But your tooth aches, and you don\u2019t have dental insurance. As such, you\u2019re worried you won\u2019t be able to afford both vacation and a trip to your dentist. You don\u2019t want to disappoint friends and family by canceling a trip because of your budget. So you\u2019re thinking you\u2019ll play the martyr until the festivities are over. Maybe you\u2019ll get lucky and the problem will resolve itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Not so fast! You can still afford <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spillmanfamilydental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dental treatment<\/a> even if you don\u2019t have dental insurance! Actually, acting now will save you money in the long run. Keep reading to find out how and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Flexible Financing to Get Help Fast and Pay Slowly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You know how you afford a house by making monthly payments on a mortgage? You can do that with dental treatments too. Programs like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spillmanfamilydental.com\/for-patients.html\">CareCredit<\/a> break down your overall bill into smaller, more manageable chunks. Many plans are available at little-to-no interest for qualifying patients, so your monthly rates and treatment total will stay consistent. All you have to do is work with your dentist to find a payment schedule that works best with your paystubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in a Dental Savings Plan for Immediate and Long-Term Savings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists know that dental insurance isn\u2019t accessible to everyone. That\u2019s why many offer an alternative through dental savings plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each office does it differently, but Spillman Family Dental is proud to partner with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spillmanfamilydental.com\/cigna-plus-savings-plan.html\">Cigna<\/a> to help make your visit more affordable. We feature individual and family plans. Both have low annual fees and allow patients to capitalize on discounted service rates. If you want financial security throughout the year, a Cigna Plus Savings Plan is a great option! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Racking Up a Treatment Bill with Emergency Dentistry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with dental issues is that they can grow into serious complications in a short amount of time if you ignore them. Something as \u201csilly\u201d as a toothache could mean you have gum disease, an infection, or chronic damage \u2013 just to name a few possibilities. Ultimately, leaving dental discomfort untreated will cost you <em>more<\/em> money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earlier stages of gum disease, for example, can be treated with a deep cleaning. However, if it advances to periodontitis, you could very well have to pay for tooth extraction and replacements. This is definitely a situation where a stitch in time could save you nine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t be a very effective martyr if your dental emergency is left to escalate. Instead, seek treatment and talk to your emergency dentist about financial options. They\u2019ll help you save money and might be able to solve your issue just in time for your summer plans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spillmanfamilydental.com\/contact.html\">Spillman Family Dental<\/a> prioritizes patient care!
