I have a few cavities and i have called every dentist in the phone book and no one will help me. I brush and floss daily but I have always gotten cavities easily. I am only 21 years old i can't stand the idea of having messed up teeth so young someone please give me some advice. I live in central Ga.
thanks

Find out where the local dental school is. There is usually a small fee and plenty of time involved. But, it's a good way to take care of things now. And sometimes it's better to pay out of pocket for small fillings then wait for insur. and pay for crowns. Good luck!

As the first person said, dental schools operate for reduced fees, very inexpensive. Also, most places have clinics with reduced fees based on income. Check the phone book, or call your local health department.

You can try the college or university in your area that has a dental school. The students have to practice during their last year and are supervised by by their teacher, who is a dentist.
My older brother did this when he was 20 y/o and had no money.

Ask the dentist if you can pay him over a three month no interest payment. Fillings are not real expensive, crowns and bridges, root canals, oral surgery, etc., is expensive. Try to get on Medicaid otherwise, if you do not make much money, you might qualify. Check into it.
