You may want to check local dental schools in your area; they offer low cost dentistry to all patients, although the appointments do take longer than on the outside. (Dental students (overseen by dental faculty) are the ones who provide the dental work).
Another option is to see if there are any county medical facilities that offer dentistry for low income patients; that work would be done by a dentist for a low cost, set fee.
Hope that helps
Look for a clinic in your area. They do it cheaper. Also, some dental school do it cheaper sometimes free. It's prob. about 100 tops for a filling .... you should really just go ahead and fork it out. If not it is VERY likely you will end up getting more problems, like needing a root canal (about 700 bucks!)
Faculties where people train to become dentists often take patients pro bono for their students to practice on. You could try those.
Yes..There is help available. There is a discounted Health Benefits Program that you can get. The dental plan is only $19.95 per month and it includes vision, prescription and chiropractic. With the dental there is no limit on visits or services. You get instant savings on services. There are many providers and specialists in your area. For more information, please contact me.
I live near a college that has a dental academy. They did a wonderful job when I had my cavities. They are very reasonabley priced they will do cleanings and fillings. Try calling your local schools that feature them. Some places will also go by your income and they charge based on that. Hope this helps.
