@Nammu - I can understand not being able to pay for dental procedures. My sisters and I had dental problems as children and my dad was self-employed, we lived paycheck-to-paycheck and money was tight. We lived in a small town, everybody knew every body. The dentist had actually gone to undergraduate school with my father. They had different majors but roomed together in an apartment of 4 guys. My dad had a business fixing up electronics and mechanics, worked on the dentist's car from time to time. The dentist was very understanding and let my mom pay dental bills in installments she could afford. Even as my mom got older and need thing like root canals for herself (she neglected her dental care while my sisters and I grew up), she was able to pay on installment until he recently retired.

Now I ow $400 for this next crown (this is with the dental insurance paying half) and the most they will let me break it up here is 2 payments of $200 and the time services are rendered.
