See if an oral surgeon can accept a payment plan...also you might want to check to see if you can get medicaid or something like that...it's based on your income so you may qualify. Don't put something like that off, you need to get it taken care of. Sometimes dr's will work with you, you never know until you ask. Some dental clinics also have dental credit cards that you can pay off in time. Def. check on the medicaid thing, that can help out a lot.
Just type in the name of your state and medicaid and you will find the site with information. Don't delay!!
Good luck!!
Well I have been dealing with my wisdom teeth for a while now. The good thing is eventually the pain will stop, but will always come back. I would look into how much it would cost and try to save up the money. Or somehow look into getting an insurance policy. Even if you get insurance sometimes they limit what you can get done until you have had the insurance for a year. That ways it prevents people from getting coverage only when they need it. Goodluck! Even with my insurance they wanted $600 so I just have not gotten them removed. I am thinking about doing it now though,because they are starting to hurt again!
check in your phone book for a dentist with payment plans and go and get a consult for oral surgery.
i am in the same sort of situation with my teeth... i have a severe cavity and no dental insurance. i don't know what i am going to do either, but i have found an affordable dental office in my area as well as a few clinics that are set up specifically for the uninsured.
look around.
good luck!
