Dental...what to do?

Question

My husband has 3 cracked teeth but we have no dental and we are not rich. I desperately want to bring him to dentist but I don't know how much it will cost or pull out or fill it? We are in BC, Canada and...not sure what to do. He says that he's not in pain but I know he's lying so I won't worry about him as much.

I thought about bringing him into ER but do they have dentist? This may be a minor thing to ER people and I don't want to take extra time off from people need help more than my husband. Plus it's a long wait in line as well...

Need some advice about price range please and thank you!

Apparently, when he went to dentist last time which is years ago, dentist couldn't freeze his gum at all even dentist tried so hard. He had to stop to try injecting this anymore because it has gone up to the maximum amount regular people can take.

Answer 1

Try visiting a University close to you that has Medical/Dental Schools, depending on you family finances they would provide low cost/free dental care.......and some Er's do have dental care..don't let the problem go too long....it does not go away...it gets worse and more $$ at the same time.
..I wish there were "More" caring people like you in this world :-)

Answer 2

I dont honestly know about Canada, BUT.. here in the States, most Big cities have some kind of Medical/Dental Schools/Hospitals together.
If you live near a big city, seek out the med/dental facilities available. Most likely they'll have a Dental School/Hospital in the area. GO THERE.. if they have one. YES, you may have a 'student' or a 'resident' work on you, but its better than nothing at all. And the cost is much cheaper than going to a regular Dental office. You'll still get good care....
Sorry i cant give prices, BUT i hope this little bit of info i did give helps in some way. Good luck... I hope your husband feels better soon.

Answer 3

HELLO,
I WAS SADDENED TO READ THAT YOUR HUSBAND DIDN'T DO WELL WITH THAT ONE DENTIST YEARS BEFORE. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT A DENTIST THAT KNOWS HIS ANATOMY AND UNDERSTANDS HOW DENTAL ANESTHETICS FUNCTION.
I'M NOT SURE AS TO HOW IT WORKS WITH SOCIALIZED MEDICINE IN CANADA, BUT HERE IN THE STATES IF YOU GO TO A HOSPITAL THAT ACCEPT PUBLIC AID, THEY WILL ONLY GET YOU OUT OF PAIN BY EXTRACTING THE TOOTH.THEY WILL NOT DO RESTORATIVE WORK WHERE NEEDED CROWNS ARE INDICATED.
AS THE COSTS VARY GREATLY, QUOTING YOU A POSSIBLE TENTATIVE COST FOR THE TREATMENT, WOULD BE INADVISABLE.
