Went to see a dentist Thursday because the fillings I just had done a year ago have broken and are causing pain. After the x-rays and a small exam they told me I have to have 4 teeth pulled and bone grafts put in their place. Turns out that the last dentist that did my fillings messed it all up and put the fillings on the top 2 molars all the way in the very back (the ones before your wisdom teeth) on the nerve. So those 2 have to go and so do the wisdom teeth there. The bone grafts are to keep my sinuses from collapsing. I've had chronic sinus infections and found it's because all of my top teeth start in my sinuses. All of the roots are in my sinus cavity area. After some work itll be better. I have to pay $1,209 out of pocket and I have no clue how I'm going to do it. My first set of extractions is on August 11th and I have to have $500 that day to pay for the bone grafts. The insurance covers the extractions but not the grafts. I am unemployed and I'm going to end up going into debt to make sure I'm healthy.
