I think I'll be dead from pain by sunrise tomorrow

**BigGreen** · 03-16-2004, 12:58 AM

It's 2:00 am and i just woke up to the worst and most intense pain i've EVER felt in my life. It was pulsing across my whole **** body so it took me a minute to realize it was coming from my ****ing mouth!! I went and looked in the mirror, and something crazy happened to one of my back teeth in my sleep. I don't even know how to describe it except to say it hurts ****ing BAD!!!

As I'm taking a year off between college and (hopefully...assumign i get in) law school, I have no dental insurance. Are dentists going to want to see the cash before they'll do anything? I mean, this is a legit emergency. I looked in the mirror and it doesn't look pretty. I assume they'll just yank the thing and that's FINE by me, just get rid of this pain you bastards. I have no idea how much that'll cost, but I'll be even more pissed if i have to sit in line at the bank tomorrow to withdraw 900 bucks for the whole process. ****KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Tell me someone knows how this whole dental scam works....it's in the wee hours of the morning and i'm not going to call a friend and ask.

This sucks! Evidently you grind your teeth in your sleep. it shouldn't cost much for a tooth pull. Take along that old family checkbook...they should honor that...or at least the credit card. All doctors take cc.

For your prescription, I recommend you taking a couple of vicadin and pray for sleep.

There will be no sleep for BG tonight. And I have no checkbook or CC and never have....i suppose I should get one or the other. I mean, my debit card has a visa logo, maybe the bastards will take that.

**Lostsoul** · 03-16-2004, 01:18 AM

hmmm maybe goto the hospital, if its an emergency won't they treat you for free?

If it's swollen, just bite down on it really hard, push it back into place... I've had that before and that's worked... you might get lucky.

They'll run your debit card as a credit card......you'll be fine with that.

Good luck bro.

**Hitman** · 03-16-2004, 01:23 AM

Ya want to know what fun is? its havin 3 wisdom teeth playing up at the same time and getting them all pulled in an after noon. Theres some stuff i swear by for the pain because it penetrates the gums, its Tea tree oil, works magic for several hours give it a go........Hitman

Swellin · 03-16-2004, 01:25 AM

I guess a man of your intelligence often overlooks the small things. It won't help tonight, but get a danm credit card. This is where they come in so handy. They are best when used for convenience, not for credit.

Maybe they will take the debit card.

Depends what kind of work you need done. If it's a 2 step process. They'll have you pay partial now and the balance on your return visit.

**Carlos_E** · 03-16-2004, 03:45 AM

FYI... Hospitals have Dentists on staff for emergency extractions. They'll do it for free in an ER and bill you.

**Animal Cracker** · 03-16-2004, 03:51 AM

Wait it out...see a dentist..anesthisia will be more than the extraction or repair!

**Testify** · 03-16-2004, 09:20 AM

They can bill you . . .

**BigGreen** · 03-16-2004, 09:32 AM

UPDATE SWEATER MONKEYS:

Have an appointment for later today. The pain is sooo much more bearable now, I think because the intensity of it simply outpaced the nerve's ability to keep up. Gahd i hate this crap.

**big daddy k de** · 03-16-2004, 09:34 AM

dont be a wimp. Get some pain killers and take the tooth out yourself lol j/k feel better bro

I hear ya, I can't stop thinking about that scene from castaway where he takes his own tooth out with the ice skate. I **** you not, last night the pain was so intense that I honestly considered, if only for a moment or two, what i could use to rip the ****er out. I had a bottle of southern comfort and was rooting through the toolbox wondering A) how to sanitize pliers and B) whether it would bleed badly. THankfully, cooler thoughts prevailed. Self-surgery is not likely one of my talents.

**mass junkie** · 03-16-2004, 09:48 AM

glad to see your still with us................. toothaches suck

**Juggernaut** · 03-16-2004, 10:00 AM

Bro I hate the dentist as much as I hate Mart! hahahaha Seriously, I'm sure the dentist will work with you on payment. Hope you get t feeling better soon. More than likely they'll give you antibiotics to kill the infection before they go rooting around in there. Good luck.

Now that the pain is dulled and jsut pissing me off instead of causing me to wish for death, I kind of want to keep it around for squats tomorrow....i'm sure it'll get me all pissed off. I'll just bite down really hard before I squat so that the sudden pain releases a rush of adrenalin.

I thought you might appreciate that.

**daem** · 03-16-2004, 11:34 AM

i think you should have tried to take the tooth out yourself.

i mean, if they are going to pull it, you might as well try to at least save yourself some cash.

use the old fishing line and door slam trick, or invite any sadist over to help you pull it.

just remember to save the tooth to put under your pillow so that the tooth fairy pays you a visit.

Free dental until your 20, then we pay our asses off just like any other country! But i think England has alot more expensive dentalcare cause ive never seen a English girl or guy with nice teeth
