Lower tooth pain

[timbucktooth]

Having really bad lower tooth pain and unable to get into an emergency clinic. My regular dentist is scheduled out 2 months. Unsure if I can wait that long. Help I’m nervous I can’t wait that long.

Hey timbucktooth, how have things been going since you last posted?

Thank you. That quote really helped me. Turns out that my tooth is beyond repair. I will be needing an extraction. They told me that I needed to go under for this but am scared of going under so I am requesting to be kept awake. I have heard too many stories about anesthesia to mess with it.

Hey, glad the quote helped sounds like you know what you need and how you would like to get the tooth sorted. Is the practice respecting your wish?

I appreciate your interest in my case- unfortunately it seems as though you care more about my wellbeing than my provider. The issue is that my dentist willing to put my under, however he claims that he is not licensed to do so. Therefore, he will have to hire a nurse anesthetist but unfortunately he claims that he does not have the capital to do so. Which is fine! As I told him, my Godmother's daughter-in-law has such a license and she is happy to help in the procedure. But, my dentist told me that this would violate HIPAA. I think thats a bunch of bologna! Are you a dentist? Would you be willing to help me?
