contact your local health department and see if they have a free dental clinic

Try calling the local Techinical schools or Commuinty Colleges taht have Dental programs or classes, They need live paitients for thier sudents and so you get really cheap dental work done. (it shouldn't cost more than 100 bucks)
The students are usually well schooled and have had anywhere from a few-to-several months of training. Plus their teacher present during the preceedure.
Ask lots of questions first

Mexico: You'll pay pennies on the dollar for the work. And you'll be regretting it for the rest of your life.
If you are young and desperate, try joining the military - all medical and dental is free. NOT into joining? Marry a service member; same deal applies to you.
Hmmm, thinking about it now, I'd go with the Mexico Dental Plan.

Bret, your best bet is eHealthPlus. They Will give you 50%-60%
reduction on prices with reputable dentists in your area in
Arlington on root canals, crowns, or even extractions. Since
you're in pain, they include a prescription card for the painkillers
and other prescriptions that the dentist might prescribe.

Well if u can afford a ticket, head to Costa Rica...or some Latin american country. They are really good and it's much cheaper than TX. You can get a root canal, crown, and a vacation for cheap!

First, check with your local city or county health clinic or health services. They may offer dental work for free or at a reduced price. Sometimes dentists donate their services to these clinics.
Second, see if there's a dental college nearby. They may offer the same as part of the training for their students.
Finally, if you have a dentist you've seen before, ask him/her if they can work with you, or if they know someone who can.

In Canada we can go to a Dental College and have students work on our teeth for free..it's good experience for them...check around...make sure a Qualified Instuctor is present.

You should look in the phone book for a dental college. They let the students do the work for very reduced prices.

From experience, you wont get any help. I tried everywhere for my sister, and I couldnt find one single organization or dentist that would help. The only thing that you can do it try and find a dentist that will take payments.I hope that you find someone, I know how hard this can be. good luck.
