Case Description
I haven't been to the dentist in almost 10 years. The last few weeks I wake up with blood on my teeth from bleeding gums and feel that one of my teeth may be slightly loosening up. I think I have a gum disease and want to get it fixed. The problem is, I am a college student and can't afford to pay a dentist up front. Are there dentist offices that allow billing options? I really need to get this fixed!

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
