Case Description
I saw a dentist about 2 years ago who examined me and said that I needed to have my wisom tooth extracted. I made an appointment, but later lost my job and dental coverage. The problem has worsened since then and is causing me great pain/discomfort. I'm concerned about infection also. I am currently employed part-time and do not qualify for dental coverage. Is there a low income or out of pocket dental program/office that I can get go to or sign up for?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
