You have a couple of options on how to get to see a dentist without burning a big hole in your wallet. The first 3 tips are for you who need a dentist badly. Like an emergency solution so to speak. The last tip is a low cost alternative to dental insurance which is very popular.

1. First is to see if you can find any college that has training for their dental students. New York City Technical College has these types of services where they allow their students to "train" on individuals. Teeth cleaning, fluoride treatment, and x-rays are included. They charge $10 for each treatment which is very cheap. All treatments are supervised by licensed dental hygienists.

4. The last tip is about getting a discount dental insurance plan. It's a form of a low cost dental insurance where you pay a very low yearly fee and then get access to discounts. You pay at a discounted price when you need to see the dentist. The discounts range from 10 to 60% which allows you to save more money than buying a regular dental insurance.
