I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what to do when you have no money to go to dentist. I am really worried about my teeth. I am 28 live in Canada and no way I can afford to go at the moment, i havnt gone since I was 24 and 18 is the cutoff here. I cant get any of those health loans online because I have bad credit. Other then saving up for a million years on mylot what the hecks a person to do?

I just wonder about your user name, "hasnotbeentaken." I guess you are already taken!
Anyway, I think you try to inquire in your health department if there are free medical mission teams conducting their medical missions in your area. This is the most probable answer to your question. Or if you have friends who know of a dentist, you can use them and pay later.

LOL my name is from frustation of my regular name being taken. Yes theres a little bit of irony in it i guess:)
thanks for the response, Do you mean borrow from friends or ask them for a referal to a dentist and ask dentist to "bill me"? Do you know if dentists do that or do they require payment right then? Maybe then I can pay them in a couple months and they can wait...
Im a bit afraid of mediacl mission teams that are free i always worder if they arnt very good if their free?

Gee I don't know what you can do, here in Australia we can go to the Dental Hospital or get government assistance, I hope you can come with way as teeth can cause big problems not to mention the vanity side of things...good luck with it all.

ask your local parish for help.a lot of churches will help people one time to pay a medical bill.
you don't have to be of their religion either.
i know i've done that.
