Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 The tip from Charlotte about the dental collegue is true. My daughter works for Ohio State University & they have a separate program that sees patients that get worked by dentist residents that work under the supervision of the dentist. The fees are about 40,30 % below the cost of the regular dental deptm. It just takes about 3 weeks longer to get schedule, they also offer low mo. paymts. Hope they'll have one there.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 my tooth just started aching like crazy on Sunday after cracking about 3 years ago. I called the local dental school and since it's summer time, they are not taking any new patients - bummer. Just thought I'd let you know that summer is a bad time to have a tooth ache! **************Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 You are so right about summer being a bad time to have a tooth problem. I went yesterday and the tooth broke off in the crown. They said I have to have a root canal, post, build up and a new crown. The estimate is $1640. Yeah.... That's what I said. Then... they say that they don't offer any type of financing. Since it's on a front tooth then I definately have to get it fixed. It can't wait. They can't get me in this week so...I guess I have to stay in and not see people until I can get it fixed. Now... I have to come up with the money by the time the appt rolls around to get it fixed. CRAZINESS!!!! I can feel the stress on my body.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Dear Angelia , I'm sorry that you're having problems too. I didn't go to work all week - hurting so badly. I was sure it was infected. I called a bunch of dentists and none would see me cuz I couldn't pay all at one time and I wouldn't qualify for any kind of financing with my credit as bad as it is. Well, we went to the dentist that took out Al's tooth back the beginning of the year and were going to pretend we could pay until it was time to check out. Well, it only cost $200 to pull so we had that and we didn't have to even lie, but it did put us back a bit. They did that yesterday, and today it hurts like H......! Well, the jaw and gums hurt, I don't actually have the tooth in my mouth anymore. So that's 2 teeth on the right side gone since I've had stills. How attractive. Wish I could afford a bridge. Maybe I'll lose some weight only chewing on one side! But I asked for the tooth, it looked fine to me - hard to believe it hurt so bad. I had sold my wisdom teeth on ebay years ago (I know, I'll sell anything practically), maybe I'll try to sell this one too!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hey Carole and Angelia..and anyone with teeth problems.. Sorry to hear about your pain and loss of teeth... I am wondering, if you don't have dental insurance, could the tooth removal maybe be considered under your regular medical insurance somehow? I mean, it is due to Stills so maybe they would consider that? I don't know... I have been using a tooth paste called Sensodyne Pronamel..It is ''supposed'' to harden the enamel of your teeth..and protect against acid wear (cokes, juices.etc...) Â I also use a straw for EVERYTHING I drink..yep, even coffee..I will try anything so as not to have to go to the dentist!!
