Can I call 9-1-1 because of extreme dental pain?
It's 3:54 AM here, and not only can I simply not sleep but my mouth is in extreme pain because of this molar tooth. I tried Ibuprofen, and the pain doesn't go away for very long. I even bought some Jack Daniels whiskey and gargled that - STILL doesn't work. I'm in extreme pain, am a college student living alone, I don't have dental insurance, and I simply *for once* just want to be able to go to sleep. Can I call an ambulance for this?
--------------------
no need. very very expensive for an ambulance to come by the house to pick you up and take you to the hospital, when you could drive yourself over. forget the jack gargle. at home, try brushing the tooth as best as you can, swish warm salt water around the tooth, maybe even brush with some salt. warm compress on the cheek closest to the tooth. ibuprofen OTC will usually do the trick till the next morning. if nothing works at home, you could try the pharmacy and grab some for tooth ache medicine OTC. medicines with eugenol oils work the best. it should soothe the tooth down alot till the next day when you can see someone. remember the medicine is place directly on the tooth and can be tender. there are some other stuff too you can use like orajel which have had some good results. the above suggestions are the more cheapers routes. if you're up for it and feel you need to do something tonight, you can go to the closest ER. if MDs there determine it's some dental infection, then they give you some antibiotic and a Rx pain killer and tell you to visit a dentist tomorrow. but know that you'll be popping the pain kiillers for a couple days before the antibiotics work the infection to a point of relief. even after, the salt rinse, the eugenol med, the trip to the ER, you'll see have to see a dentist at some point. insurance or no insurance. if it's tooth related pain, you're looking at a either a root canal or an extraction. i'd encourage you to go to the dentist, either tomorrow or in the near future. if you don't see someone... you probably will experience this again. good luck and take care. oh.. if funds are tight, try a local dental school and visit their walk in emergency clinic. many times it's much much cheaper than private practice and def cheaper than the ER.

I'm in need of desperate and affordable dental care in Austin. help?
I have a filling that is stuck in between two of my upper molars. Ouch! Somehow the filling detached itself from one of my bottom fillings and when I was munching on chips I managed to chew it up into my molars. Now it's stuck and I can't get it out! I've used a toothpick already..... Another thing is I don't have dental insurance. Aargh! I need something I can afford....

If your dental problems are really interesting, you might be able to get some first-year dental student in San Antonio to try his or her hand at fixing them. See: http://dental.uthscsa.edu/patientcare/de…

Does the new health insurance company cover my examinations?
I've already used up the twice-per-year examinations (insurance covers) according to my dental health plan. I'm wondering if I change my health insurance company now, will the new company cover the examinations? Or they will see that I've already got it done, and won't cover it?

If they do, they usually have limits on services. I would encourage you to visit this site: www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up online over 5 years ago now for all my dental needs and they have saved me thousands of $$$. From cleanings, crowns, xrays, exams, root canals...etc. They even had my very affordable plan active in 2 hours and was able to use it the same day. Good Luck.

My dentist started to perform dental work on me covered by the Insurance on 08/06. I was laid off in 11/06.?
Is the Insurance company obligated to pay the dentist for work contracted in August/06, or could they now refuse to pay.

Speak to your insurance company, the chances are that because the course of treatment was started before you were made redundant then it should continue to conclusion.
