Answers:
Check out whether there is a dental school near you. They usually cost a LOT less since they are dental students. They are supervised, don't worry, and they usually do a great job. Also, some dentists will let you pay over time. Hope this helps.
they will want cash. I would say your a cash patient, and after the procedure say you left your card in the car, and drive off. they will bill you then. Ive always wanted to do that. im kidding there rates kill ya though... If you have good credit or anyone in your family you can get a dental card they have the form in the dentist offices, and gives you credit so you can pay monthly. otherwise they can pull it for probably 80.0-200 call around, and ask how much an extraction is if your paying cash only, and if they will give you medicaid rates if they accept medicaid as your going to school. good luck, it will become absesed, and you can die from this so please dont wait if its getting infected.
If there is a health dept. in Seattle, they may have a dentist there that can help you. They charge on a sliding scale and it's very low-cost.
