Infected Impacted Wisdom tooth

[luckycharms288]

So today is my birthday and it has been horrible. I have a impacted and infected wisdom tooth that has to be cut out soon. I have no insurance and dont quilfy for any type of dental assitance. It will cost anywhere from $900-$1200 to go to the oral surgen be put to sleep and have it cut out. Around the first of july I can probably save $500...it will be really tight but i think i can. So I will still need about $600 or so. At this point I think my only option is to get a loan from my bank. The only problem is that I owe a little bit of money mostly medical and I have nothing in my name its all in my boyfriends name so I dont know but i dont think i have very goof credit. My mother in law would probably co sign but the bank is saying the would need about $1000 In collederal. The only thing I have that i could put up is my car. Im not sure if its worth $1000 or not. So anyway I just wanted to vent a little bit.

Many dental offices have payment plans you can set up...or installment plans.

Iv already called and they will not work with me they want it upfront. They do have a thing called care credit and Iv tried that and dont quilfy.

Do you have a teaching hospital somewhere near you? I have had almost the identical situation you have been dealing with and did not have more than $30 to my name at the time and the pain got to be well, unbearable. I heard though a friend of a friend that U of M had a dental program and as long as I was okay with 5 students being in the room for my procedure they would go based off of my pay, which as a waitress isn't much. I think my total OOP was around $300-400 made in small payments for a $1,000+ procedure and honestly it was the best experience I have ever had at a dentist and with my terrible teeth that says alot. Good luck I know it stinks I hope it all works out for you!

I found this online: http://www.okdf.org/Patient%20Inform...t%20Dental.pdf

There seems to be some #'s that might be able to help.

I've had an abscess tooth (not wisdom but it was horrific,) so I feel your pain!

Do they have you on abx?
