    If you can’t find a cheap or available option try contacting a local college of dentistry. Honestly, they’re always advertising free or low cost dental care here.

      Yes and please make sure you get it checked out! It may seem like a non-issue (just minor pain, etc) but if it ever gets worse the damage is likely going to become permanent and your quality of life with no teeth/extreme toothache is a lot lower than you might think.

        Not even that, your teeth are linked in with your vascular and nervous systems. It may seem like a none issue now but it could lead to neurological issues or sepsis.

          I think you may be right; I watched in real time as someone I know let their teeth rot out, and there’s been a distinct change in them mentally. I only wish I was joking.

        Thanks, you’re totally right as my grandpa neglected his and had false teeth. One of the reasons I’m such an ardent brusher, I’m hoping this case is something simple.

      This. They just need you for a follow-up visits, since they get graded on how mow complete the procedure was done.

      Unfortunately, dental works are of those kinds where everything takes multiple sittings.
