This is it pall. Roooooot canaaaal... Damn you Weird Al.
Well fuck me. It seems that my cavity is starting to interact a bit more with my nerves in a particular tooth. Combine that with my sinuses dipping down low and actually connecting with those nerves just a bit and you get... half my face in numb pain!
The Doctor I went to gave me some antibiotics to help deal with the pain after getting a good look at it with X-rays. The visit came out to $128.
He referred me to a doctor that he felt would be way better at attempting a root canal than he was. I got the impression that he just did not feel able to take care of the delicate procedure considering the circumstances of this particular patient. Me.
I called the doctor and got an estimate of how much it would cost.... $1200. Yeeeaaahhh.... I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to afford that on my own any time soon. My insurance doesn't work with that doctor cause it's a discount one. When the doctor I'm supposed to be going to becomes available sometime in June, he might be able to do it. But perhaps not as well. It would at least be 600 bucks instead, but that's still a looot of money for me at one time.
With my credit debt to pay off, rent, food and phone to pay for.. that's gonna be hard. Basically... help? What should I do? I could try asking people for money, but that's a lot to ask for. I'd like to keep this tooth, but I just don't think I'll be able to. :\

(which aren't really needed....cuz i do that pretty well on my own.)

If any money lands in my paws it's all yours.

You're probably just going to want to yank it at this point tbh.

OP
Sadly, I can't. There is a chance if I yank it out that I will tear my sinuses with even a dentist doing the job. Which would mean I'd need surgery. XD
