This is the Nicest Dentist office! I went the first time for myself.I had an absesed broken tooth and needed it removed.They took care of me in two visits. one for x- rays and to give me an antibiotic for the absess and the next for extraction.When I found out this office is actually a pediatric dental office I brought my daughter in. She broke a front tooth wile playing, and has a few cavities.This office is Very friendly my daughter was very scared but they have helped her over come her fears! I love that there treats are non candy related! They are hopeful to have there nitrace back on at the beginning of February where my daughter will have her teeth fixed.I am so thankful to the Dentist and his staff for providing this very needed service. I am on disability and can not work and my fiance father works long hard hours but still we struggle to pay bills. There are those who choose to choose to complain and those who choose to Help I am thankful for the helpers.

I think programs like these are important. I do believe a good portion oof welfare beneficiaries do not deserve them but some people really are doing everything they can and still need the help. Me and my husband work and both go to school so we can stop receiving state help neither of us smoke or do drugs… just trying our best to afford basics with costs of groceries and gas keeps increasing while our pay remains the same.

Its the same old story, there are those that truly need and those that truly steel from the tax paying rolls………… which makes it a sad situation for everyone, its been going on for years and years and years. However until we have tighter control in our medicare, medicade, food stamp programs it will continue…….It is truly unfair to look down on all medicare and medicade, food stamp recipients. When I was raising my babies, there were no programs at all like they have today……. I can remember a cupboard with 1/2 cup dried peas, and two slices of bread in it, and I couldnt get any assistance anywhere,and had two growing children and a new baby on the way, at that point I decided My kids would never never go hungry again, if I had to scrub floors to feed them, and Thank God they have not…………….If there is an honest will, there is an honest way for most everyone, however sadly that is not true for some. It takes pride and determination to ..pull yourself up by your boot strings and to boot it appears that our Country is so busy sending Foreign aid to the rest of the world, deprives our citizens here at home….and deprives our citizenry of making honest livings ………………………….No wonder we have such an attrocious national debt, .

I would gladly work if I could. I worked for 25 years before I became unable to do so anymore. I cannot stand for more than a few minutes at a time. I cannot lift more than 15 pounds. I cannot cook anymore because I have memory problems and leave out ingredients, forget it’s cooking, etc. I can’t bake a cake or cookies for my kids. My children have to do all the cooking.
I DID marry the father of my children. I can’t help it that he took off after 20 years of marriage.
My kids wear clothes from Walmart, the dollar store and the thrift store along with hand me downs from friends and relatives. I certainly don’t have a Coach handbag or anything else along those lines.
My kids get free lunches at school. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to eat.
I’m doing good to be able to buy their shoes and hygiene items. Without Medicaid, dental care would be out of reach. Without food stamps, we couldn’t eat.
I am so sick of people stereotyping everyone who receives public assistance. Most of us would love to work and pay our own bills and provide our kids with all those things, but circumstances, such as illness, job loss, etc, have not allowed this. We appreciate all the help we get and we do not abuse it. Unfortunately, people such as those posting here, think that the actions of a few depict the character of all the rest of us too.
I find it sad that there are so many close minded people here. I hate that my children have to grow up in a world in which they will be discriminated against for things they cannot control. If you think they aren’t, go to Ransom Middle School during lunch. Ask the lunch ladies why there are two lines. One line is for free lunches and the other is for everyone else. Many of the kids on free lunches don’t eat because they’d rather go hungry than have the student body see that they are poor. Isn’t that sad?

Why is it that most people on medicaid smoke cigarettes?
They will buy cigs before they buy food or diapers for their kids.
I’m sure there are exceptions but this seems to be the rule. Sad.

whoa…..a person could go nuts listening to all of you. As a matter of fact, not all people on Medicaid are too sorry to work. But in today’s economy, people who are working and qualify for assistance and receive it usually need it. Not everyone who gets it drives big cars or dresses in the best. A few spoil it for those who really need it. But, if venting made you feel better……

Again takers taking. While mommy waltzes in with little Junior in his or her designer duds and mommy decked to the nine with her expensive Coach, DB, LV or other designer bag waiting for free dental service. Plenty of money to shop and have the #1 best. These services are great for those who really need them. However those of us that work are disgusted with it. My kids can’t have the best and both of his parents work. We are lucky we have dental insurance but several years ago we did not. My husbands company does not offer a dental plan. Have you ever tried to find a company who sells dental insurance to individuals or families. HA HA! Howabout the government fix that problem. How about some of these mommies marry the daddies and the daddies or mommies get a real job and get off the welfare roles. How about foodstamps don’t include soda, chips, candy and other junk foods that lead to tooth decay and obesity. Let mommy make a cake or bake cookies instead of providing pre-made convenience foods. Long ago people did not have these options and did just fine. Wonder if they will provide free gold caps. Free of charge of course?

I feel so bad for the people that are the working poor! The choices are work and have (expensive) insurance; work and have no insurance; or those people that don’t work, and have no desire to work. Shame on them! I’m glad that there is a clinic that will see children and the elderly with Medicaid in the area though! Medicare will not pay for extractions… only dentures. The system isn’t right!
Our elderly are allowed to have rotten teeth if they are Medicaid…. unless they are able to find a Medicaid dentist. The system is wrong!
