Affordable Dental Procedures?

I recenctly went to the dentist due to a couple of infected teeth. After a thourough look into my mouth he said that I needed a few procedures done to "save my mouth", including a couple of root canals and other extensive work.


Once he left the room, his assistant stated that between her and I their is a dental school in the area that does procedures at sometimes more than half the cost of at least the dentist that I went to. She said the name, but I don't remember, and I don't want to call the office and ask her and possibly get her into any trouble.





I unfortunately don't have insurance, and am awaiting the next sign up date through my work, I am also looking and considering other insurance.





Does anyone know of a school in the Chicagoland / NW Indiana area where I could look into getting the work done?





Thank you

Call the Dental office and tell them you had a question about root canals and would like to talk to the Asst who helped with your exam. Best wishes.
Reply:Try the local phone book or use an Internet directory. You should be able to locate a the nearest dental school rather quickly as well as phone numbers. And the assistant was correct in telling you that the cost would be significantly lower.

I was going to add Northwestern--and to show you how out of touch I am--I didn't know it had closed several years back.


Hope this helps.
