slide 2: Top Ways to Save Money on Getng a Tooth
Filling or Extracton
These are the two most common procedures for both adults and children. Some people may
need a root canal here and there but most people opt for a flling or extracton if that is an
opton. First of all it’s easier. Second it’s usually cheaper.
Just because it’s cheaper doesn’t mean that it is always afordable though. There are so
many families that are struggling to make ends meet that it can come down to getng a
tooth pulled or paying the electrical bill.
Fortunately these helpful tps will make sure that families get the care that they need
without having to negotate with the electric company.
Free clinics
There are a few free clinics around the country every so ofen. The best way to fnd one is to
search “free clinic” with the name of the city and the state. If that doesn’t turn up just
search the state.
These clinics are usually held in large conventon centers. Professionals in the feld donate
their tme to help people with basic needs such as a teeth cleaning a tooth extracton or a
flling and it’s all free. There are usually people available to help individuals fnd coverage for
future needs as well.
California Dental Plan
This one is going to cost some money but it’s well worth it. For the same price as getng two
teeth flled a person can usually purchase a California dental plan. A California dental plan
will last for a year any number of people can be included and they help families save money
on most procedures.
The good things about a California dental plan is that it will help families save more than
most insurance companies do and it will cost less. Also these can be paid for on a yearly
basis so families will not have to worry about another bill to pay every single month. For
families that need more than a standard cleaning or one tooth extracton a California dental
plan is a great opton.
OTC Filling
These are not a permanent soluton but they can help out when families need to save up
some extra money before they can get to the dentst. Over the counter flling kits are
available at a low cost and they provide the same protecton that a flling does.
slide 3: On the downside these are intended to be used on a short-term basis. Because of that
families cannot expect for them to last long term. They will stll need to fnd a way to the
dentst or a free clinic in their area.
Sliding fee clinics
There are some clinics that are not free but they do operate on a sliding fee basis. This
means that the porton that the patent pays is based on their income. A patent has to bring
copies of identfcaton for all patents check stubs verifcaton of household income and
possibly other paperwork.
The staf at the clinic uses this to determine how much the patent pays. This could be
anywhere from nothing to full price. Ofen the staf will inform the patent of the price
before completng the procedure giving them the opton to not have it done. These are
great for low income families that are not able to purchase a California dental plan yet.
Having a toothache is one of the worst pains. A tooth can wind up infected resultng in half
of the mouth swelling up a child being in severe pain and a trip to the emergency room
which can cost thousands of dollars. Instead forget the pain and shelling out too much
money by considering these afordable optons.
