Ok so I just finished University so I'm no longer covered under my dad's plan. Last week I started having problems with one of my wisdom teeth and no it's pretty sore and I think I should get it looked at. My problem is with no insurance I'll be paying through the nose and I literally don't have the money to pay a dental bill. Anyone know what I should do?

You can always go to the UofT Dental school, they let the students practice on patients (under supervision of course) and have lower rates than going to a practicing Dentist.

1. register in f/t school at a cheap college/univ
2. go to dentist and claim health benefits
3. collect benefits
4. drop out of f/t school
i never tried this, lemme know how it goes.

I'm sure you can still purchase insurance from school, after you graduate up to 6 months. You should go in and have a chat with them. Good luck!

I've heard about the U of T thing before. I think I may look into that.
It's not sore at all today but I really shouldn't leave it. Maybe I'll pull a Tom Hanks and knock it out with a skate and a rock :D
