Call your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale. Your local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic. In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information." Go to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs. Check to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you. Check and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you. If worse comes to worse, check out and see if you can find a funding source.

Dental insurance is a joke. I don't know if all dental insurance is the same but Aetna seems to be a scam. They need to offer a better plan for more money or revamp the whole thing. I had a root canal in 1999 or 2000 and it recently cracked from back to front of my mouth. Anyway I needed the tooth pulled and bone regeneration done for a titanium implant. The first part of the procedure was $ 1165.00 + check up visit costs. Aetna dental covered $116.00 of that cost and about $30 for visits. The titanium implant is going to be $2000.00 and aetna will not cover one cent. After the implant has time to set then I will get a crown over the implant and Aetna will cover a little less than half of the cost, I hope.

Their fees tend to be low. In Houston, the University of Texas has a dental school. Becoming a Patient at UT: Patients are accepted to the Dental Branch based on their need for either comprehensive ("complete") or emergency/limited care. Our school clinics include predoctoral ("student"), postdoctoral (advanced general dentistry and dental specialty), and dental hygiene. Through these clinics and others located in outside facilities, we are able to provide care for a wide variety of patient needs. Here is the contact number: Patient Line (Appointments and Information) Adults and children over 10 yrs 713.500.4000 Good luck. I would try your local dental school. Their fees tend to be low.

These are students who finishing up their degree and have to get used to working on people before they go out in the field. Also if your friend has low income, try applying for benefits of some sort. If she is working, they might be able to help her out sooner. Try looking for dental clinics.
