My dentist isn't cheap either but cheaper than others I guess. I just go when I have to and owe him from last time. See if the regular dentist is willing to work out a payment plan so you can get it pulled...
I will keep my eyes out and check the link again for a place by you that maybe you could use...
in response to Starshine...hello starshine, i went there, they did nothing and charged as much as a regular dentist! i am below poverty and can u believe they charged me that much? if i had known i would have went to the regular dentist! at least they would have pulled the tooth that was causing me pure agony and grief!!!! this place is a joke! why want any one be honest and help people any more?! the world is so full of greed!!!!! thanks for trying to help, i appreciate any and all the help we can get! kbee
