the nearest medical college will have walk in emergency days, where a dental intern does the work with a trained dentist supervising every move, Virginia Commonwealth University is where i went once when i was down and out, the fee is MINIMAL. less than $100 normally, try finding one where you live, but don't expect more anesthesia than a bit of Novocaine

try calling the dental school in your area. they treat patients in order to get hands on experience.

A dental infection or absess can kill you! He needs to go to a dental clinic or a dental school and get it taken care of right away. Call the social services dept. for information.

your friend could also try the local dental college. it will take much more time but the prices are much cheaper and you get quality service. i know it dosent sound appealing but consider that- they dont just turn students loose to do as they may, they are carefully supervised by a dentist at all times. you often have several people working on you so your far more likely to get an accurate opinion on dental work. your quite frequently seen by more than 1 dentist and several students. your local community college may have a dental program that does routine care if her requires more advanced care they can refer him to another location. you can also try calling your county social services for listings of low cost or free heathcare

He needs to purchase dental insurance outright. Even though the cost of it, it will still be cheaper then paying cash and with no insurance he'll be required to pay up front.

Look for a dental school in the area.
Check out dental discount plans on the internet.
(The savings is about 40% on treatment)
Most dentists will allow no interest loans or check out Care Credit.
