--------------------
Funding has been cut way back for free dental clinics in Florida. Along with everything else, it has been a victim of the recession. There are a few places left that will provide dental care for free (look up "Community Smiles") but the waiting list is unbelievable--over a year!!! If you have pain, you need to go to a dentist, and you need to do it now. Most dentists can work out both a treatment plan and a payment plan. They can fix the hurting teeth first, and then do the others later on. And for payment, many dentists will take payment over time, and others will work with someone like CareCredit, which will allow you to stretch out your payments. (See http://www.carecredit.com/) It really doesn't make sense to put off treating those cavities, or at least the bad ones. If you do, you may wind up needing a root canal, which is 10 times as expensive or more (literally). I wish I knew a terrific and inexpensive dentist, but good dentists usually aren't cheap, and cheap dentists (unless they are doing volunteer work for charity) usually aren't terrific. Just get recommendations for a dentist from friends, family, or coworkers, and work something out with him or her.
