a slightly different dentist post

[aspasia02.livejournal.com]

I've gone through all of the posts about local dentists through the community tags, but I have a slightly more specific question: where might I find a reliable and reasonably priced dentist in the area? I have no dental insurance and very, very limited funds for health-related bills. I'm afraid I'll need several fillings, so I'm looking at a high bill wherever I go, but with that in mind I'd like to keep it as low as humanly possible. I've already been scared off of Gentle Dental and all of its permutations, and I do know about the Tufts dental school (already had two root canals done there). Any suggestions for local dentists who don't charge an arm and a leg for a tooth or two? Or any who might give a discount to local students?

Dental Insurance

You can go to Delta Dental's website and sign up for their insurance. It's probably similar to the Aetna plan lonelyholiday mentioned...and it's also like $100 per year. You just sign up and pay online and if you do it before the 21st of any given month, you will be covered as of the first of the next month. So, do it before February 21st and you'll have dental insurance by March 1.

are you sure that this plan is available in Massachusetts? I went to their website and looked around, and the only thing I could find about buying in as an individual was listed by state, and MA was not one of them. Is there an option I missed somewhere?
