Case Description
I just found out this morning that I need a deep cleaning and the #32 tooth removed because of decay. I work, however don't have any insurance and can't afford $800 (all at once) for the scaling and god knows how much for the extraction. I am willing to make payments and even offer my administrative/clerical services if necessary. I just need someone who can help and willing to work with me. I am afraid the pain its getting worse and traveling to other areas.

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.

Since you live in Macomb County, you are eligible for the Careington Dental Discount plan available to residents who do not have dental insurance. Speak to someone in the Harrison Twp City Hall and ask for the paperwork to enroll. Otherwise, my office does have dental insurance for the uninsured. What type of an extraction has #32 been diagnosed? Can you have your current x-rays duplicated? You can apply with CareCredit or AllCare for dental financing up to 12-18 months at 0%. What pain medication are you currently on? How many areas of your mouth require the scaling and root planning?
