I Don't Feel Any Wiser...
15 years ago
So umm.. the past week I was having a dull ache in the top of the left side of my jaw as my wisdom tooth started coming through. That's alright, I could handle that. Then I woke up yesterday morning and bam, it felt like I'd been punched in the side of the mouth (I kinda wish I had), so I started to panic about thinking about going to the dentist (I most certainally am not able to afford to get my tooth pulled). Then, by some miracle a few people told me that I could go to Studylink (they're the one's who give me the money I use to pay my rent and for food. they also do my student loan) and ask them if they'd be able to pay for it.
So, I rang Studylink and made an appointment to see them tomorrow. I had to go to the dentist today to get a quote and they poked around and found a bunch of other problems which I need to get fixed too (although my wisdom tooth is the most painful and pressing of the issues). So hopefully tomorrow I find out if they'll pay for this or if I have to find the money to pay for both the extraction and today's consolation.
On another note... how is everyone?

Interesting -- when I was a student, I had to go to WINZ. They paid for my $750 root canal, but I had to pay back the extra $450. I believe I've just about finished paying that off.

I know that when you are working you can go to the Peoples Center. It's about $70 per job but that beats full price. They just can't do major ops like root canals tho. At least Studylink can come to the party for ya.

Ooo :/ Dental work's no fun, much less having to pay out the wazoo for it. Hope you get a fast (and free) fix! Good luck!
