My neighbors grandson needs dental work, He has a minimum wage job and no health insurance and he needs to have all teeth pulled. He tried Univ. Of MD dental school and that is way too expensive. Can anyone help? I am willing to help pay a little, but I am no where near the $5,000 that he was quoted at U of M dental school.
--------------------
That amount of money seems very high for the dental school with the students treating the patient. ($5,000 is close to what someone in private practice would charge for the extractions and denture). It could be that he got into the wrong department and that is the price quoted if a faculty member does the procedures. Your neighbor should try again and make sure that he gets a quote from the undergraduate student clinic. If in fact that is correct, there are usually indigent dental clinics that people qualify for. If you call the county department of health or the state board of dentistry, they should have a list of clinics that perform free or reduced fee dentistry. It is extremely nice of you to be concerned with your neighbor's grandson. Good-luck with your quest.
