you dont need to be on a benifit to recieve emergency dental help from WINZ. if you take a bank statement in that shows you cant make a lump sum then they will pay up to $300.
Alianasmummy, i rang them yesterday and its $200, plus they wouldnt see us yesterday.
We rang every single dentist number in the phone book, and thats alot! Not one of them would let us pay it off, not even one. They all said payment on the day.
So he only got one pulled out and he has to go get the other done next week becasue they think he has a abcess under his tooth, because she jabbed him 3 times for that tooth to make it numb and it wouldnt go numb. So she refused to remove it. DF said he would handle the pain if it meant he no longer had a tooth ache but she wouldnt let him lol.

winz wouldn't help us. they also wouldn't help my friend who is also not on a benefit. and they could see that either of us couldnt afford the one off payment.
But winz is like that.....
We had a lovely old lady come in once, she has lived here her whole life and has paid all her taxes, she had no money because her husband had died recently and she had taken his ashes to Scotland.
We sent her down to WInz with a winz form thingymajig, and she came back and said they had declined her .
So i rang and told them off , and they approved her .
I was not impressed .
I do know some dentists that will let you pay it off, or get finance, trouble is they have so many people who don't end up paying that they don't really like risking that.
And lol at your DP Kandice, We took a man's tooth out with no anesthetic before , a big tough looking guy with tatoos everywhere i could see...and he cried for an hour afterwards ...
And they should be able to see if he's got an absess by doing an xray , to save him coming back again just to be told she wont do it
