YES......: Please see the attatched article http://www.Washingtonpost.Com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/02/ar2007030201618.Html most cities have a dental clinic that you can go to, or even a dental school that offers services at a lower cost. You should look into this.

Yes: And you really can not afford to avoid treatment. The sooner you have treatment, the sooner you can begin to heal. You must seek rx immediately to avoid complications. Most dentists have payment plans. Dental schools have reduced fee schedules. Please don't put this off any longer.
