$16,000 in dental care, what should I do? Stay in U.S. and pay it, or get treatment in a different country?

Hey folks. I just signed some paperwork a few weeks ago to get pretty much my whole mouth taken care of. I have some pretty messed up teeth, and the total will be about $16,000 (at $400 a month).





Now, I'm only 24 years old, and I don't need this kind of debt. I was planning on possibly moving to London for several other reasons sometime next year.





So is it a rational idea to think that I should tell these guys to stop the treatment where they're at right now, and I'll just pay for what they've done, and then just have the remainder of the work done in London, where it would be FREE?





Also, would there be any legal problems involved with any of this?

Chances are, if you signed the paperwork, you'll still have to pay for it. Try to get out of it, but if they still insist, it's better to get a dental plan through a site like http://dentalplansaver.com and pay 80$ a year...it should save a lot of that money. Good Luck!
Reply:Hi There





I am glad that I came to know about your problem. I would suggest you come to India for a short visit, it will cost you around $1200 for round trip airfare and rest you could stay at an economical hotel in delhi for around $40 per night. And the cost of surgery should not be more than $600 to $700. Most of people from US and other foreign countries do it as the cost of surgery would be very less in India. I would suggest you to browse thru some good hospital websites and get in touch with them thru email and then decide accordingly.





Just make use of internet to search for everything...


Need any help them do get in touch with me thru email at my same yahoo.com id





Have a goodluck...
Reply:That's a lot of money to pay.





There are different options. But you need to talk to the dentist first. Tell him/her that you are unable to pay. So you would like to stop the procedure and pay for the treatment already rendered.





Then decide if you want to get the treatment done elsewhere and save money.





You have different options available to you, if you want them.





You may contact me if you need help.
Reply:If you feel so strongly about going abroad...have you thought about another opinion? Also, make the dentist aware of the money issues, maybe there is an alternative treatment plan. You can also check into financing through Dental Fee Plan, but then you have interest on that. Also, would you qualify for the "free care" in London? That you might want to check into if there are any stipulations.
