I have a bad tooth. It’s been hurting for a bit and now my left cheek is so swollen if feels like I have a golf ball in my mouth. I don’t have dental insurance and am currently furloughed because of this stupid COVID thing. Is there any inexpensive antibiotic that I can be prescribed […]
How do I handle a knocked-out tooth?
We were on a play date at a friend’s house the other day and our boys were riding their bikes when all the sudden one of them came in bleeding from his mouth! Thankfully it wasn’t my son, but his friend’s tooth was completely knocked after toppling over the front of his bike. His mom […]
I got “bounced” at a local venue; shouldn’t they pay my emergency dentist bill?
A few weeks ago I had one of the worst experiences of my life when my friends and I went to a local venue for live music. Nothing out of the ordinary was going on, we’d been to this place many times and it has always been ok. Well, for whatever reason, people got real […]
Can’t I trust bonding from the emergency dentist to last?
We had an ice storm last weekend and wouldn’t you know, I fell. Instead of landing on my backside, my face took the brunt of it and all I have to show for it is a black eye and a broken tooth. I looked like I had been in a fight. Of course, my regular […]
Tooth trouble while pregnant… can I get a root canal?
I’m in my third trimester and woke up the other day with a terrible toothache. The pain got so bad that I finally broke down and went to an emergency dentist and he wanted to do a root canal. He assured me it was safe, but I just couldn’t do it right then and there […]
I look like a chipmunk, but can’t afford to go to the dentist!
I’ve been dealing with a toothache for a week or so and this morning I woke up and one side of my face has blown up like a chipmunk with his cheek full of nuts. I’m in so much pain! I lost my job a few months ago and have no insurance and a limited […]
Is a root canal safe during pregnancy?
I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and have a terrible toothache. I had to go to an emergency dentist, as I couldn’t take the pain much more. I was told that I need a root canal. I left there without getting the treatment, even though the dentist said it would be okay to do while […]
How can I get emergency treatment for my disabled dad?
I am a full-time caretaker for my father. He’s bedridden for the most part and I’m very concerned because I think he has a tooth abscess. I know he needs treatment very soon, but I don’t know what to do because I can’t transfer him to a wheel chair myself, let alone get him in […]
Will an emergency dentist re-attach my porcelain veneer?
I have a job interview in two days, and one of my veneers just popped off. It doesn’t hurt, but it looks horrible, and I’m terrified it will cost me the job. I think this qualifies as a dental emergency, but my dentist’s office doesn’t seem to agree. They said they can’t get me in […]
Will my dentist be able to fix my super glued crown?
I was out of town over the weekend and my crown unexpectedly broke in half. The only thing I could think of – and that was easy to find to fix it – was super glue. I know that sounds completely crazy, but I super glued the crown back together. Now I’m worried that I’ve […]
