single parent in need of help finding way to provide dental implants/treatment for 2 daughters desparately needing treatment for ectodermal dysplasia (one more severe than other). I have no insurance for older child and myself; single disabled mother of 3. I have sent out letters and e-mails to 100s of dental schools, and try to follow up on leads; any ideas? My daughter is seriously in pain, emotionally and physically with no teeth. She just lost her teeth in August of 2006. Now the temporary flipper she has been wearing is starting to hurt her gums. We cannot afford $40,000 to cover the costs of dental work due to husband up and leaving family after 23 years of marriage. I have been a stay-home mom this time; please if you have any ideas, let me know. Thank you. We are in S.F. Bay area.
