Toothache.. No dental insurance.?

I have a temp. crown on tooth #20. I haven't had a chance to go get the perm. crown put on. I got a root canal back in April. My dental coverage from the state got cut off on the 15th. I still get medical coverage. I woke up today & my tooth is killing me right around the area of the crown. What should I do? Should I go to the ER? If so, what will they do?
--------------------
Look and see for the dental school and sometimes they will help you..I know my family in San Antonio, Texas that is what they do because they dont have insurance either..and I donot think they charge.. they are students learning to become dentists and they are being spotted by a real Dentist as they do the work..try that..and see if you have one there..Hope I helped ..

No dental insurance! Low income! Where do I go? I'm in pain!?

I don't know where to go to have some very troubling teeth pulled. I had a couple root canals done with temporary crowns, which I find out that they really are temporary. The crowns fell off and on xmas day I woke up to a swollen face which got bigger and bigger! The swelling is gone now, but I need some guidance.

Does anyone have AETNA dental insurance?

and if so...for invisalign how much did you have to pay out of pocket?? i just need one for the bottom not top..
--------------------
Aetna is one of the companies we represent. Solid dental coverage, but it depends on what policy you have with them. Preventive coverage will be solid but major items will have some out of pocket expense. http://www.ohioquotes.com

Secondary insurance for Invisalign treatment?

I am planning to get myself Invisalign and looks like it a costly affair.My dental insurance has an orthodontic maximum of 1500, can I get a secondary insurance to cover the rest of the amount not covered by my primary?
--------------------
Probably won't be able to find one. Most policies do not coordinate benefits that way. If the primary has a benefit of $1,500 and the secondary has a max of $2,000 then the secondary might pick up a portion of the $500 difference. But there are waiting periods, and such. It wouldn't pay you back in benefits compared to the cost of the premium. Better just to save your pennies. You might be able to get a discounted rate if you can pay for the whole thing up front.

Dental schools in Fort Worth, Texas that will pull wisdom teeth for cheap?

I don't have very much money and no insurance. I have looked into buying some dental insurance but every one of them had a waiting period to get oral surgery done. I need them extracted as soon as possible. I can't sleep I have a constant headache, my jaw clicks. It would be ideal if a bill could be sent and I could make payments.
--------------------
There are no accredited dental schools in Fort Worth. However, the Baylor University Dental School is in Dallas, so you might want to check them out. The number for patients is 214-848-8441, and their main number is 214-448-8100. But most dentists can make payment arrangements, so you might also want to look into that. Even those dentists that are not set up to take payments over time themselves will often set you up with CareCredit or a similar time-payment plan. Anyway, if Baylor doesn't work out, ask your dentist about payments. http://www.carecredit.com/

Can i be put into collections if I am over 18 but under the insurance of my parents because Im in school? ?

I was in college and as under my parents dental insurance. A few months later I went to mexico for a religious mission and after coming back I realized that my credit report had a collection for dental bills from 2 years ago. This has really hurt me and I want it gone. What can I do? Please answer both questions.
--------------------
yes you can be sent to collections, you are an adult and that is all they care about, the only way to get rid of it is to pay them
