I don't have much money, in the process of getting dental insurance, where can i get emergency dental help?

Im in so much pain. I signed up for dental insurance, but it won't go into affect until 2 months from now. Where can i go for help in norfolk, va??

Actually there are not dental insurances that I know of that will pay for something that is considered a pre-existing condition. So if you go to the emergency room and try to bill your insurance before it goes into effect than they won't pay for it. Any treatment you seek is going to have to come out of your pocket. Check into any dental schools in your area, they may be able to get you in at a reduced rate than a normal private practice. Also check for clinics in your area that accept payment on a sliding scale. Meaning depending on what your income is will depend on how much you pay. At the very least you may be able to see your regular MD who may be able to prescribe you something for your pain, and an antibiotic if you have any infection going on. Good luck.
