Question:   I am in need of having my back tooth fixed since I broke it about a week ago, I am in a lot of pain.  I did call a few dental offices for an idea of cost but since they all state I would need X-rays and  a oral exam before even fixing the tooth the dental cost becomes to high for me.   Where do I find low cost dentist?  

Reply: Since you have a current toothache to deal with putting it off even more would not be the best idea. I suggest you look into getting a dental discount plan which will help off set your dental cost and make getting your tooth fixed more affordable.  You can also look into if there are any dental clinics or school in your area. Dental school and or clinics are normally much cheaper then your regular dentist.  A dental school is a place were students are learning to become a dentist therefore some times there work is free to little cost.  A dental clinic are available to low income families. So cost may very depending on your income.  Either one is at least worth checking into
