I have no insurance and bad credit. Do I have any options?

Does your office use IV sedation?
IV sedation is typically used only by an oral surgeon. Generally, the dentists will use a numbing gel or local anesthetic during treatments if needed. Oral sedation may also be available, pending the patient's medical history - be sure to discuss this with your dentist to determine if you're a good candidate.
Can my 17-year-old bring come to his appointment alone?
A parent or legal guardian must accompany anyone under the age of 18 during an office visit.
Why do regular visits matter?
Regular dental visits are important because they can help spot dental health problems early on when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable. They also help prevent many problems from developing in the first place. Visiting your dentist regularly is also important because some diseases or medical conditions have symptoms that can appear in the mouth. 
How can I maintain a healthy smile with my dentist's help?
Here are some tips to help you take care of your smile:
  • Healthy habits. Brushing twice a day for two minutes and flossing daily are essential for everyone, no matter how unique your mouth is. It’s the best way to fight tooth decay and gum disease. 
  • Build a relationship. Continuity of care is an important part of any health plan and dental health is no exception. When your dentist sees you regularly, he or she is in a good position to catch oral problems early. For instance, catching gum disease when it’s still reversible, or cavities when they are small and are more easily treated. 
  • Maintain. Keeping your mouth healthy is an essential piece of your overall health. It’s important to keep your dentist informed of any changes in your overall health as well. 
  • Talk about it! Only your dentist can determine what the best treatment plan is for you. Have questions about your oral health or certain dental procedures? Start a conversation. Ask your dentist to explain step-by-step. Dentists love having satisfied, healthy patients.
