When was the last time you went to the dentist, due to financial issues
It has been awhile for me. Even with insurance it's expensive. ??? ::) :-X

I was there the day after Christmas! I had to have a tooth extraction and 3 fillings. This is what happens when you wait TOO long!  :( I too was stressed with the financial end of it, but as soon as you get some money together, please go! Make an appointment when you get your tax refund.  ;D Hope all goes well.

I went to the dentist just two weeks ago. I had to have a lot of expensive work done, like a new crown and other work. It was very expensive. Even though I have dental insurance, I still had to pay a lot. I sympathize with you. Maybe you could work out a deal with your dentist whereby you only pay a certain amount every month until you are paid up.

I didn't go for a long time and then when I went back I had to get a lot of work done that was expensive and painful. Not I go every six months.

A little over a year I have a tooth that had a rootcanal and now it is a broken tooth doesn't hurt but even with insurance a crown will cost 300-400.00 .

When I worked I had dental insurance and went every 6 months.  Now I don't have dental insurance so I can't afford to go as often as I would like to.

It has been awhile for me also.  I have dental insurance that pays for 2 cleanings a year, but everytime I go to the dentist he finds something wrong that ends of costing me a lot of money.

I go to the Dentist twice a year and have done so all of my life. I'm now 45 but I didn't have my first cavity until I was 27. Even if you can't afford to go to the dentist, you can still brush twice a day and floss. Perhaps you could ask the Dentist whether they have any kind of payment plan before starting treatment. I agree with your other responder, you should go as soon as you are able because what is a cavity today, could turn into an extraction tomorrow. If you don't ask, you'll never know. I am surprised at the charity of some people sometimes.

I am fortunate because there is a dental school close to me.  I get my teeth cleaned every six months free.

So they do a good job for you at the school.
