Tooth problems?!


Question:

Tooth problems?

last year i broke one of my second molars, just the top was broken and it didn't hurt (well..didn't hurt after it broke) and now its starting to hurt, and im not sure what i should do? So anyways i got 2 questions,Ive been using oragel to stop the pain, are there any other ways to reduce the pain? and im going to see the dentist on friday and i have no dental insurance and im short on money and fixing my tooth would cost likely and most probably over $1000, what should i do?

well to fix the problem i have to get a root canal and then a crown or cap, unless i just rip the tooth out, but im not sure if its good to rip that tooth out.


Answers:

If you have left it this long, and you are in pain, it will cost you a LOT more. There's not much you can do about the pain now, if it gets too bad, go to the hospital. They do have emergency dental supplies there. Keep in mind it's cheaper to address these things as soon as they happen. the longer you go, the higher the expense. Don't panic too much though, it shouldn't cost you all of that all at once. Even if you were to require root canal treatment, it's over three or so visits which are at least a fortnight apart.
