Dental Halth Care, Few cavities no dental insurance
What can I do? I was told that I have three cavities in my molars two on top and one on the bottom. I do not have dental insurance. I am not in major pain but one of the cavities is hurting me on and off.
The dentist will not take a payment plan from any one. I was quoted 250.00 for all the filling needed but only have about 100.00. I would have to wait another two months before I would have 250.00 but that only if I do not spend my money during that time. Advise please. Living in AZ.

Well you may want to look into getting a dental discount plan. A discount plan will save you money on your dental needs and it start right away with no waiting periods.

I agree you should get some type of dental plan or dental insurance if possible before having the dental work started. It should save you money and make it more affordable to you.

Just have the one tooth that his hurting you fixed now. Then as you are able to save up money get the other dentist needs addressed. That way you are not having to come up with the whole $250 at once and you do not have to deal with any pain while you are getting the rest saved up.

You maybe able to shop out your dentist. See if you can find on that will charge you less or offer you a payment plan.
Otherwise get insurance like an HMO dental plan that does not have waiting periods but would be low cost and affordable for you.
