Ok so my friend just went to the dentist for her wisdom teeth, they are infected, they scheduled her for an emergency extraction tomorrow.
She is in alot of pain and feeling sick (fever,chest pain lethargic, dizzy)
The problem is her insurance will not begin to cover her for dental untill january. So her dentist said unless she has $2500 tomorrow they cant do anything for her, they put her on antibiotics for now.
She has no way to pay for it and they are unwilling to make a payment plan.
I need to know how seriouse this could be to her health and if you have any advice on what to do. Thanx

Maybe she should find another dentist or even an oral surgeon that will work out a payment plan?

What about going to the bank and getting a loan, or a line of credit to pay for this.
It's a health issue, can't imagine anything more important than one's health!
