Needing some dental work done “a re-root canal” and I’m looking for a clinic or office that takes Medicaid dental.
Anyone have experience or advice in this? Any names or locations?
I know it’s really hard to find providers due to the low payouts.
Lost my job due to major cutbacks now and having a stretch where I need some dental work done and desperately can’t find a provider that accepts Emblem Medicaid.
I’m sure the payouts are bad. Anyone have some experience seeing a good dentist in the lower NY area that accepts it?
Would finding an Endodontist in network be basically impossible?
How long is a good timeframe to wait for post filling sensitivity and ache after cold/warm before going back to check?
I’m wondering if it’s also my filling bite height being a little high might be just enough to make the tooth hurt after chewing for a bit.
How many weeks should I wait? This was a rather large filling in a pre molar that had fallen out and was re-done promptly 15 days ago.
I don’t have any random throbbing or trouble sleeping. It’s only when consuming cold liquids or cold desert and hot soups/food.
Thought & input? Thanks fam!
Long story short my house is built in 1883 and needless to say although the wiring has been upgraded 50~ years ago it’s still difficult in the summer to use window units on the same zone without tripping the breaker.
I wanted to run an independent outlet from my panel out through the sill and into some conduit up to the second floor bedroom and then punch into a single outlet for my elderly Moms window AC unit.
Ideally I would have liked to run the wire in the house between the old studs but it almost seems easier to pull it outside next to an already existing “flood light” wire through the hole into some larger conduit and then add a conduit T and then go right back into the interior.
Attached are some photos. My panel doesn’t have any more room for an additional breaker addition. Should I add a tandem? How many Amps would be sufficient? It’s a standard window 120V AC.
Also I have this existing wire “photo attached” that is ran “dead” from my panel back to the general area id have feed out. It looks heavy gauge like maybe an older 220 line that someone left dead because an appliance was removed.
Could it be used for the 110v hookup? Maybe into a junction box and then romex from there on out. Or would I have to remove it and just add new romex right to the panel?
Any insight would be great. Here are a few photos of my project to give a visual.
Had a pre molar filling done 10 days ago after the previous one had came loose. I was able to get in quick only 2 days.
Dentist replaced filling and off I went. Things were good first 3 days. Felt it was maybe getting better. Well starting around day 7 I had a pretty noticeable ache for 30mins to 1hr after eating or drinking anything cold. Today is day 10 and I had some warm soup. I felt it moderately ache for 30 mins after.
It’s to the point now I’m afraid to eat or drink anything. I’m trying to wait and hold out and see what happens but at what point should I deem something is wrong?
And will this ultimately lead to another root canal? This will be my third in the last year. And one failed and I lost a molar.
Is there any hope or should it just be root canaled? Should I give it more time or just be seen?
Had a filling fall out on a pre molar and got in to see the dentist 2 days later “last Thursday”.
She did the filling and sent me on my way. Things were going ok until about 2 days ago. I started feeling some slight pain when eating like when food would line up with the filling perfectly and then a dull pain for about 30 mins afterwards.
Also I ate some ice cream last night and my tooth had a dull throb afterwards that lingered for hours until I took an Advil to sleep.
How long can this take and should I be worried? Tomorrow will be 1 week and is it normal to have discomfort and lingering soreness at this stage.
I’m trying hard to just wait it out. Any input?
Had a pre molar filling come out last week that was in for about 2 years. I got in 2 days after it came out. Had a new filling put in.
I noticed that initially days 1-3 it was painful to chew over it “normal I read” like a quick zap when chewing over the filling area. Then I started getting this lingering pain after eating or drinking anything cold.
Tonight day 7 I had a little ice cream at about 9pm. Went to bed at 11pm and my tooth was still kind of throbbing slightly. It slowly dissipates but it hangs around sometimes for 1-3hrs after having even a cold glass of water.
Took a Tylenol tonight first night so far I thought I needed one. Could the nerve be damaged?
I get it being sensitive but it’s a week already. It kinda has this dull pain after anything remotely cold for like 1-3hrs.
Suggestions?
I’m needed a first molar implant done after an extraction with bone graft done in late January.
I do have Anthem Dental Insurance and to my knowledge they cover little no implant procedure.
Would Touro Dental School perform the implant at a reduced price? What’s the process?
Looking into both agencies as a possible option. I have 10 years of LE experience as a Peace Officer for NYS OMH.
Anyone have insight on forced overtime for these departments? Also do they work 8s or 12s.
Any feedback would be great. Thank you all.
Contemplating getting back into NYS CS. I previously worked at NYS OMH for 10 years but stepped away to pursue a different path.
Needless to say I’m realizing that I should pickup where I left off in January so I can have some type of pension in the end.
How is DOT I see them constantly hiring. I don’t have a CDL only a Class C. I’d imagine the overtime can be brutal. Which is what I’m afraid of coming from an agency like OMH where they work you like a human slave.
Any feedback? Is it only in the winter the forced shifts? How are the summer months? I’d expect to get paid pretty poor but I think I can start at job rate being I have 10 years prior service at a higher pay grade and I will be reinstated.
I don’t mind being outdoors or hard work as long as I’m not exploited for forced labor 80hrs a week like OMH.
Insight?
Picked this up last year from an old co-worker who does home clean outs and trash hauling on the side.
Evidently he acquired it from a property owner whose grandfather passed away in his mid 90s and this was more of a mantle piece in his 1850s farmhouse.
The young couple was doing renovations and having the house totally remodeled and gutted. I was absolutely shocked that they didn’t want to keep it as a family heirloom.
Personally I would love to find out some history on this shotgun. It has absolutely no makers/mfg marks or caliber stamps at all.
It has some ornamental metal around the trigger guard and bottom plate. It’s clearly missing both hammers and the percussion nipples where the caps would sit are beyond repair and seized. I’m guessing it has to be mid 1800s?
This firearm is most likely never fireable again due to the barrel rust & unknown barrel material as many of them were old Damascus wrapped to my knowledge.
Does anyone know or see any insight on a possible make or brand & caliber of this old gem?
It never ceases to amaze me the historical items people see as trash and are willing to throw away.
Had a filling that came out this week and I promptly put that temporary dental cement over it which helped me make it the two days to the dentist.
Yesterday my dentist did a new filling over the cavity. Everything was fine. Last night I flossed between the two teeth “carefully” and felt a little jolt when I removed the floss.
Fast forward to today I ate dinner around 7pm “pasta and small pieces of boneless chicken” and as I was chewing lightly I felt some occasional little jolts of pain.
Then drank a glass of semi cold water and from about 8pm to 10pm has a consistent dull to moderate toothache pain starting.
So now I’m wondering if it’s too early to tell what’s going on here? I never had a jolt of pain when eating or a toothache after a filling before.
I have an appointment Monday for a “general exam” and I’m terrified that this will be another root canal. I already had a failed one in January that led to an extraction from a different dentist.
Kind of really getting dental anxiety here. Any advise? I’m only 1 day post filling. But it seems odd.
Rebuilding the clutch on this old girl. Got the plates and clutch pack all back in. Put the casing on and could not get the clutch to disengage.
Tried adjusting less tension on the springs. Assembled again. Still not disengaging.
Any advice on this? Also one of the clutch plate spacers looked beveled. Is this normal or are they all supposed to be flat?
Any advice?
I am soon to be the third family member to switch over to progressive from Geico. Recently my policy went up 30$ more a month for no reason.
Let me say my record and policy is absolutely spotless. Been with Geico for 16 years and they just don’t care. Never had one claim. 1 ticket. 1 anything.
They get me for 330$ a month for two 10 year old payed off average vehicles. I also have Defensive drivers applied.
So my brother basically has the exact same policy with his wife with Geico just went to Progressive and is paying 204$ a month from Geicos 350$.
Same Injury/Property/Liability numbers. So he will be saving nearly 900$ in 6 months.
My ex just switched over also. Going from like 230$ to 140$ monthly for her little civic.
What in the world is the catch here? Is Geico management asleep at the wheel or delusional? I’m located in New York which I’m sure affects the rates but lord have mercy.
I got quoted 200~ month also from 330$. That’s drastic. Something is up here.
Recently lost my job based dental insurance and was forced to get on Medicaid for a bit. It’s basically next to impossible to find a dental provider that takes it.
Seems it’s only clinics or schools has anyone else had this experience or can suggest a decent dentist that accepts new patients on Emblem Medicaid?
Recently lost my position due to downsizing of my company and now I’m forced to utilize my accepted NY-Medicaid for at least until I get job based insurance back.
I’m looking to have some dental work done and I’m looking for feedback on any of you who have or are currently on Medicaid. I have Emblem “Adult Medicaid” New York.
Is it even possible to get adequate dental care while on this? Or will it just be ghetto clinics flooded with migrants and dentist that treat you like cattle.
I have been told horror stories. And that basically nobody accepts it. Any Feedback?
Let’s just say I have had quite the dental journey the past few months with a few problems as you can see on the photo.
About 2 days ago I started getting this sensation from my lower tooth circled in the photo. Now I was aware this tooth has quite some ware from “grinding” that I catch myself doing sometimes but never any sensation or pain until now.
I believe it might be getting down to the inner layer which is causing this discomfort now.
My question is what can be done about it to “de sensitize" the tooth? Im trying to be seen in the upcoming week. Can it be “built up” will they be forced to root canal it?
I also have NYS Medicaid which is another story but I looked it up and the office I’m going to takes that coverage.
Any insight on what can be done to A : relieve my discomfort. B possibly build up the tooth?
I am wearing a mouthful to sleep which is let’s say pretty tough to get use to.
