I'm 19 years old, no dental insurance and bad cavity no clue what to do.? |
Hi, I just turned 19 four months ago and have never had a job, but plan on getting one this summer to help pay for college books etc. That being said, I have two cavities on the upper part on each side of my jaw. One of them hurts alot when I try to go to sleep at night. Now I can only eat on one side of my mouth, but I don't want the cavity that doesn't hurt to get worse. I haven't been to the dentist in about 10 years and don't have dental insurance any more. Since I don't have a job I don't think I could get insurance. Even if I just got a job, i'd propably have to wait for insurance. I would like to get my tooth fixed as soon as possible so it doesn't get worse. I still live with my father and rarely ask him for any money because i'm 19 and would feel embarrased too, but am willing to ask for some money for my teeth. I would like to save as much money as possible to get the one painful tooth fixed, and pay my father back as soon as i get a job. Should I get a dental plan? What are my other options to save on money when going to the dentest. Also I would like to know some good tooth pain medicine to help me sleep at at night, and does Dent's toothache gum (that old time red gum you fill a cavity with) work? Thank you for taking time to read this. I know it's a lot, but is greatly appreciated. I really don't know what to do. Oh you poor sweet thing! I certainly pitty you. I'm 30 and I had a cavity last winter that hurt worse than giving birth. no kidding. First, lets address the pain. Use anbesol or orajel liquid toothache relief. It's in the dental care aisle. I went through 3 bottles of this once. The pain was horrible. I shudder thinking about it. Get a whole bunch of Q-tips for application ease. Then take 2 Aleve before you go to bed. This should be considered a temporary fix. Second, call your local department of jobs and family services or the United Way. They may have a "211" program set up in your area. (211 is the number to dial when in a social crisis). They (the United Way) will be able to link you up with local clinics or dentist who provide services to people without access to insurance at a discounted rate. Some offer 50% discounts. Third, Daddy love you hun. I'm sure he's had a toothache in his day. If he's anything like me, he never wants to see his child suffer the pain of a toothache. Tell him what's going on. I'm sure he'll help. I hope you feel better. Good luck! Borrow the money for your teeth. It's worth it. If you can't get the money from him, go to a dentist and work out a payment plan. Most dentists will work with you. Another option is to go to a dental school. The students work on you so it's at a reduced price, but they are supervised by the teachers who are certified dentists. Good luck to you! I'm sorry. I don't know what to say about getting it fixed. Orajel (baby or adult strength) works real good. Try going to a local university that has a dental school. Sometimes they offer services to the public for very low rates (student dentists supervised by faculty) I sympathize - I've got dental problems too and I can't afford it either. P.S. - Some local anaesthetic like oraljel can help in the short term but its not a feasible long-term solution (ie - if not treated it will likely get worse) Try to find a Dental School. Many times they will work for free or reduced fees. Students do the work under the immediate supervision of a teaching Dentist. go to free clinic please hurry you don't want an absences First, get some Listerine, that was the ONLY thing that saved me for a month when my tooth broke in half! Use it like 3 times a day. Second, if you need a root canal and crown your looking at A LOT of money, you might want to have it pulled and have the one that isn't hurting fixed. You might want to call around to some dentists and tell your situation and see if any of them would be willing to look at your teeth and give you an estimate of what your looking at cost wise. Then ask your Dad for some financial help, don't let it get to the point of wanting to die because it hurts SOOOOOOO bad, it's not fun! |
