You can afford Internet access but you don't bother buying dental insurance? Then you're just out of luck. There's no free "emergency room" for dental problems. Sorry.

Contact the dental society for your county. Look for (county) Dental Society in the phonebook. Call and ask them if they have any programs for low-income people or people without insurance. Dental schools have long waiting lists and often do not offer the type of care you need but you can give them a try. Look for community clinics that do medical and dental for low-income or no insurance folks. Try sliding-scale fee clinics. Try contacting your state's dental society to see if they have programs. I really recommend that you try to see a good dentist no matter what the cost. If the dentist is cheap and does a bad job you could be worse off. Try working out payment arrangements with a dentist. I wish you the very best.

Call these schools and ask if they have a public dental clinic you can visit:
Johnson County Community College
12345 College Boulevard
Overland Park, KS 66210-1299
Search internet for phone number
Wichita State University
1854 North Fairmount
Wichita, KS 67260-0001
Program: Dental Hygiene
Phone: (316) 978-3614
If they don't have a clinic they may be able to refer you to a nearby dentist that works on low income people etc.

I am actually in the same boat. My employer doesn't offer insurance To their employees (and I work for a doctor). It is cheap when offered through a company you work for and the company pays part of it, but anyone who has checked into the prices of insurance for a private policy would realize they aren't as cheap as you think!
Now off my soap box and on to your question. I agree you should try to find a dental college. Alot of offices will allow payments also. Just call around and see what the offices have to say. Good luck and hope you are feeling better soon. I just had 2 wisdom teeth pulled last night and had to pay put of pocket for it. I don't know which hurt worse!

Anywhere and just pay cash. If you have some time though or at least for future problems, you can get an affordable dental plan from here: http://www.everyonebenefits.com/LMota

for the reason which you're close to a huge city i might advise going on your interior sight wellbeing facility that has a dental hospital. There you would be seen by a dental intern. they're going to cost you in accordance on your earnings and placed you on a charge plan. they can't deny you treatment through funds. supply them a decision. it can't harm!

Is there a dental college nearby? In my area, we have one and I saved big bucks getting my wisdom teeth extracted.
