Wish me luck ?

I'm going to the dentist today with 2 broken teeth and I don't have medical insurance. I expect to return home financially broken.

Just an update for the sake of interest. Apparently it was 2 big fillings that broke off and not the teeth themselves.
But here is the most amazing part. The dentist only charged me for the equipment used and not for his time even though it took over 1 hour. It's a private practice too.
Wow ! If there is an all powerful being in this universe somewhere then please give Dr Bhika some kudos. He's a really good Human being.

@Wraithorn that's great. Going to the dentist can be really expensive. Glad yours was ok.

@novembermoon Thanks. He is the first dentist who ever gave me a discount. That kind of thing is unheard of so he impressed me in a big way. People like him make this world a better place.

I wish you a lot of luck as I am waiting for a crown. But while waiting my gums got infected from the temporary crown because the dental hygienist left a piece of retractable cord embedded in the gums. I had no idea until after a week of swishing with salt water then the gums pushed the black cord out. Was I shocked to find it! She should have made sure no debris was around the tooth. So when I get my crown I will let them know that they did a shoddy job!🤬 Dont get over charged is all I can say and make sure they do the job right!

@SW-User Well that is really shoddy work isn't it ? I hope the crown works out well.
The dental place I go to doesn't have oral hygienists anymore. The dentists just do that themselves.
Anyway I'm back already and the dentist gave me a rather good discount. He's a really good man.

That's great news! I'm glad you had a real dentist work on your teeth and gave you a good discount! Unfortunately the dentists here have dental hygienists.@Wraithorn

I don't know where you live but if you're short of money for the Dentist, they have this credit card called :Care Credit. You have a year to pay it off with no interest at all. Just thought I would tell you about that if it helps. I know a few people who have used it quite successfully.

Hopefully they'll provide with an affordable payment plan... good luck 🙂
Negotiate to pay the bill over 6 month period

Oh no! Best of luck with getting your teeth fixed and hopefully it won't break the bank.

@Stereoguy For some reason they both broke over the last 2 weeks while I was eating normal food. I don't know why. They each lost a rather big piece of tooth.
