<prompt> Human: What options do i have besides paying in full at a dentist for this?  <response>: Have you looked into Care Credit?7 years ago I was in your exact situation, I needed to have a root canal performed and I did not have medical insurance.Its a line of creditcredit card that can be used to finance out of pocket medical costs, dentists, vets, lasik, urgent care. You apply, put the balance owed on your Care Credit account and pay it back - interest free.Lets say it costs you 1,500 to get your root canal. Call Care Credit and get approved for that amount. Depending on the costprocedure youll have something like 6 or 12 months to pay off the balance.As long as you pay the balance off in full within the allotted time - you wont pay any interest. If you carry a balance of even 1 cent past the due date youll be responsible for paying a ton of interest that would have accrued. I had LASIK done a few years ago and even though I had the money to pay out of pocket I financed as much onto my Care Credit because its interest free.
