1. Go on a white-teeth diet. If you're quaffing red wine and black tea, or smoking cigarettes or cigars, expect the results to show up as not-so-pearly whites. Other culprits to blame for dingy teeth include colas, gravies, and dark juices. Bottom line: If it's dark before you put it in your mouth, it will probably stain your teeth. Brush immediately after eating or drinking foods that stain teeth and use a good bleaching agent, either over-the-counter or in the dentist's office. For convenient teeth-cleaning action, eat an apple.

Are you not able to get help from the State or Government to provide child care for you to be able to work full time? I think there are programs for that especially if you get food stamps or are on the Medicaid program. You might want to check to see if there are programs to help you with your childrens care.

i8dapl, There is a large Baptist Church in our area that has a program with volunteer dentist to help the low income/needy in our area. You might want to check with all the large churches in your area to see if they have the program available. You might also want to check with the local County offices like your County Commissioners, the local Health Department, Catholic Services and the Salvation Army and ask if any of them have any free dental work services available or know of any.

I am a 37 year old mother of two girls. I cannot afford proper dental care for myself. I am only able to work part time because my girls are young, and I don't have family to help. I do, however, every three months get my hair "done" for $25.00every 3 months. I can't get my teeth cleaned for that. I need extensive dental work, I now can only eat soft foods, and I am embarassed by my teeth. If one of your contributing dentists would like to help, my email is evey72@aol.com.
