Ok so I needed a root canal on this tooth 2 years ago, but thanks to no health/dental insurance, and not having the extra $$, (and my fear of dentists!), I have put it off. I had some temporary filling stuff in it, and for a few months it really helped, hardly any pain at all.. but I was chewing some gum tonight, and it hit the nerve. I have been in excruciating pain for hours now! I live in a stupid town where they only cater to rich people, and although I have searched online and in the phone book I can't find anyone who will work with me on payments and I'm only 22, I don't have a bunch of cash just lying around! What can I do?? Im in so much pain it is driving me crazy! I had cover my mouth in oragel, take 3 Naproxen tablets and drink some wine just to function. I can't keep doing this. Any suggestion would be great, I mean I can't be the only one in this situation right????

I definitely know the pain of a tooth that needs a root canal, so bad it keeps you awake at night, hurts non stop. feels like needles in your gums it's terrible. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to take the pain away, you could get it extracted, its cheaper than a root canal but you'll be out a tooth. Orajel is a temporary fix. You may not have the money, but it'll continue to get worse and worse if you don't see a dentist.

i have a ? on how to replace my teeth that are missing. my front teeth are in great shape its my molars.?
i am 32 and when i had my 4th kid which was 6 years ago. a little over a year my teeth started to break or crack on the top. i did take my vitamins and i breast fed for 6 months. well i want to fix the empty gaps in my mouth. should i get upper dentures partial, implant, bridge, or whatever options do i have. on 2 of my molars there is a small piece of tooth left on the other 2 i think the gum is closing and there is no feeling with the 2 that have the gum closed up. i am going to a appt for an exam and see what needs to be done. i amjust trying to figure how to fix the problem that i cna see and help me eat my food. and i dont think my dental insurance is the best. please give me some suggesttions i know i have to get some advice from a dentist but witht he missing teeth what should i do and what are my options that could be available or what is not a good idea, but my molar are the problem my wisdomteeth are fine.
--------------------
Im having 7 teeth extratced in 2 DAYS, Im so nervous, but anyways, I will be getting a partial to put in place of 6 of those as they are onthe top, 3 will be molars they are removing. You canget partials for just those areas. I have heard that bridges hurt like h@ll afterwards because they hve to crown the other teeth that will be holding the bridge in place, but I dont know, I have never had one. If you have an "Affordable Dentures" near you, they are pretty reasonably priced. You can look at their website and find the closest location is to you. Im having 7 teeth done, Aveoloplasty done, and a partial put in place of the missing teeth all in the same day for about 1200.00. My dentist wanted over 3,000 dollars to do this procedure. Hope this helps.

If I take my ex to court, will they change our child support?
Our child support was ordered a couple years ago, and now my ex changed jobs and says he makes less money. He also has a band and makes money off the books (he's also always going to concerts, buying new games, and new electronics). I have since lost my job, and now receive unemployment, medicaid, and food stamps for my daughter and myself. I've asked him to help buy my daughter's school clothes and supplies, but he refuses (even though I can't afford them). He says that the only thing he will do is give the exact amount the state said he was responsible for and not a dime more. My daughter is turning 5 in two weeks and he won't help with a birthday party (my parents are helping). He won't even make the 15 minute drive to our house to visit her, instead, I drive her to his grandmother's (half an hour away) twice a month, for the weekend, and he'll visit her for a couple hours once a month. So basically, I'm wondering even if they end up reducing the weekly amount I get, would they still make him help me buy her school clothes & supplies? And can they make him get dental insurance since she has none? And what about after-school activities?
--------------------
Child support is supposed to cover the needs of the child. Child support guidelines provide enough money for the child to maintain the same standard of living as an intact family. So, it is figured to cover school clothes, activities, supplies and birthday parties. Sounds like you want him to pay for the school supplies a second time around since it is already in the child support guidelines. You should get a two jobs so you can provide your share of money for your daughter instead of relying on welfare. It is a possibility that your always asking for money has made him bitter and now you will have a daughter without a father. Don't look up the statistics on that. It will scare you. I would recommend having the grandmother give him a little money to take the daughter places and spend more time with her. It would be better for her in the long run.

Opinions on CareCredit?
I have no dental insurance and desperately need to see a dentist. Like.. as soon as humanly possible. So after a lot of researching, I come across CareCredit. Being prudent, I search for this on ripoffreport.com. 42 hits! People complaining about the scams etc. I'm having a hard time deciding if this company is really a rip off or if the customers were just stupid and disregarded the terms of the agreement. If it is simply you MUST pay your balance off in X months to avoid Y interest charges, that is fine. Do they really TRY to screw you over though? I'm afraid to get into this because it will put me in a hole bigger than I could dig myself out of any time soon. I'd rather wait and just pay the entire expenses up front, but I simply cannot wait any longer. I could pay off an entire bill in the alotted time.. I'm just concerned about getting scammed. Any advice or opinions here? Thanks.
--------------------
we offer carecredit at my dental office. i don't really work in the front office, but i asked about it for myself last week. the girls were telling me if i'm going to pay within the 12 months, then i could pay it off without interest... but you have to make sure you're responsible and pay every payment on time. if the front office girls didn't think it was okay, they wouldn't tell me to go ahead if i wanted to.

Anybody know if the horror stories about Cosmetic Dentistry are true? And how much does it cost?
My two front teeth are both crowned and they were done horribly wrong, way too big and unnatural looking. I need to know if I go and get veneers, 1. Are the crowned teeth going to work with veneers? 2. If not, how natural would new crowns look with veneers on the 2 or 4 teeth surrounding them? 3. Will my dental insurance cover any of this(I'm hoping at least fixing the 2 crowns, since one had to have a root canal because of how poorly they were placed) 4. How much will this cost? I live in New York City. I could find 10 dentist tomorrow who would charge me 20 grand I'm sure, but I'm looking for an average. Please Help!

How long ago did you get the crowns? I would never live with bad crowns, and I would go back to the dentist and have them do them over for FREE. After all they are your front teeth and everybody can see them. A proper crown wont show and should look normal. Why pay for veneers when your real teeth can be fixed? If the crowns are more than 5 years old your insurance will cover an amount, how much depends on your insurance plan.

rotten tooth to the gum line?
I have a tooth in the back that for some reason didnt get enough attention with my tooth brush compared to the other teeth that has rotted to the gum line. it doesnt really hurt but it has become extremly sensitve to cold stuff to the point I cant stand it. I have a dentist appointment later on today and am wondering if shes going to have a hard time getting a tooth out like that were she has nothing to really pull on?? will she just send me to a oral surgen?? I cant afford that im already paying out of pocket without dental insurance. any pointers or experiences are helpful

skifaeri is just mean. I'm sorry, but that is no way to talk to a person who is suffering and worried. It is a known fact that back teeth are harder to reach and for some people, they are impossible. Also, if you have your wisdom teeth, or if this is one, they are especially difficult to keep clean. Yes, your general dentist should be able to remove that tooth without having to refer you to an oral surgeon. It will be more difficult on you, as there will be more "digging" and possibly some drilling, but general dentists do this type of thing all the time. Good Luck with your treatment today. And be sure to follow all of the post surgical recommendations given to you by the dentist or the staff.
