Have you ever tried yo be your own dentist because you didn't have any dental care benefits . I'm 52 years of age and this is my dental horror story. Back in 2007 I had a badly abcessed tooth. I didn't have dental insurance and did not have a job to pay the bills. I was also living in pain. I began to have head aches and the infection had spread from my mouth to my right eye. My entire lower jaw area was very swollen. After a while I gave in and called the dental office for an appointment.
They told me I had to have $240.00 up front before they would see me. This was just to have a tooth pulled. I was in agonizing pian and was not sure if I could wait the 5 days to see the Dentist. Also I didn’t have the money and didn’t now anyone who would lend me that kind of money on such short notice. So there i sat crying in pain. Well I got my nerve up and decided to pull my tooth myself. I tied a string on it just like I used to do with my own children when they were little. I almost passed out after the first pull because of the incredible pain on the side of my face. I sobbed and sobbed. I took time for a moment of silent prayer. All of a sudden I could feel the tooth sliding out. At that point it came out without any pain. I did not realize that I could have died from so much infection.
The Good Lord saved me that day so I may tell other people like me that you really don’t need to be your own dentist. A job like this should be left to professionals. Now I have my and I can actually see a real pro now. Thank God for Ameriplan.
