About 2 months ago now I popped a filling, the tooth now hurts occasionally. I don't have dental insurance though.
How much is a new filling?
Are there any dental assistant plans or anything?

As for assistance, I've heard some states (I can't recall which) do have assistance programs similar to if not included in Medicaid. Also, some dentists will have a way for you to set up a payment plan for the more expensive procedures. This is also something you can ask about when you call.
Filling involves some minor drilling and cleaning to prep the surface, and then filling. It's relatively quick.
The cost will go up or down depending on the place you go to and where you live. What you should do is call dentists. You should've called a dentist when it happened and ask for rates.
Most will do minor work like this without insurance and can even quote you over the phone. Call around.
