I choose life, do you?

Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a ******* big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of f**king fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing ******* junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, ******-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. I choose life Do you?
--------------------
Why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Severe pain.....help (tooth infection)?

I was experiencing some major tooth pain so I went to the doctors (because I don't have dental insurance right now). She gave me some amoxicillin/antibiotics and naproxen but right now it feels worse then it did three days ago. I thought by now the amoxicillin would have kicked in.........at least enough to ease the pain! And besides that, the naproxen just barely (and I do mean JUST barely) makes it bearable. Right now I'm sick to my stomach and quivering (crying too)....... help!!! Please.
--------------------
If the infection is too bad and has spread no amount of antibiotic will stop your pain. Also, naproxen has nasty stomach side effects. Try 800 mg of ibuprofen (do not bother with more it won't help you) with an Excedrin headache pill. The caffeine in that pill seems to be effective for tooth pain. You need dental care just as soon as you can get it. I'm very sorry about your pain. I've been there my friend. Do you have a homeless shelter near by? I know that sounds awful but I've actually had to take dental care from there in my past.

wisdom tooth problem!?

AHHH! So without getting into too much detail, basically I'm wondering If anyone knows why I can't get a dentist to pull it out!! I've been in pain the last six months, and have NO dental insurance and keep getting blown off by clinics and dentist's i've called. They aren't taking new customers blah blah. i can make payments, but am on a low budget. Anyone have any phone numbers OR something!?!
--------------------
God, where do you live? I'm a Dental Nurse and if someone walked in off the street in pain we will find a time to atleast see what their problem is. Thats what dentists are for. Unfortunately with anything these days its all just for money. I work in Sydney, Australia so I don't know if thats any good for you. You shouldn't have to put up with pain for six months. Maybe you should have been saving some money in that time so you could pay for it in cash. Our Public hospitals usually have trainee dental practices also. Look into that. Good luck!

wisdom tooth?

I broke my wisdom tooth in half and i have been afraid to go get it pulled b/c of the pain but lately its been very painful and my gum is swelling and my tooth is going into my gum i really think my tooth is infected I have no dental insurance so what to do???
--------------------
I feel your pain I have the same problem and you really need to get that checked out. Some quick fixes are clove oil which you can buy in any grocery store, nutmeg or crushed cloves which you can chew spit the cloves out but nutmeg is a natural narcotic and should stop the pain for a short while. You can also try to gargle with peroxided. Please don't dig around in it if it has an abscess and you burst it sallow it then the pus which is infection will make you very ill. Remember people have died for toothaches there are many organizations that will help you have you tried Medicade/Medicare or call a dentist one that takes payments and talk to them some doctors do still care.

Is Invisalign...?

Is Invisalign ever (at least partially) covered by dental insurance?
--------------------
it all depends on your dental coverage. If you have ortho coverage then it should cover at least a little of it. Most dental insurance usually cover 50% up to a certin dollar amount and certin age. Insurance can also downgrade invisalign. Best way to go about it contact a dentist and go in for a consult they are usually free of charge to see what they will charge you.

Help???????me!!!!!!!!!!!?

I need braces.(embarassed to show picture) we have dental insurance but it doesnt cover any type of orthodontics because that is considered cosmetic. due to the economy my dad who makes 15k a year selling cars cant afford braces. we are a family of six. what can i do cause some people at school are teasing me.
--------------------
You might be able to look into a discount dental plan for an individual or even for your whole family (or your parents could). I have located a website that you can compare discount dental plans, as I only have personal experience with Ameriplan. I will list both sites below so that you and your parents can look at the plans and compare them. I would compare their monthly premiums, number of local providers, and savings on your orthodontics. Good luck.
