Tom...I just wanted to add my prayers and best wishes.
I wish I could help but we have had to deal with so many medical bills the last two months that my daughter had to pay for husbands last doctors visit.
But, I am hoping you get relief soon and wish I could help.
Don't feel bad about asking. We all need help sometimes.
I never in a million years would have thought we would have to take money from our kids. But, thank God they had it and could help out. I don't know what we will do from here so I do know how you feel and what you are going through.

OH my Tom, I am just getting on today after being off line for few days, Is it still hurting you bad? I do hope you found something to help witht he pain. This sounds kinda dumb but my wife put a used teabag on her tooth to help with pain and she went into dentist he fixed it lasted 2 days and he had to pull it , it was instant relief for her. It took her a week to get into the dentist even with the tremendeous pain. She was about ready for the ER but got some relief from the tea bag. When I say used teabag it was cooked into tea then kooled a bit and slightly squeezed out then put on the offending tooth.
The ER can help you and you can go to business office and apply for aid with the bill most hospitals have a program that may qualify you. Heck send em $5.00 a month better than suffering, What they going to do throw you in jail where you can get free health care. Forget that don't do anything dumb just to get some medical help we need ya on the board.
One other thing grab the dentist you went to by the ying yang next visit and say Fix the Pain or you share it with me. LOL He sounds like a jerk go sit in his office and refuse to leave until he does something, if you can last til Tuesday.
I do hope you are better by now but know it is hard to stop that kind of pain. & it always happens on weekends or Holidays.
Will be emailing you. I want to help if I can.

I hope that by now you have gone to the emergency room, if not, I would explore all possibilities before going back to the semi-retired dentist. I have inherited my mother's poor teeth and have invested tens of thousands of my and my insurance companys' dollars in this crappy mouth. I have had root canals in every single tooth and therefore am free from the pain the nasty nerve cells deliver. RED FLAG #1 Every dentist or endodontist worthy of his fees will proactively place a follow-up call to make sure there are no complications after a root canal. Some of my best dental work was done by a semi-retired dentist using slow drills and outdated equipment. He was, however,a perfectionist and believed he had a calling. I was an uninsured student and he charged me $5 per hour to pay for his assistant. God bless him, today he is senile and doesn't remember me but I will never forget him.
