You could try a dental nurse in your area, I know around here and back down home dental nurses will do fillings for a reasonable price, like $10 a tooth or something like that. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

Have you got a community services card? If so your local Hospital may have a special clinic that they run usually about $25 per appt.
Or phone around dentists and see if any are doing specials at the moment. But if you have a dentist that you normally go to then i would stick with him/her. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

I have had the same problem with my teeth, so i went to the dentist and she told me i needed lots and lots of fillings. The total cost was $360 and she is letting me pay it off, which is good.
My dentist doesn't take community services card which really sucked. ------------- Kelly, mother to 4 wonderful children. http://lilypie.com">

I bet you my dentist has a boat, if not two or three, from what he earns ! Which is a large part of why I hate going. I struggle to justify what they charge even just for a checkup  ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Im so lucky, I get dental for free through the hospital but hardly ever go cos Im to chicken (part of the reason I get it for free) They cant do much while your pregnant though well they wouldnt do xrays for me last time I went when I was about 8 weeks along. I think I would rather go through childbirth than go to the dentist I hate it so much ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

i get treatment for free too,part of the perks of my job (only perk really ..oh and i get an hour for lunch) and caitlyn also gets it free (if she comes to mine instead of the dental nurse,which is free anyway) my parents and siblings have 35% discount and friends have 10% discount.
but dental prices are still ridiculously high |
