I am a 22 year old female who does not have insurance. I do need to go to the dentist badly as well as get a check up and other medical needs. But, without insurance, it will cost a arm and a leg to get what I need taken care of. What should I do?

See what your state may offer. Some provide low cost insurance to those that cannot get it through work.

Do you have a job? You're probably covered under your employer's insurance plan.
Go to the dentist and tell them you don't have insurance & ask for a payment plan. If you just get an exam and cleaning, it's probably gonna cost around $100 or less. Don't get any extras like xrays, etc.

At least get the cleaning every 6 or 9 months if you nave to wait. If something is painful or youhave cavities or missing teeth, consider going to a dental school to get the work done. Some things (loose fillings) can wait a year or two sometimes. Ask. Good luck.

If you are in immediate need for medical or dental help go to your local Charity hospital. Despite what you may have heard their doctors are some of the best from around your local area..
You my be stuck waiting in a line it is not the fastest thing in the world but once again its a viable option to nothing.

join the service - it won't cost you a cent, and when you get out you have your college paid for, or if that's finished, some other schooling.
