Dear Liza a hole...

[FanGirl]

Well, as some of you may not know, I never had a cavity growing up. I have never had a root canal or any kind of dental work except for cleanings. I always used Crest and had good genes. Plus I went to the dentist twice a year until I turned 19 which was my last dental appointment. I didn't have dental insurance until 2003 so I didn't go despite the knowledge I most assuredly have a few cavities now.

Well, after putting it off for a long as possible, I chipped a back molar last Thursday and the soonest I could get in was this morning. By chipped, what I should say is let a cavity get so back that part of the wall of my tooth just broke off.

Okay this is where you let the kids read to scare them into going to the dentist yearly at least. This is all true.

Let us begin with the emergency root canal that is scheduled for Wednesday and then after that the decision will be made if I'm going to get partial dentures or an implant tooth. Either of those options running $3,000-5,000 (yes, American and yes, with my insurance). Dentures at 29 years old.

But wait there is more. A whole lot more and some of it happening very,very soon. I'll just give you the breakdown with the amounts coming out of MY pocket. As it was given to me in order of necessity and not including the stuff mentioned above:

Phase 1: Removing all 4 impacted wisdom teeth - $1670.00 - Needs to be ASAP. Did I mention impacted?

Phase 2 and 3: Cleanings with antibotics because my gums are infected - $800. Infected from the impacted wisdom teeth.

Phase 4: 3 Preventive fillings/sealants on the left side - FREE. Woo hoo.

Phase 5: 7 Preventative fillings/sealants and a cap on the right side - $485

Phase 6: A mouth guard. Apparently I grind (and this was prior to seeing the bill) $495.00

Total: $3,450

Now this again doesn't inlcude the emergency root canal nor the replacement tooth or the fact that another tooth is headed in the same direction. So basically, we're looking at if all goes well the price of a car to fix my mouth. I'm going to get a second opinion, but I saw the x-rays and not much is going to change.

I'm more than a little freaked out by all of this because not only am out all of this money, but new work policy is you can't use less than a day for sick time so this will all be unpaid hours off or made up later.

Gotherella has offered a bake sale to raise the money. While I love the irony of that, I am looking into getting a dental loan to cover this. I have a few options and assuming my credit is good enough things should be alright. If not I will be making my famous red, white and blue cookies for $500 per cookie.

This is too much dental work for never having played a single game of ice hockey dammit.

[By-tor]

Good Gawd, woman. I've had some craptacular dental problems in the past. But you got the real meal deal. I know it's not funny, just coincidence, but I just went to my quarterly teeth-cleaning today. I know, coincidences today are beginning to freak me out. Anyway, I don't miss a cleaning since spending about 3K on my teeth in the last 5 years. Preventative maintenance is the ticket. Good luck, Fanny.

[actualsize]

Man, I'm gonna go brush the shit out of my teeth right fuckin' now!

Holy expensive dental work batman!!!

Why is the left side free but the right side costs $485?

I'm a grinder too - surely you can buy a do-it-yourself mouthguard from the chemist that would do the job and for about $475 cheaper.

[ScottTipton]

Big time sympathies. I've gone through similar dental hell, so I know the feeling. Make sure you go ahead with the mouth guard -- I just did that, and it makes a major difference. I no longer wake up to the clenched-jaw toothache every morning.

But on a much cheerier note: is that a Bobs lyric quoted in your subject line? Very impressed.

Ah, that's better! That sucks about the dental work Fanny, we pretty much get free dental care over here, but for some reson I've still avoided going for the last 2 years. You convinced me to make an appointment, STAT ("What does that mean?!" "I don't know!"). Hope it all works out for ya, and if I win the mid-week lottery, the bill's on me.:)

[JK]

Are they going to remove all 4 wisdom teeth at once? The Navy did mine- four horizontally impacted wisdom teeth drilled out from the sides... all at the same time. Four and half hours in the chair under the influence of some craptacular novacaine... Not fucking fun. If the US Military wants a way around the restrictions on the aggressive interrogation of terrorists, they should just provide free dental care the way they provided it to me...

I felt your pain, Fanny...

[Zens7s]

I have one cavity from where my back braces band went around. However, I can somewhat understand the pain of having people anywhere near my nerve endings. About 5 years ago I was mugged and they attempted to steal my car also. When they hit me my front tooth snapped all the way up at the top.

I learned quickly that the emergency room will do NOTHING with your teeth. They basically leave you with an exposed nerve for hours and wait to see if your dentist will get up in the middle of the night and come in to help.

I can rightly say that it is the most excrutiating pain I have ever felt, through the pain killers they will give you at the hospital. It makes me shiver even thinking about it. On a good note, a little cosmetic dentistry and no one even knows that one of my front teeth is fake.

I am so sorry you are going through this FanGirl. That sucks! Apparently people from West Texas have notoriously bad teeth (something to do with the water). I have heard some really bad dental bills lately and am scared to death.

[Aaron]

They basically leave you with an exposed nerve for hours
...*shudder*

[PftLBritt]

FG, my dearest sympathies.. No one should have to go through that kind of torture. Try to find out how much it would cost to have them all yanked out and get dentures. Sure, the whole idea of having fake teeth before you're 50 sucks or you might forget them on your way to work because you left them in a glass on your nightstand or you could get them knocked out during your broom hockey games. On second thought, go ahead and get the work done.

[Dave]

Gaaaah! That's awful. I'm so sorry, but at least you have given me the impitus to call the dentist and set up my overdue appointment. Again, Gaah!!!

Now let's try hard not to scare the shit out of Fanny, who just learned she had to have all this work, but has never had so much as a cavity up until now.

I was deeply affected by Marathon Man (Is it safe) and therefore stopped going to the dentist after I moved away from home and my mom wasn't there to make sure I did it. Besides, I'd never had a single cavity right? Years went by. A piece (a vertical slice) chipped off of one of my lower incisors, and I still DIDN'T GO IN. I was paralyzed by the fear of what he was going to tell me, and how much it would hurt. More years went by. Finally, at something like 18 years since my last dental visit (or cleaning) I went in. During those years I had brushed, but NEVER flossed. I had to have a deep cleaning - 4 visits, one quadrant at a time, 1.5 hours each. And I had to have two severly impacted wisdom teeth extracted. I got off easy, as no cavities were found. The whole experience was very positive. I received gentle treatment, and I can't say that any of it hurt - during or after. I'm no longer afraid of dentists, and I go in religiously every 6 months.

[Gotherella]

Well, I think we've answered one important question anyway:

No, Fanny, it is denfinitely not safe.

[FanGirl]

Thanks guys!

Oz - The left side doesn't need as much work as the right side. The bare minimum on the left is covered by insurance so thank goodness for that. I need to ask if there is any correlation to the right side being worse and that when I had bell's palsy it was on the right side.

Scott - It's an old folk song that the Bobs have done. Actually one of my friends sister is friends with the Bobs and Rockepella and a lot of those groups because her sister is in an acapella group.

I'm stressing myself out to the point where my stomach needs to settle down. I'm trying to breathe and I feel like that scene in Fight Club when Brad Pitt burns his hand and all he can think of is "searing" and "pain." I need to think of my future pain as a ball of white healing light. Between the money and the pain, my stomach keep lurching.

[actualsize]

No, Fanny, it is denfinitely not safe. Denfinitely? Is that an Archie Bunkerism? Nice one if it is!

[By-tor]

Denfinitely? Is that an Archie Bunkerism? Nice one if it is!Dude, she gonna cut you off. ;)

[thewyseone]

my teeth are a nightmare.i had 3 impacted wisdom teeth pulled and another 2 i had to get pulled becuase they pretty much shattered.i had a few root canals along the way too.i cant take getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist my problem is when a dental instrument or tool touches the roof of my mouth i start gaging.needless to say my teeth are screwed. :rolleyes:

a person i work with never went to the dentist,never "had" to.they had perfect teeth no cavities till they experianced pain.they went to the dentist and found that plaq was eating away the teeth under the gums.they had to have surgery for that. :eek:

[Omaru]

Apparently I told my mom when I was eight i'd kill myself if she took me to a dentist again and she never did so I never have and I think irrepairable, unaffordable and embarassed comes to mind when I think of my teeth now. Years of neglecting hygiene probably mean that no amount of brushing, flossing and mouthwash will set me on track.

Yep I am the stereotype representee of bad brit teeth and if all this was because of what I said 16 years ago, I'd travel back in time and beat myself up.

[FanGirl]

I completely forgot to start a poll. Since last year was ulcers in my eyes and this year is dental work - should we bet on me going deaf next year or my nose falling off?

[Dave]

I'll take sudden hair loss for 400 Alex!

Phase 6: A mouth guard. Apparently I grind (and this was prior to seeing the bill) $495.00


I hope you at least get a reach-around.
Try a football mouth guard from the sporting goods store before you do this.

[jjcourtright]

Man I feel like I'm in good company here. I haven't been to the dentist in nearly a decade...a combination of not having insurance...and then being scared after getting insurance. The way I see it, there isn't any pain, so why fuck with it.

What's an impacted wisdom tooth?

Seriously, try this. The insurance compay spent some god-awful sum of money on a custom mouthguard for me, and the thing never stayed on and was incredibly uncomfortable. Spend 20 bucks or so on a standard-store bought one from CVS or Walgreens, if it works, that's one less trick you have to turn on the street corner.

[jjcourtright]

Hmmm...I might have one of those Soft-tissue vertical impaction thingees.

[slizzelizzel]

Nearly everyone at some point in their life has had or will have impacted wisdom teeth. It's a result of the evolution of our species from a much larger jaw to a smaller one, which cannot fit all of the teeth we have properly anymore.

They can generally tell by the time you're 16 or 17 if your wisdom teeth will end up impacting, and generally try to take them out before it happens, because the recovery is way more painful if they were already impacted.

[Dave]

Holy Hell and Sweet Jeebus. It took me all morning to figure out what the Title was refering to. I was mispronouncing Liza, whatamoroon.

things like this are the reason why i refuse to admit i need to see a dentist =[ if i went now i'd probably die of a heart attack, i already know i have at leats 2 impacted wisdom teeth probably two more, so that cost + the cost of my car accident would send me to the deep end

[BAMSS04]

I am gonna just let that one go, for it is too easy. :)

[Graceful17]

I had to have 8 teeth removed... and that is not counting wisdom teeth. I have very little molars now. AHHHH

[RobinHoodDaffy]

Having gone through something like this two years ago, (Halfway through paying for it) I have one piece of advice....Make sure you have a dentist who listens. I had a dentist do a root canal on a tooth other than the one I came in to have checked out. Cost me a fucking grand! I could not afford to go back, as this was while I was not getting paid by the Theater that I used to work for, and have bitched about before. Because he would not do what I asked him to do, I still had problems and pain from the tooth that he left alone and also I could not go back to have a post and crown on the fucking root canal. When I finally got a good dentist she looked at my unfinished root canal and said "What fucking idiot did this horrible waste of money?" So, I kept her.

Also, get the loan or the new credit card or somthing, it just gets more expensive the more you wait. Don't worry, we got your back. They pull some shit on you and we will blow their house down! :D

[Zens7s]

That sucks Fany, I hope it all works out well.

I make a killer brownie if needed for the bake sale!!

I call it the Jack Bauer Brownie.

Jack Bauer holds the record for most brownies sold at any bake sale, ever. And ALL of them are poisonous, except to Jack Bauer, who has spent the greater part of three years developing an immunity to Iocaine Powder.

[Zens7s]

[By-tor]

Inconceivable!The doctor explained that her insides were a rocky place, where my seed could find no purchase.

[FanGirl]

So yesterday I get to the oral surgeon and he takes a look and refuses to give me a root canal. He says that it's a waste of time, money and pain because the tooth is dead and will have to be removed with the wisdom tooth because they are rubbing together. Doing a root canal would only be a temp fix.

So, I go home and call my insurance company and ask how I go about getting a second opinion. They give me the details and I say "By the way, is $1600 normal for wisdom teeth?" Pause on the other line. "No, your co-pay is $60 per wisdom tooth." To which I managed to reply out of shock "My dentist said you didn't do co-pays. That you just got a discount on the work." Pause. "Um, your dentist is lying."

So, I call around to find another dentist and I find one who had an opening today. I get over there fill out all the paper work and wait like 10 mins. They do the x-rays. He says "The tooth will need to be pulled let me call your insurance and see if I can get you to an oral surgeon so he can do that and the wisdom tooth at the same time." I thought I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth. "No only 3. The 4th one is fine." Okay what else? "Two cavities that need fillings." And? "That's it."

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?! So I show him the laundry list the other dentist gave me and he laughed. He sat there and laughed. He looked at the x-rays and the list and shook his head and said "you don't have any of that." What about the grinding? I thought I needed a mouth guard. More laughter and "Nope. No sign of grinding at all."

So I had them do my cleaning which was free and I should hear when my oral surgery is in about 3 weeks.

My total bill will run me $1,510. 3 Wisdom teeth extracted, 1 tooth removed and 2 cavities. I need a bridge which will be $1200 of that and that's it.

I near fainted. I went through all that stress. All those damn dental loans brouchures and websitees for nought. This is why I waited to go to the dentist for so long. Bunch of theives and liars that want to put me through a root canal for fun and profit. Thank the gods this one was good and close to home.

I think I've met my stress quota for the year.

[By-tor]

Worse than freakin' insurance salesmen. I do some printing for my dentist, and flirt with all the girls in the office. They treat me like the king that I am. Siam.

Congrats, on the better news.

I had long hair for 4 years until I shaved it off over the summer. I procrastinated about it for ages, but once I did it I felt like I had lost about 30 pounds. Now I never want long hair again. It looks cool, but wayyyyyyyy to much effort.

I decided long ago if I started going bald, I'm shaving it all off and getting a tattoo on my skull.

Fortunately, I got my old man's hair- thick and shiny. His dad had a full head of thick, bushy hair when he died at the age of 85.



As for the dental woes, Fanny- I'm glad it's not as bad as it might have been. If they have to put you under, make sure you have someone there with you- you don't want to come out of it wondering how you're going to drive home (and why the dentist is buttoning his shirt and his buxom assistant is gargling with Scope :eek: )

[Gotherella]

When I was about ten, I had seven baby teeth pulled and four permanent teeth dug out from under them. Yes, I have four fewer teeth than almost everyone else (hmmm, maybe that explains a few things...). Anyway, when I woke up I had wet my pants and didn't know where I was for about 15 minutes. I remember lying there thinking, "Am I dead? No, I'm wet, so I can't be dead."

Rule #1: Use the little girls' room before going under.

And we're back on topic....

My wisdom teeth extraction is now scheduled for Thursday, March 30th at 2p. The earliest they could get me in. While the procedure itself will only be $240, they informed me if I want to be knocked out it's an extra $425. So, I think I'm going to be eating PB&J for a while to pay for that because I don't think I could handle being awake for that. It's not the pain because I know I would be numbed. No, it's the noise of breaking teeth that would affect me. *shudders* Just the thought. *shudders*

The pain itself has been pretty moderate and I think I can survive another month and then all the Jell-O and apple sauce I can eat. Woo hoo. Yea. Shoot me.

My friend gave me a great home remedy to help the pain you will never see in Heloise. She said to get one of those skiing headband things. Take two pads soak them in water and freeze them. Then put them on each side of your jaw and use the headband thing to hold them in place. They are the right size and curvature so they work wonders. I have to say the thought never occured to me, but makes a ton of sense.

[Graceful17]

Get some Advil, yogurt and some soup and your golden. I had to have 8 teeth out and that is what i lived off of. Surprisingly the pain was not bad at all.

[Zens7s]

Also my mother SWEARS that in the meantime, when your tooth really starts to ache, to take a shot of jack daniels and hold it in your mouth for as long as you can. It has some sort of numbing effect and the alcohol, all that...

You can spit it out if you hate Jack, or take it like a man and swallow it. :)

[By-tor]

...or take it like a man and swallow it. :)I'll just pretend I never saw this.:p

How did getting teeth removed turn into such a dirty conversation?! haha Gotta Love It!

[FanGirl]

Last Wednesday: My mom flew out here to be with me during my dental surgery.

Thursday: Surgery was in afternoon and it went really well. The oral surgeon was great. I slept through the whole thing and woke up numb for a good couple of hours. My memory is a little hazy. I know I had a strawberry shake from McDonald's and a nap, but that's really all I remember of that night.

Friday: I was doing better. Lots of ice packs, movies and had mom and my friend Matt watch the new season of Dr. Who episodes.

Saturday: I was bad. Lots of pain. The vicodin made me nauseous and spent most of the day half out of it watching more movies and sleeping. Lots of chick flicks on TBS if I remember correctly.

Sunday: I wasn't a whole lot better, but we stopped the vicodin. More movies, ice packs and naps.

Monday: I was still a lot of pain and I stayed home from work. Started laying off the ice packs. Started eating semi-solid foods and Mom got to meet my friend's 3 month old baby.

Tuesday: In the morning, I had a total meltdown. Due to sudden lack of sleep and what I think was coming off the last of the evil vicodin, I couldn't go to work and mom ended up staying an extra day.

Today: I'm back at work and mom is flying home now. I still feel out of it. I thought it was Thursday up until 3 o'clock or so today. Still a little pain and didn't sleep real well at night. Very odd dreams. Although, in them I did get to tell Ben Affleck why Daredevil was such a god awful movie. Yelled at Kevin for supporting it.

So here I sit at my desk still feeling drugged and in a minimal amount of pain. I'm trying not to play with my stitches that I can feel on the inside of my mouth. Can't wait until they dissolve.

So thank you those that were concerned. It was bad, but not too horrific. No more mashed potatoes for a while, though. And special thanks to Zens who sent me a gift unlike the rest of you slackers.

Nothing like being almost 30 and have your mom come out and wait on you hand and foot.

[JK]

Hey, guess what I get to do next Tuesday at 9:15am...

Two root canals, a filling, and a crown...

Yay.

I'd be more enthusiastic about it, but I'm on Vicodin (a filling broke off, exposing the raw, pulsating nerve ending underneath)

I can't wait. Four more hours and I get another pill...

Better living through pharmacology. Learn it. Love it. Live it.

If those were the only things making you smart then I think someone misinformed you. lol. Wisdom teeth are a breeze as long as you dont smoke. Nasty dry sockets for smokers oh and dont drink through a straw, the suction also causes dry sockets. Good luck hun.
