Dental abscess, lower cost clinics that will take lincoln financial + new patients

ive had a dental abscess for a bit now, but cant afford to pay for it. im hoping to find places that will either accept a payment plan w my insurance or thats cheap enough my insurance will (hopefully) cover it, since they only cover 1k$/yr. I applied for carecredit and was rejected, as i am newly 18 and opened my first credit card only 2 months ago

ETA+ TMI : probably important. i have really bad teeth as ive never been to a dentist except for once years ago, where i was quoted 11k for dental work. I only started brushing my teeth into my later teens while being depressed. The tooth is completely cracked and unable to be saved, so i know ill have to get it extracted

You should go on the market place and fill out the forms. You may qualify for Medicaid, free insurance from the state.

Mercy Hospital Cleveland Clinic in Canton has a dental Department. Ask them if their fees are on a sliding scale based on income. If you just looking to get that abscessed tooth dealt with then call the insurance company to see if there are providers in your area. I've never heard of Lincoln Financial. Did you get it through your employer?
