I'll say one thing about dentists. They can turn u away if u can't pay. I'm not sure I woulda been able to pull a bad tooth right away b4 unless I had over 500 in cash to pay upfront. I don't think I can qualify for carecredit but care credit is bad bc it will make a simple procedure like pulling a tooth end up costing u way more bc the interest added to the payments lol! I struggled with Medicaid and even if u have that, dental is not timely, and u might have to wait awhile to get it in till you're dying. Then your main option is the emergency room where they don't take care of the tooth, they just throw some antibiotics at u and then charge probably 1,000's for the visit without insurance. There's dentists all over, the problem is often cost or access difficulty. I have been turned down by dentists in my home town because I had no insurance not kidding. One guy refused to work on me bc I still had my wisdoms. I hate our medical system here so much, mostly bc kind of inhumane. I did order some fish antibiotics in the mail because I panicked lol! Clindamycin, guess it might work for people too hopefully. Trying to buy a little time b4 I develop an abscess. I'm trying to figure something out though. We have moved to more socialized medicine in the US and the results is that more people will be dying of minor things like this due to cost or difficulty with access for timely service.
