looking for help or ideas to finance my dental work

I have a serious amount of dental work that needs to be done. I do have dental insurance, but right now we are living on one income, and the insurance doesn't seem to pay enough for me to get any work done. My two oldest boys also have a lot of dental work that needs to be done. Right now I am saving up so that my 3 year old can have surgery on his teeth in June to have 9 cavities filled and 1 cap put in. I have no idea how much it is going to cost, I will find out this Saturday, but his teeth are more important than mine at this point, so I am making SURE I have the money for him to get his surgery. We are a month behind on our mortgage, but his health has to come first. I'm sure everyone knows where I am coming from with this. This is why I cannot seem to save the money for my teeth right now and am in need of financial assistance of some sort.
I know that I need to have 2 root canals, 1 cap put in, and I am missing 2 teeth in the back, I also have a major amount of cavities that need to be filled. The two teeth that I am missing had to get pulled out while I was pregnant with my 6 month old. My teeth were perfect before having children, but they seem to get worse after each child. I am looking for ideas or help on the financing of getting the work I need done before I lose all of my teeth. I am only 31 years old and it scares me to death to be losing my teeth. The last time I went to the dentist I had to get a special cleaning done for periotitis (I think that is how you spell it). I am not asking for money, just some ideas, or maybe a dentist who would be willing to help me. I live in the St. Louis area. If you have any ideas or comments you can email me at dnjgardiner@centurytel.net.
