I AM IN NEED OF EXTREME URGENT DENTAL CARE?
- Chosen by Voters You might want to see if a local dental school can help you http://www.ada.org/267.aspx.I have dental insurance, but I have used a local dental school (in Oklahoma) for gum grafts, braces, and extractions. The prices are very modest; for instance, my last gum graft (two days ago) was $320. You can use your insurance at dental schools.The only "con" I find in using a dental school is that you may have to wait months until the students are in a particular part of their curriculum where they're studying what you need. I waited five months to get my last gum graft.The students who work on you are already dentists (in most instances); they're just getting specialty education in areas like periodontics or orthodontics. There is always an instructor available to step in if needed. Source(s): Healthcare teaching assistant. 5 months ago 100% 2 Votes
