I have two teeth that needs to be filled. It's hard finding a dentist to do it since I'm over 21 and my insurance won't pay for it. How can I get someone to take care of this? I'm constantly having bad ear and jaw pain.

You pay for it yourself then... you probibly spend money on other things you can do without to save money to have that done... before the teeth have to be pulled because they are too far gone to save. And they certainly will get to that point.

I'm unable to do so. I lost my job and have my family helping me with da main stuff I need to get by. I call different places but they don't want to do a payment plan. That's the only way I can get that taken care of by not having the money all at once.

If you are having pain in your jaw and ear from cavities in your teeth then this is an immediate problem.

You can try phoning dental hygiene schools as they sometimes do no or low pay clients for dental emergencies.

I would also ask people in your area (such as charities or Church organisations) as sometimes there are clinics set up at various times to help people in a situation such as you are in. They aren't permanent practices. And they would usually know about them before many other people would.

You can also call schools in your area and ask to speak with the school nurse. They keep lists of dentists willing to give free or reduced dental work for students and their families. Those dentists are usually very willing to help people in need.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to start on that today. :)
