Short term dental insurance for root canal?

Not to sound like a scammer, but my girlfriend is in a pretty bad situation. She is a graduate student, and has limited medical coverage with absolutely no dental. She had not visited a dentist in two years, and recently had a visit that resulted in a recommendation for a root canal and crown. Looking at fee structures, it would appear that the whole procedure could easily cost $1500+. As a grad student, she obviously was not prepared for this. I've looked online at "discount" plans, and see ones that (for ~$5-10/mo) give you about a 20% price break. Still not that desirable ... Is there any "easy" out in this situation? Without spending thousands of dollars? Thanks in advance!

have you looked at AmeriPlan yet? AmeriPlan has month-to-month programs for $19.95/month, with discounts up to 80%. You can check their fee schedule on-line.
