4th set I guess…
When I was 16 I was assaulted and shattered my front teeth and every couple years I have to go through the trauma all over again because things keep happening to my teeth.
The two front teeth have had caps, temps, crowns, and root canals. And the left one decided the root canal didn’t work so I have a massive infection, constant pain, antibiotics haven’t quite kicked in yet, and I’ll be needing extraction and implant. My second implant. I already went into a ton of debt with the first one, second front right tooth, which died from the inside out due to the trauma.
I’ve already made a few consult appointments, haven’t scheduled the implant surgery yet because I just don’t know where that money is gonna come from. I paid for the last one with carecredit and defaulted due to circumstances out of my control. So I’m not even sure I’d get approved on the credit card if I tried again. Insurance covers 10% of an implant. Not a huge help but I’ll know more certain coverage once I go to the specialist.
Right now I’m just in a lot of pain, in limbo, trying to buy myself time with the antibiotics.
