Answer 1

There is a very in-expensive but high-quality dental plan that can help you with that. It doesnt pay 100%, but can save you signifcant money, and most dentists are good about taking payments if you at least have a plan of some sort. Another good thing is, unlike tradional insurance, everyone in the US qualifies for it (except alaska and montana) Read on:

~Dental, Vision, Rx, and Chiropractic plan
~$11.95/month individual or $19.95/month entire household

Answer 2

Do you have a dental school in your area? Usually, dental schools provide care to people who don't have insurance, and who are willing to allow dental students "practice" on them (under the supervision of a dentist). Otherwise, I think its pretty difficult to get dental care without insurance. You could check with local dentists and see if they'd be willing to work on you over time, with a payment plan. Good luck - dental health is important for your overall health, so its good to get your cavities taken care of.

Answer 3

Some communties have free dental clinics. Welfare will sometimes pay. Save you money. Most dentist have a "medical credit card", simply apply at their office. It is called "Care Credit".

Answer 4

Go to social services.
or...
If there is a school where dentists get their training in your area you can get work done at affordable prices.

Answer 5

I don't think you can do that much to help this problem. Dental work is expensive. Find the cheapest place or maybe try a payment plan.

Answer 6
