would need to have surgery to take them all out. I live on a low income. and just cant afford to pay to have it done. I was told that some hospitals have dentist that do this for what your insurence will pay how do i find out about that? my gums stay infected , not to mention how bad it looks thank you
