Dental Care, No Insurance in San Antonio?

[xsa210tx]

I needed to bring up this old thread because I have a fractured tooth that is now just giving me pain when It wasn't before.

I am registered with the San Antonio Christian Dental Clinic and was seen by Dr. Snyder several weeks ago. They told me I'd eventually need to get the tooth extracted or have a root canal. However, they don't provide emergency services and of course are closed on the weekends. I can wait until Tuesday morning to go in person to try to get an appointment.

But, I was wondering if anyone knew of any low cost dental clinics open on the weekends? I'm also thinking about going to University Hospital if it gets any worse. I don't have a primary doctor so I may have to do that in order to get a prescription for the discomfort. The tooth is just painful when eating (I have to eat very slow on one side of my mouth). Thankfully, there's no abcess or anything that is urgent.

I'm afraid that If I go to University Hospital they will extract the tooth and I don't know If I would want that to happen (would rather save it).

Any ideas anyone....

I still think that firstclassflyer suggestion wasn't bad at all. I know several people with dental work done across the border. Many clinics there, and very modern, clean and the dentists have great skills. They will try to save the tooth first and not focus on the quick $$$
Clinics are open on weekend.
