Goto your city hall and ask about it. In my county in california, they have a dental program set up for indigent people.
Reply:get a friend to punch your face in, that should get rid of the sore teeth.
Reply:Dude you need to go get on medi-cal. Once you start the paperwork go to the dentist apt's. Tell them that you are applying for insurance and have none at the moment. They will ask for your addy and all that jazz to start billing you. The cool part is "medi-cal" is retroactive for 3 months before you apply.... so by the time your paperwork is all done and you are fully covered by medical and will have your card, give them the bill, there ya go. BTW are you retired or injured and can't work, the medi-cal office might send you to a "cal-works/jobs" class. Here is a site that might help, everything can be done online. Hope it works.

Get that Ameriplan card that the prior responder told you about!


Without insurance it is the single best way to save money at the dentist plus you don't have to worry about any forms or pre-existing conditions!


Good luck!
