Toothache.. No dental insurance.?

Question

I have a temp. crown on tooth #20. I haven't had a chance to go get the perm. crown put on. I got a root canal back in April. My dental coverage from the state got cut off on the 15th. I still get medical coverage. I woke up today & my tooth is killing me right around the area of the crown. What should I do? Should I go to the ER? If so, what will they do?

Answer 1

Cure your toothache without opening your mouth!

Just rub ice on the back of your hand, on the V-shaped webbed area between your thumb and index finger. A Canadian study found that this technique reduces toothache pain by as much as 50 percent compared with using no ice. The nerve pathways at the base of that V stimulate an area of the brain that blocks pain signals from the face and hands.

Look and see for the dental school and sometimes they will help you..I know my family in San Antonio, Texas that is what they do because they dont have insurance either..and I donot think they charge.. they are students learning to become dentists and they are being spotted by a real Dentist as they do the work..try that..and see if you have one there..Hope I helped ..

You can buy more temp crown stuff from the Chemist. Or go to ER and ask them to dope you!
