i cant find a dentist anywhere around me that accepts my insurance?

i live in massachusetts and i live on the border of rhode island and mass.. I have MassHealth Commonwealth Care/ BMC Health net plan and Doral Dental.. the trouble is finding a dentist.. i do not drive because of personal issues so its hard to get around.. and there is not ONE city around me accepting it. i am in pain everyday.. and if the pain is bad enough i go to the emergency room for quick treatment where they give me a list of dentists.. but the trouble is i called all of them and they dont accept my insurance even though the hospital said they do. i am getting really frustrated and upset over the pain i have to deal with.. it was infected at one point but i took medication and the infection went away. so0 now i am in wonder how or when i will get these dreadful things out and be done with it... if anyone knows of a place or somewhere i can call to find someone that would be great, i am going to try 1800dentists right now to see if that will help.. prob not though.. thanks!

Another option could be to call around and see if any Dentist in your area may offer a discount if you were to pay cash, even without the insurance. Sometimes it can be cheaper then if you were to use the insurance. And most people don't to ask for the cash discount and the dentist office isn't going to simply offer it to anyone, that is unless they know enough to ask about it themselves. You can also check to see if there are any Ameriplan providers near you, and if so see how much it will be to get your pain taken care of with the Ameriplan discount. You can look at the plans on the site http://www.mybenefitsplus.com/cberney The Dental plan is only $19.95/mo. for an entire household up to 20 people, or $14.95/mo. for individual. I know that I personally have used the plan for over 2 years and have seen huge savings. I saved over $600 on just 1 root canal last year. Hopefully this will be able to offer you some help. Good Luck! And let me know if you have any trouble doing a search for providers on the site, it can sometimes get a bit tricky.
