I've been on DSHS for a few months while I've been out of work. I finally got dental exams for myself and my kids since I finally got medical coupons from the State. Unfortunaly we weren't able to be seen for our resorative treatment (fillings) for a couple months due to the fact the dentists schedules are overbooked. My family's dentist appointments are scheduled in just a few days, but my problem is I just started a new job.
My new job requires me to work overtime, yet their main concern is that I always show up for work on time, and that I dont miss any days. I didn't tell them I had a dentist appointment because I really wanted the job. It only pays $10 per hour, which keeps me and my kids in poverty, but at least it IS a job.
Should I risk losing my new job to keep our dental appointments? Or should I just let the decay in our teeth get worse and leave it untreated to keep my job?
(BTW: I only worked 3 days at my new job already)
