I have to schedule myself a dentist appointment and I have needed to for a WHILE but I can’t get myself to do it… it doesn’t help that I don’t have insurance and my only income is basically an allowance from my boyfriend

Hi friend! I don’t know how close you live to one, but I would advise you to explore FQHCs. They are federally funded based on the fact that they are not legally allowed to deny people based on insurance or ability to pay. I’ve had great experience with mine. I felt more comfortable with a provider who had been licensed for many years. If there is expensive, work to be done, sometimes they will also suggest finding a dental school so it can reduce costs.

I live in a small super secluded town so the only dentist here is actually a FQHC. I’m still just over anxious about everything
