Need Help Seeking Dentist That Will...

[lepgirl]

Hi All!

I have a friend that has been having some really severe tooth pain. He has had x-rays and has gotten a diagnosis. The tooth needs to be pulled soon due to infection and abcess. However, the problem is that he has no insurance and cannot afford to pay for the surgery at this time. Does anyone here know of a dentist that will possibly accept payments or do this at income-based cost? TIA!

If I had an infected tooth and couldn't afford to go to the dentist, that would be an option I would be willing to do

Tooth can't be yanked until the infection is gone. He needs to get on antibiotics; then start looking for a way to borrow the money so he can get it pulled when the infection is gone.

He's already had the antibiotics and needs to get it pulled before the infection comes back. Unfortunately, there is no one that can loan him the money.

What is his income?

He brings home approx. $250.00 or so a week.

Have him call around to all the dentist and see what they can work out. I'm sure one of them will be willing to help.

Dr Morgan and Associates in the building where Remax is located offers 0% financing plan for a certain period of time to their current patients after filling out some paperwork. It is possible it can be offered to new patients as well, and certainly worth looking into.

That would be the Morgan Professional Building in Mechcanicsville on Rt. 5, just before DJ's. 301 884-8133 Thats my Dentist.
