How does one pay for dental in the US without dental insurance?
I'm over the 120% poverty line but I still struggle in life, even though I live alone.

I was approved by CreditCare, but with their 29.99% interest rate, that's a Mafia type loan.

Not only this, but complete reconstructive costs are 45k with a loan that is impossible to pay for the rest of your life (and that doesn't even include the additional interest on top of this with using CreditCare or other such loans to subsidize the final costs).

I guess there's always the special rate of somewhere near 35k if you have that type of immediate cash in your back pocket.

Is it just not possible anymore?

Is there any way to get through such a horrible system?

I'll never understand how dental or eyes will never be covered with even a premium health policy in the US.

For each of those two conditions, you need more insurance and more money. :(

I'm 43 and saved my whole life, and I observe excellent nutrition so that I don't need a dentist much. That's how I plan to go about it.

Re: How does one pay for dental in the US without dental insurance?
I'm not sure. We don't carry health insurance but we do have really good dental and vision. I suppose you just have to save and save or you can try to find a dentist that will do payment arrangements. You put a certain amount down and pay weekly or monthly on the remainder of the bill.
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

Before president Niqqer fucked everything up, I was putting money in an HSA/MSA tax free for ANY medical product or procedure.

I can still spend my MSA money, but the Niqqer killed my ability to continue to fund it.

Re: How does one pay for dental in the US without dental insurance?
Hope this info can just help and get you through!

I had tooth pain constantly and lost some teeth when I used conventional toothpaste. Those days are gone.

I changed to toothsoap (basically like dr bronners) but I get mine from rose of sharon acres, made specifically for teeth.

I have not had toothpain or even thought of a dentist in the 2 years I have used it. It has helped my gums and teeth.

I was using sens odine before and that really messed up my teeth, took about 4 months for them to NOT be sensitive anymore, that stuff is a scam.

Turns out if there is silica, baking soda, calcium carbonate etc in the toothpaste, they will scratch your enamel badly. That was what was causing my pain in my teeth.

Also, Glycerin is in every toothpaste and even all the natural ones. Glycerin covers our teeth allowing them to not remineralize. Fluoride in my opinion terrible as well but for other reasons.

Toothsoap has minimal glycerin, none added like toothpaste

The bottle will last awhile too since your just using 2 drops of the soap per brushing.

Also, when I had bad pain I added about 5 drops of clove essenial oil to the toothsoap bottle. I found it really helped with the pain and any infections or tooth decay I had. It was amazing and the beginning to having manageable teeth again.

A helpful book is "how to cure tooth decay" by Rami Nagal

I'm from Canada and was going to have new upper dentures made and the prices was close to $3000

Now I am having new dentures made here in Panama for $350 US.

You need to buy a cheap ticket to South or Central America to get your dental work done.
