CareCredit: Many dentists will take carecredit. It is a credit card you can use at the dentist or other doctor's offices that allows you to make payments. Find a dentist who takes carecredit and sign up. If you cannot do that, then you may be able to see a dentist who volunteers their services occasionally. Look online to find someone in your area who does "volunteer dentistry.".

Ask friends: Ask friends, co-workers, or your local dental society for recommendations. Check online for dentists in your area that provide financing. If there is a dental school nearby it may be of help. Check to see if there is any public assistance in your area for dental work.

Payment plans: Try a dentist that accepts carecredit or something like it that will give you the option to have no interest payments for at least 6 months, or you can get lower fees by going to your local dental school for treatment, it will take longer and you will prob. Be seen by students but cheaper.

Internet!: Most offices have websites and many will list their payment options. There is usually an option of no-interest payments through a third-party lender that will let you spread out the payments over 3 months up to two years. You should also check out the reviews that office gets from patients who have been there. They are usually on the website as well as from independent sources.

Really bad teeth: Dentists are small business people, and as such need to be compensated as th work is accomplished. They do not "lend" money interest free. Unfortunately you have fallen into the ,"Dentistry isn't expensive. Neglect is" trap. There are companies that lend money for terms. Askyour Dentist about Care Credit. Consider a bank loan. Seek a Social Services cliic. Seek treatment at aDental School.
