dental assistance

Hello,
I'm still in Quartzsite, and leaving in the next month or so. Unfortunately, I have developed a need to visit a dentist and wondering what the cheapest place to go might be without having to go into mexico as I don't have papers to go across the border and back. I don't have insurance, nor could I afford it.... so cash it is. ideas anyone?

If there are any schools nearby with a dental program you might be able to get seen there without much cost. This place might be a good possibility: http://www.atsudental.com/dental_services/

If anyone ever finds themselves in a similar situation in Seattle, the University of Washington has an excellent dentistry program. They take medicaid/medicare, or if you're cash-only their fees are listed on this page for reference: https://dental.washington.edu/patient/fees-and-insurance/

Ask at the Isaiah 58 program in town. Someone of their outreach program should know which dentist in town is more affordable than others. They might also be able to provide some assistance if you can't afford the price.

Thanks, that's a great idea. I'm sure they've dealt with that for sure.
