I recently had to go to the dentist about a really bad tooth. It was infected. There is no saving it even if I wanted to get a root canal and what not. SO....
The only option is getting it REMOVED!
I had to have my wisdom's and three actual teeth removed that Fall (Nov. 2011). The women in my family all have bad teeth as far as I know.
The kicker to this story is that I have NO insurance what so ever. I don't have the money to spend $179+ on any type of insurance.
Lucky enough that I did apply for Care Credit. Which is a credit card only that you use it on medical related things like plastic surgery, dental, eye doctors, specialists, vets, etc.
I got a good amount of credit.
Last week I didn't know if I would have the money to pay for the surgery. My dentist doesn't remove molars.
My oral surgeon is only minutes from me as well as my dentist. I wasn't sure if they took my care credit though. I been worried about how to pay for this surgery since late July.
On Wednesday, my dentist contacted my oral surgeon and explained the situation. I needed this surgery. They said that it would cost about $530.00. Which is great. Then I called them up after my dentist appointment. I asked if they took Care Credit...
They do!
I was relieved because I didn't know how to pay for it. I started to tear up.
SO now my surgery is on Wednesday. I am terrified that it may go up in pricing. I can't afford any more that what it was estimated. I am going to pray that is doesn't go past $560.00 I can't do anymore.
Will update you soon on this after my surgery to tell you my experience.
