You could try dental schools in your area. The students do the work for the cost of materials, labor is free. It's good practice for them for the "real" world after school.


Also, ask your dentist about payment plans, how long they are willing to run one for you. The longer that they will run one, the cheaper the monthly bill would be.


As far as I know, there is no government funded dental assistance for adults. The private programs I know of are discount programs, you pay a monthly fee for % off medical bills.
Reply:there is a plan that dentists can tell you about called medicreit or something like that, they will loan you up to like 5k and give you a year to pay it back

Reply:If you live close to Mexico - you can get great dental care for about one quarter of the cost in the U.S. I live in Mexico near Tijuana and cheap dental work is all over the place. I recomend Dr. Carlos Gallegos in La Mision - about 30 minutes south of Tijuana. His phone number (from the states) is 011-52-646-155-0628. I've been to him for my wisdom teeth and my housemate had his entire mouth capped. He is very affordable and safe.
