This is a response to a message that has been deleted, because it was
over 30 days old. The writer had heart problems, little money, and
serious dental problems. He went to a dental school in uppper New York
state, but they declined (possibly because of fear of the medical
problems)
But I feel that this patient will not be able to be treated anywhere
else but a school, for reasons of the costs involved.

So I would like to offer these ideas:
1) Be your own strong advocate. Have your dentist and doctor write
informative letters about your health/dental conditions. Take these
letters to the Dean of the School. Take an informed person with you, as
this can be stressful. Plead your case. Show how you could be an ideal
teaching model for students. After all, future dentists are not going
to have 100% healthy patients in their practice.
2) You must agree, before doing any of this, that if accepted, you will
be reliable, keep your appointments, carry out advice, be responsible
in the fullest. (But that is how we all should be as patients.)
3) If you are only one hundred dollars Over what it would take to be
put on Medicaid, for heaven's sake, see a social worker, or a lawyer,
or a professional financial advisor. Getting this clarified could help
you a lot.
Best wishes to you.
and I hope you get some good dental treatment.
