Endo dontist cannot save tooth. This cost $440. Oral surgeon needs to extract. The infection is still there, draing into my sinus. Of course, this will now need an implant mucho dinero, so it doesn't mess up my tmj. I was hoping for a watch-wait-and-see approach. Jaw-shover dentist arranging this.

Maybe we are lucky there are more options available to us. πππ
Still sucks, but better than full dentures at 18.

That's one way to look at it

(9,053 posts)to include dental and vision into Medicare was rejected for one reason and one reason only - the lobbyist are more important than the people in America.
The people need to stop electing and re-electing our corrupt politicians. Or sitting on their ass and not even voting.

(10,885 posts)I have an implant.
It was okay. Nothing hurt too bad or anything. Expensive is all.
But hey you survived today! Thatβs all it is, sometimes, I think. Survive today. πͺπ€π

(13,042 posts)It was an upper molar with a chunk missing . While I was figuring out the logistics of getting it pulled I got a face infection, cellulitis and was inpatient in the hospital for 2 days on some serious strong IV antibiotics.
Found out about this place called the epic center in my area that helps disabled and homeless people 2 times a year spring and fall . I went there waited in line 4 hours got to see a dentist . Then an appointment was scheduled and got it out. Before that I was looking for someone to pull it out ,No dentist would just pull it they said I needed a maxillary facial surgeon.
So I found out about the free dental care after spending 6 months trying to get a dentist to pull it already.
But when I got it pulled for free a regular dentist pulled it out with no problems.
Made me curious about the facial surgeon were these dentists who refused to pull my tooth just incompetent or were they just blowing me off?
I have two teeth that contact each other left to eat with. When those two go I will need dentures fuck.
When I grew up it was well water and no fluoridation my teeth were always fragile because of this.
Still dream of winning the lottery and getting implants tho.It will fix my crooked jaw too.
Poor people deserve implants too.everyone who needs them deserves them.
But as long as there is capitalism there will be haves and have nots.
The greedy create the needy
