Low-cost dental clinics are not a solution, because I have too-many assets, i.e., savings.  The requirements for acceptance in those is such that mostly only foreigners with no jobs or homeless people qualify.  Not sure I would want to go to one of those clinics, anyway.  A big part of the problem in my case is that I made the mistake of going to Comfort Dental in the hopes of saving money.  It ruined many of my teeth.  (And yes, there was a lawsuit, though the amount recovered just paid to correct the work temporarily.)
