Root Canals and Crowns for Cheap or Free?!
Question:
Root Canals and Crowns for Cheap or Free?
My friend has really bad teeth, pretty much neglected for about 10 years or so. I've taken her to Sears Dental, willing to take some of the cost. They've fixed two cavities, and they say she'll need 4 root canals with crowns and all, one tooth being particularly difficult (all 4 are front teeth), and an estimated cost of $7000.
Now, don't bother me with stupid answers like "get a credit card" or "you get what you pay for" or anything like that. She has bad credit, and $600/month income (SSI/disability), and I'm not willing to pay for any more work than I paid for, certainly not in the thousands range.
She lives in Chicago SW suburbs. Give me ideas how to fix her teeth on her budget.

Honestly this might be a lost cause. How about dentures? It gets to the point where this sounds like your best option.
