You do not need to have dental insurance in order to go to the dentist. In some cases if you are new patient the dental office may provide a free exam and bite wing x-rays. However, having dental insurance does is help make your dental care cost more affordable. Dental cost can get quite expensive as you need larger dental care services.

I would like to know if someone can see a dentist for dental services if they do not have any current dental insurance or dental discount plan?  I have a friend that does not have either and is low income.

He has an infection or abscess tooth and he is in a great deal of pain.  Is there and ER for dental services?   At least in the ER you still get treated whether or not you have insurance and then you worry about the bill after the fact.  But it seems with dental you are out of luck.  What can my friend do at this point.
