I need a new dentist (and to figure out how to be an adult

Hi all. I am trying to establish care with a new dentist that accepts student Aetna. Idk why but it is very frustrating having to call all these different practices and they either don’t know if they accepts student Aetna or they tell me to call my insurance and my insurance tells me to call providers.

I can’t keep putting off this visit, it’s been years (I know this is bad).
