One of my wisdom teeth is bad and it gets really painful sometimes. My dentist doesn’t do extractions and my next appointment isn’t until January anyway. I probably should just find a dentist that does extractions and pay in cash but it’s a pain.
Anyone else suffering from tooth pain or has in the past? One of the most unendurable sensations you can have.
When I tried using the bleaching trays from my dentist, it was so painful I couldn’t stand it. I’m never bleaching again
We have a county dental clinic that does a sliding pay scale depending on income.
I got a filling and 2 office viisits for like $90.
Might be something to check into
Thats really cheap. I don’t know if we have anything like that around here. I’m definitely going to have to look around though…thx for the reply.
Is there a dental college near you? You might want to look into that. There are some pluses and some minuses to dental colleges but I had four wisdom teeth pulled out for next to nothing. It took a long time and hurt but having teeth pulled always hurts.
My main problem is getting mouth sores. Last winter I was diagnosed with Thrush. Right now I don’t have any sores, but I did a month ago.
I’m going to see my dentist tomorrow. He’s affordable. It’s $124.00 for a cleaning, checkup, and x-rays.
Thx for the suggestion Nick…I checked google and it looks like the closest colleges are several hours away…so dunno.
That must be hard, I dont want to get tooth pain when I get older 
Maybe give a couple a call for info. Several hours is a long drive and a lot of money for gas but if a regular dentist is going to charge $300 or $400 for pulling a wisdom tooth, and the dental college will do it for a $100 or a $150, it might be worth it to spend $50 for a tank of gas and go to the dental college.
You’ve never had tooth pain? You must take really good care of your teeth. See that’s a positive in your life.
I think he’s only like 30 too…his time is coming.
Not since I was <20 y.o. I clean my teeth at the dentist once a year, sometimes twice.
I’ve had plenty of tooth pain. I’m 30.
I dont drink sodas. If I have to drink its diet pepsi, diet coke or diet 7up.
Now that I think about it…I probably had a couple bad ones before 30 also…Dunno, never wrote them down on the calender or anything.lol. was in too much pain
Yeah, I use to drink alot of soda when I was younger…I don’t much now since I’m recently diabetic.
I had two teeth abscess in the same week before Xmas of 2019. Then I couldn’t find a dentist in my new town who would work on them because of my heart condition and the fact I’m on a LOT of blood thinners. Finally found a specialist dentist who would, but at the same time we locked down in March and they took dentists offline. By then I had a third toothache and a fourth tooth had fallen apart (bad root canal). At least the last one didn’t hurt apart from the wreckage slicing up my tongue.
That was when I made the decision to get all of my teeth pulled this summer. Have falsies now and loving it.
I want to have all my teeth pulled and get falsies. I’m missing two already. It’d probably be too expensive and dr would never go for it.
I have several teeth that have been pulled over the years. I can’t chew on the left side of my mouth due to missing teeth.
I’ve only had rear teeth pulled so far. My front teeth are relatively intact so I’d like to keep them as long as i can.
