Any programs to help pay dental care costs?

Oh geeze, I thought Medicaid would cover the cost of having all my teeth pulled. They will cover half, which I'm greatful for, but I'm sitting with one whole side of my teeth infected, been through 3 rounds of antibiotics, and really don't want another go round. I haven't worked in a year because of valid health issues. I need to pay 3,500 at the time of scheduling and there's no way.

I warn all ya'll stay away from 5 minute white, crest strips, anything with hydrogen peroxide for your teeth. These type of products eat into teeth at the gum level, so when they do break, all that's left is a root, which needs to be surgically extracted. Please don't use whitening products.
