My Teeth Used to Be Pretty Until This Bonding

I had to have a filling placed on a front tooth in a visible place. The dentist did a white filling, but it did not match the rest of my tooth. When I brought that up he suggested doing dental bonding on four teeth so everything would match. He told me he was much cheaper […]

Should I Get a Refund on a Dental Crown?

I’d been going to a dentist who advertises as an affordable dentist in the state I used to live in. I thought everything was fine and was happy with the work. I recently moved to a new state and just had my first appointment with my new dentist just to get established and for him […]

Affordable Dentistry Didn’t Work Out

I had some dental crowns done by a dentist who was much cheaper than everyone else in my area. My gums became irritated and started bleeding. I had them redone and the same problem happened. So, I forked up to visit a gum specialist to get a deep cleaning done. She said that my dental […]

Infected Tooth and No Money

I have a tooth that is very infected. My cheek is swollen. The problem I have is that I was laid off. I don’t have any extra money. I barely have enough to pay rent. My dentist does not take payments and I don’t know what to do. Is there a way to nurse this […]

“Cheap” Dentist is Costing Us a Fortune

Can a Root Canal Treatment Be Re-Done?

I had a root canal treatment done a few years ago. Now the tooth is infected again. My dentist is saying we’ll need to re-do the root canal treatment. Before I agree to this, I have a few questions. First, I didn’t even know a root canal treatment could be done more than once. Second, […]

Dentist Said to Get Rid of All My Teeth

I’m so upset. I grew up in a poor family that could not afford dental care. It was a long time into my own adulthood before I could afford to see a dentist, but I’ve finally been able to get a college degree and a good job. I’m in my 40s and the first thing […]

Can’t Afford To Deal My Wisdom Tooth?

I cracked a wisdom tooth some time ago but didn’t really have the money to deal with it. Now it is decaying and I am still broke. The tooth is super sensitive. Is there a way to deal with this just with antibiotics? Kevin Dear Kevin, I’m sorry you are going through this. It’s always […]
