Firstly i am so sorry you are in so much pain, it must be awful,one of the worst pains is tooth pain, you have my sympathy 100 per cent.

Secondly can you afford another opinion and to get quotes from two different dentists, i have been ripped off before by dentists,so check it out if you can.

Thirdly if you need a rather big procedure enquire about intravenous sedation , it is wonderful, you won't remember a thing, as long as you have good veins in your arms, you will be sweet,it does cost more , but if you are a nervous patient then it is well worth it.

I wish you all the best ,and that you can make a decision soon and be free of pain.

I feel your pain. I'm so sorry. I think it's awful that dental insurance is so hard to come by, unless it's covered by an employer, and even then it stinks. I pay for Delta Dental on my own so at least I have something.

I had my one and only root canal on the top right, 4th tooth back. I opted for pulling but my dentist said it would affect my already shifted bite (mostly due to TMJ). Personally, I think you're too young for a tooth pull. My teeth are shifting despite my age, so, I'm thinking (and what do I know) you're too young.

My dentist allows me to pay off my bill. I made the arrangements with him because of course his check-out receptionist wouldn't let me. He knows my situation (and where I live ) and he thinks the dental health of his patients is important.

I'm sorry this doesn't help much, I guess. Maybe, just maybe, if you take your dentist aside, you can make payment arrangements. You never know. But, seriously, if you have bleeding into your sinuses (I learned the division of sinus and root of tooth is thinner than a stand of hair, hence wrong diagonises) you MUST have treatment because it will lead to more serious problems.

I wish I was a trillionaire so I could help you. I'm so sorry for your pain.
