Went to the oral surgeon yesterday for a consultation to find that one of my wis/teeth is severely impacted and has developed a cyst. It's small as of now, but we don't know when it started to develop. Here's the catch: after an hour long consultation she tells me that dental insurance won't cover the impacted teeth, medical insurance does. And she doesn't accept mine. I'd need a hospital surgery and it will be very expensive. A couple of things– A) I really like this doctor and would prefer her to do the procedure. I am insanely anxious when it comes to medical ANYTHING. B) With my current insurance, even if I saw another doctor I'd have to pay a $600 deductible+20% of procedure. C) I have the option of changing my insurance in January to one that the current doc accepts, and it would be fully covered. I told the doc about option C and she thinks it would be ok to wait until January. Right now they are not bothering me. How fast do these cysts typically grow? Is this a bad idea?

Screw you! Some of us don't even have medical insurance, or dental insurance and we're middle aged. If you've got a job with medical insurance then you're doing better than most people- just shut up and pay the difference. Some of us just have to make monthly payments to the doctors to keep from dying
