How does someone who just lost their job but needs $7,000 in dental work (a bunch of root canals - I'm serious) get help? I feel terribly for them - they are in such pain. What happens to poor people when they need a dentist?

If they are local, send them to On Demand Dentist in Clairemont. 619-342-3577. It won't be free, but I found them to be very reasonably priced. Super nice and the office is very clean and high-tech. Plus, you can get after-hours appointments, which is how I found them (on Yelp) after my daughter broke a tooth on a Saturday night. All fixed with a porcelain replacement, looks like new, within an hour for $323, including anesthesia and x-rays. I am sure our regular dentist -- who once charged us $600 for 2 fillings, WITH insurance -- would have charged more.
