There is no state run dental program in Texas. The do not believe in dental coverage under medicaid, unless your infection spreads to your jaw and your ears, in which case it will no longer be classified as a dental issue, but a medical issue. Texas isn't big on welfare, and I agree with that. I still wish they could offer something cheaper for college people and super low income people. I just have to wait for some financial aid, and get a filing, one tooth pulled and another replaced. The replacement is because I had that tooth knocked in half years ago, and it's kinda odd colored. Life sucks for the poor. But, I will survive, and go on to a better life once this damn college is over with.
