tl;dr Girlfriend needs 9 cavities and a lot of dental work, what's the best plan in the US?
I'm from the UK and she's from the US, we're planning to live together in 2 years in the UK but she just went to see the dentist and they've told her that she needs ~$4,000 worth of work on her teeth. She's on Medi-Cal or something as her insurance but they won't cover her for this work.
Are there any other paths we can explore? UK won't cover her work under the NHS and it'll take us a while to get her set up here as a resident or as my spouse and she needs the work done on her teeth urgently.

have dental insurance
that shit costs like $4 a month if you have a decent job

Dental insurance is pretty cheap but has a limit per year. Have her try to get the insurance now, then have her use up the coverage limit before the end of the year. The limit resets in the beginning of the year so she can get work done from now until December. Then have her continue what she needs done in the beginning of January.

Also, since she only has cavities and nothing serious like a root canal or a crown, it won't be as expensive

You're the same fucking guy that was pretending to be a veteran an hour ago 4000 is pretty specific for dental beggars

If you can't get dental insurance because of potential assessments, try going to some Eastern European country.

I have acquaintances who've had dental work in Serbia and other acquaintances who've had plastic surgery in Turkey, and both say they're more than satisfied.
Just look up prices of private clinics around Europe, and some will surely be cheap enough even with the airplane tickets.

She's got a root canal as well, for her front teeth

She doesn't have a job and her mother's insurance won't cover it sadly

Don't know much about the american system, but surely they wouldn't allow someone to get cheaper insurance with an existing condition?

You do understand that thousands of people use the internet right? This board isn't just one person.

tell her to go to a peridontist, which is a dental specialist they can give you payment plans and can get insurance to cover big shit bc thats what they do but a normal dentist will treat it like major work and have different shit to bill

Existing condition doesn't apply for dental insurance.
Most policies cover $1500 a year.
You're full of shit for nine cavities and a root canal for $4000.

That's the number the dentist office quoted her, they gave her a discount or something I think

Tell her to go to a different dentist, they might be ripping her off
