Case Description
I have two very bad broken and rotted teeth that need removed (only option at this point). The left bottom wisdom tooth and the one in front of it. The tooth in fromt of these two has already been removed. I am a 45 year old female. The last dentist I went to a few years ago said I would have to have oral surgery ( about 4000.00). There is no way I could or still can afford that. The insurance I have will only cover 1000.00 a year and that will not do anything toward the work I need done. I do have other issues that I can't even consider taking care of. I have had to live with the pain, bad breath and imbarasment. Is there any way they could possible just be pulled and spare me the pain of not being able to get anything done. The oral surgery is just not an option with my income. I make a little to much to be able to qualify for any assistance. I am desperate to get these teeth out and would very much like to have all my teeth pulled someday and just get dentures but that will also have to wait. I appreciate any suggestions on this matter.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
