Based on the information you provided, it's possible that you may be eligible for some forms of assistance. Since you mentioned that you were in DSS custody as a minor in North Carolina, I recommend checking with the North Carolina Department of Social Services to see if you may qualify for any assistance programs based on your prior history with the agency.

Additionally, you can check if you qualify for other government programs, such as Medicaid or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which can help with medical expenses and grocery costs respectively. You can visit Benefits.gov or North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to check your eligibility for various government assistance programs.

Lastly, I would recommend reaching out to local non-profit organizations, food banks, or charities to see if they have any resources available to assist you with food and dental expenses.

I hope this helps, and please let me know if you need any clarifications.
