over the last few days i have called, emailed, searched and begged and again no medicaid dentist would see me. none of them returned my calls or answered emails. i have read reviews on some of these dentists and i went into a panic reading how bad they were and the terrifing stories. i even emailed dental schools and went on the american dental association site. nothng.......the horrible truth im learning is if you have a disability and need medicaid as far as dental care goes in ohio you are out of luck. unless your really brave, which im not, you can go to the dental chain that takes medicaid and hope and pray they dont kill you or mess up your mouth so bad you will wish you were dead. i dont know where else to search. im exhausted and my anxiety and dental phobia is threw the roof.
im so disgusted with dentists. i have been on web sites and watched you tube videos on how easy it is to be a dentist and how one of the first things dentists learn is how to scam insurance companies and people and start making your first million by the time you have been practiceing for 5 years. seriously!!!!!! ever see a poor or middle class dentist???? never!
but they wont see medicaid people because they say they will lose money. are they kidding???? i read an article on line that helping medicaid people doesnt hurt a dentist at all. what they lose is pocket change to them. of course seeing me or another medicaid person may mean they might have to wait a day or so for that new car or house. but its no hardship. the crime is people like me are left to suffer and die because of greed and that dentists dont care. they dont have to take the same oath that medical doctors do in fact dentists answer to no one. and even if they kill someone they never lose their liscence or get in trouble because its impossible to even sue them. i talked to a women at the ohio dental board and she said in the 20 years shes worked there not once has a dentist lost his license even when he or she did something really bad. i thought that was scary. so where does that leave me???? i talked to a woman whos husband was so sick with his teeth they had to take out a second mortage on there house to get a dentist to help him. now hes working 2 jobs and her one to try and keep there house! this is crazy. i dont know where to go from here. the tv stations, the newspaper, my sentator? im so frustrated and scared. i needed to rant and vent. this is wrong and i hope these dentists who have been so cruel to me sleep well tonight because i believe in karma and one day there greed will catch up with them and they will suffer 10 fold. but right now they are laughing at me all the way to the bank. and dentist make fun of people with dental phobia, of course we are afraid because bad greedy dentists made us that way.
but for now i have no choice but to keep humiliating myself and keep calling and begging until i have another heart attack, caused by no dentist taking medicaid my doctor says, and hope i dont get sepsis or my heart gives out and i die.
this is so wrong.
