Dental School: Or a hospital based dental residency program. You will most likely pay reduced fees in either location. All the best...

Other options:: Locate a local free\reduced fee clinic using this website: http://www.Freedentalcare.Us/ or... Consider paying out of pocket, work out a payment plan, look into carecredit or the citihealthcard payment plans. Any of these options will save you money and grief in the end.

SmileSaver: Is a discounted dental plan. Very affordable with many members and over a thousand participating dental offices. You’ll benefit from the quality and individual attention of private care, and the value and convenience of a group plan. I hope it helps.

Need to see dentist: Need to see a dentist before the decay gets deeper and leads to an infection that will require a root canal which will be more costly then the current condition. Speak to the dentist and see what financing plans they offer

Infection: You need to do what you would do if you had an infection anywhere else in your body, seek immediate treatment, whether you have insurance or not. Fixing a cavity is cheaper than root canal/crown which is cheaper than extraction/implant/crown which is cheaper than extraction/arch collapse. Talk to your Dentist about financing options.
