You should be able to find work as a dental assistant and you do not require a license or certification for this in most states.  Certification is OFFERED to allow you to more clinical procedures, but it is not required.  The thing is, you WILL be limited to dental assisting.  You would not become an assistant dentist.  In fact, I have had a foreign dentist as a patient and she decided to become an assistant as a fast track to an income, as her foreign dental degree was worthless in the job market.\n\nIn order to get licensed, you will need to be certified by a USA dental school to take the licensing examination.  NO school will do that without a minimum of two years education in their facility.  When they certify you, their reputation sits with you as you take the board examination.  Funding rests on the number of successful candidates.  They can not afford to just let you try it once under their name and see how it goes.\n\nMany dental schools have 2-to-3 year programs to retrain foreign dentists so that they can be certified to take the licensing board examinations.\n\nOften, if you are experienced, you will be able to work in the dental school as a pre-clinical or clinical instructor, so you can have some help paying your expenses this way.\n\nhttp://www.dental.upenn.edu/academic/PASSprogram/pass-program.html describes one such program.

I think you need to determine your needs and your priorities and then decide where to invest your money.\n\nIf the teeth need to be fixed for medical reasons, it is possible that you can get medicaid.  Some states have pet health care programs funded with medicaid dollars that are available to low income young adults.  You should check and see what you qualify for before proceeding with the dental work.\n\nProbably there are some things that you are currently investing in that are not actually important at this time.  It is amazing how quickly we spend our way through $1000.  A dvd here, a cd there, the cd player, the game system, the games, a few beers on Friday night, etc...  We all do it.  But... if you budget, you CAN save money.  If you are very careful, you can save it quite quickly.\n\nPersonally, I worked for a dentist who worked on indigents.  He would just say, "Don't worry about it.  Pay me when you get some money."  Many of them did.  He was very well respected in the community as an excellent dentist.  If you have a favorite dentist, you could approach him/her about lowering the cost and/or budgeting the payments.\n\nIf this is orthodontic, talk with the dentist.  Many orthodontic clinics have pre-payment plans.  Many accept a percentage up front and offer a payment plan as you go through the treatments.  \n\nGood luck.  Remember...  avoid buying the stuff you DON'T need and put the money away for the things that you DO need.

First have you been to dentist recently? Did they give you a total estimate of the cost of your treatment? Most offices carry financing options for your dental work. An other option you might consider is going to the University School of Dentistry or Community College school of dentistry in your area they usually are on a sliding scale, this means they charge you according to your gross income per year. I work in a dentist office, if you need any advice just ask....hope this helps

Well my dad always said "if you find a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life".  So I asked myself what can I picture myself reasonably doing, that I would enjoy?  At the time I was working for a dentist and loving it - I am now a pre-dental bio-chem major.  My best advice is to get into a field you love.  If you have a job that pays tons of money, but you hate it, you will be miserable.  Better to make less money and be truly happy.

Call your community colleges in your area. Most of them have dental schools and do work for students to learn but are over seen by dentist. It saves alot of money.

I just finished a dental assistant course and hopefully will go back to school in a few years to become a dental hygienist.  I hear the pay is good in certain states.  Also, you have to be sure, wherever you are, that there is a high demand on the career of your choice, unless you're willing to relocate.  I love the dental field and am looking forward to continuing my education.  Good luck.

Unfortunately, grants are not given for dental work and treatments. I suggest you check out dental schools and colleges in your area, as their students are always on the lookout for practice cases - you may be able to get your dental work for free.\n\nThe government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. There are no grants for paying bills, for getting out of debt, for buying a car, or for dental works. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant.\n\nThere is a stringent review process through a committee. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

That's going to be a very hard find.  On the average payment is due at the time of service.  You will have to call around to the dentist in your town to see if they will work with you on a payment plan.

Call and ask the nearest dental office if payments in instalments are accepted, than go and pay by cash, or cheque; if necessary pay the whole amount by a credit card. Also, the dental schools allow their students to practise under supervision and the patients get the low cost treatments. Good luck.

They really don't get that high of pay considering what their overhead and education cost.  The education alone can cost well over 100 grand.  Add this to start-up costs and you have a struggling professional like many of us non-dentists.  For example the sensor for a digital x-ray system alone can cost around fifteen thousand.  This is for the sensor only.  You have the cost of the computer systems, software, people who install it, and the x-ray machine which can cost twenty thousand and more.  I know of several dentists that have been doing dentistry for about five years who are still only breaking even on many months.  The money comes after you have been practicing a long time and are able to pay-off your loans for equipment and building or rental costs.  My instrument set-up to scale and clean people's teeth is about 150 dollars per set.  I use a new sterilized set on each person.  I have about ten instrument set-up's.  You do the math.  These instruments have to be replaced about every six months depending on how heavy the patient load is.  One instrument alone can cost twenty-five dollars.  A box of prophy paste costs about fifty dollars.  The dentist also has to pay his staff, as the dental assistant mentioned.  He has to carry building insurance, malpractice insurance, disability insurance, etc.  He/she has to pay for someone to fix the equipment when it breaks down, minimum a hundred dollars an hour just for showing up.  This does not even include the parts or labor for the equipment.  I could go on and on, but you should get the point.  Dentistry is expensive to the patient, because it is expensive to the dentist.
