Rethorical question: Where in the world your insurance doesn’t cover this?
And: Buying a house … I don’t know what to say about this. Who would do such a thing?
It is not uncommon for people to travel from California or Las Vegas to Mexico for dental work because the expense is so high, sometimes even with insurance.
I do live in SoCal, so it’s not a crazy idea… Really hoping it won’t come to a potentially expensive surgery or Mexico though.
I live in IB. All my neighbors get their dentistry done in TJ. Apparently a $1600 crown here is only $200 in TJ
That’s actually a really good deal, better than I expected. 🤔
I had a cavity filled for 20 bucks in Mexico. Granted it was in zacatecas which is central Mexico but the dentist was reputable. He got his license in new York and also practices in new York. He’s from that small town so he travels there a couple months a year and offers very cheap dental work for locals since he’s from there and wants to give back to the community that helped him. Def check out tj or rosarito if you can though.
Damn, that’s an amazing price. That was recent there?? And I like the idea he’s giving back.
Almost exactly a year ago yea, was over on vacation.
Canada just released its timetable to phase routine maintenance dental care into a consolidated health plan.
It’s starting small, but if our Republican wanna-bes don’t kill it we could have universal coverage and equal access to dental care regardless of economic station.
Everyone deserves free healthcare and dental, I pray you get to see that dream.
The provincial conservatives where I live are trying their best to destroy that universal healthcare. It’s rather infuriating.
I bet, I’m just glad to see areas of the world have it. Gives a little hope to some of us in the states.
Hopefully the conservatives in your area aren’t the majority.
This. I’ve only been recently able to afford much needed dental care, and now it’s too late for one of my teeth, a tooth above it broke the roots because my mouth is too crowded. Had I been able to afford it earlier, I would have a much more normal mouth.
I have larger than average teeth too, so I had braces all of middle school.
Hoping the cause of this is something simple like a sinus infection, though the area has a baby tooth that’s managed to hang on and it has fillings from when I was a kid.
My problem is the opposite, normal teeth, small mouth! Haven’t ever been able to have braces until now, so I’m knocking it all out now. Hope everything goes well for you!
Ouch… Hopefully it all goes swimmingly for you, and remember no pain, no gain. And thanks!
This might sound scary, but try holding ice cold water in your mouth. I had an infected tooth and that made it feel SOOOO much better until I could get it fixed.
May or may not help your situation, but if it hurts as bad as mine did, you’re probably willing to try anything.
At this point, I’ll give anything free a shot lol.
