check around maybe you can find one that will let you on a payment plan. Good Luck, I hope you can get this done before it gets worse.

I see by your profile, that you do have a job. Do you ever have any days off where you could get a part-time job just till you can save up enough to get your teeth fixed? Have you talked to your employers to see if they have any suggestions?
You must be getting a salary of some kind. You will just have to cut down on expenses some way. Do you live with the family? Or do you have your own place?
If you live alone, could you get a roommate? Or move in with someone else?
Have you talked to social services to see if there is any aid available? Do you have any family who might help?
I know a woman who just can't find a job! She is in the age group where no one wants to hire her. And she said she may have to stop the internet for awhile.
It's hard when you are young. And it takes a lot to live these days. I hope someone else has some suggestions for you. This is all I can think of right now.
Good luck!

you should try to get your poor teeth taken care of as soon as possible so that they do not get worse. I would suggest trying to find a dental clinic because they are so much cheaper! That is what I have to use right now because I also have no health insurance. If you need help finding one, try looking them up in a phone book, or just ask around at different medical clinics. Someone is bound to be able to help you if you only ask them!
Best Wishes for a quick end to your teeth probs!(it kinds sounds like you might have soft teeth like me, so make sure you are brushing them alot and also flossing!)
Hope that this was helpful for you!

Try calling around to local dentists offices. Tell them your situation, and maybe they can help you out, or direct you to someone who can. After all, I am sure they have seen people in the same situation as you.
You might find a dentist that allows you to pay payments later for it (I know that still doesn't help you right now, but if you want to get it fixed, that may be the way you have to go).

If you have cavities, then have them fixed at once. Otherwise, abcess will surely follow...
As for how to get them fixed without spending much, then try asking around at dental schools. I believe dental students need patients to practice on! And they will do your teeth for much less than any regular dentist!!!

If you want "money wise" go get them taken care of while they are just cavities. If you wait they will become a different problem that will cost even more.

Most dentists will allow you to pay off bills based on your financial situation. They don't want to see you suffer, either.
