I currently have no insurance. I will receive health insurance after the first of the year, but it does not include dental. I am trying to figure out how to go to the dentist without dental insurance.

Call and ask the nearest dental office if payments in instalments are accepted, than go and pay by cash, or cheque; if necessary pay the whole amount by a credit card. Also, the dental schools allow their students to practise under supervision and the patients get the low cost treatments. Good luck.

I need to go see a dentist bad, with no health insurance, little money, is there a thing as free dental care?

I live in california

find a local university or community college that has a dental program. they offer cleanings and some minor repairs. problem is it will take longer, and they are still learning so screw-ups are possible.

I would also suggest calling all dentists in your area. some of them will allow you to make monthly payments. I had to get 2 pulled a while back- no insurance, i make too much money for gov't assistance, but a $300 dental bill would have killed me and my kids. I found a really great dentist who let me pay him $10/month. It was really quite amazing.

I also remember, from back when i was little that my church had a free dental day, where a couple of the dentists who attended would get together to help members in need. You may try that route as well.

good luck to you.

I am a little nervous about having a tooth pulled on Thrusday. It will be the first time and hopfully the last, what type of meds will the dentist prescribe for pain? How long will the pain last because I am scduduled for 9am and I need to return to work the same day?

He should prescribe an antibiotic and a narcotic.

I need to have my teeth cleaned and some work done, but, I have very sensitive gums..Does anyone know about the dentists and hygienists at Community Dental Care? I'm new to Bixby, and this dental office is close to where I work. Any help would be appreciated. I also heard they were open very early, so, that's a plus for me. Thanks.

I hav enever heard anything bad about them and I live in Tulsa.

I have a really bad gum infection on a wisdom tooth. My teeth are fine and healthy as I see a dentist every six months so I think it’s just from a bit of food stuck in there rather than an underlying problem.

Other than antibiotics, what will the dentist do? Do they lance the gum or anything first?
Edit: he won't pull them out as he says they're fine, just a little crowded.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm 28.

I am very scarred of the dentist. I think my filling has chipped and I would like to know if i need a total filling replacement , what does the dentist do. Do they have to redrill, or is there a way they can remove the filling without having to drill? Also, the chip is very very small and cannot be seen, but i can feel it with my tounge, could he just fill in the chip, or will there be a total replacement of the filling?

Sometimes they can just file down the sharp part, but sometimes they would have to replace the filling. Unfortunately, they would redrill it out and put in a new one.

I have looked everywhere for cheap to no cost dental work. I am disabled and only live on $452/ mo. My teeth are in bad shape from having three children back to back. Its so bad sometimes when I try to eat food, pieces of my teeth break off. Please help me.

1800 dentist, explain your complete situation to them

check in with social services, and see what they have

lastly, if those 2 dont work, then i would go from one dentist to another pleading for them to do pro bono work. you will get one that will help

I need to get my 4 quadrants scaled now what is the average price a dentist charges for this type of work?

I got mine done last year in Mississippi. It was also close to $900.00, $225 per quadrant.

Why is there lack of services offered to alabamaians when it comes to health? where in alabama can a person go for donated dental services, an other health related services for the poor?

You could go to a dental school where they practice on patients with an overseeing dentist for low cost, but each session is like 3 hours long! ( I tried it a few times!)
Or you can get a discount medical card (like I did!)
The company is AmeriPlan USA and they have 4 different plans for people who can't afford normal insurance coverage.
It covers all on-going medical and dental problems, with no physicals or paperwork to fill out. If this is something you are considering, I can tell you how it personally works for me.. and you can contact some of the dentists and doctors in your area to see the savings you could recieve with Ameriplan.
At the website you can click on the contact section.. and it gives my phone #. I'm central time, so I only ask that you don't call after 9. p.m. Thank you!
