This happened to me in the last two days. I’m favoring the right side now.
I’ve been to the dentist today , he asked if I wanted him to numb me while he drilled into my teeth , yes, I fucking do. Dentists are idiots
That’s why there are two sides…right?
Did this for years at one point. Ended up having all wisdom teeth removed as well as a molar.
honestly this is the universal health care plan at this point
Lisa needs braces
Apparently, clove oil is your pain management tool on this plan, according to Reddit. Haven’t tried it myself so I cannot vouch
I had no access to dental for a few years. I finally got an offending tooth extracted 2 months ago and I am STILL relearning to chew on that side.
I actually did this for like a year, but then the other side got fucked up too, and I had to give in.
Jesus Christ , reminds me of that time I cracked a molar in half . I had a hole in there for like half a year – I would eat only on one side and would carry a special little tool to get food out if they got Into the molar hole .
The day after i got my filing, I’ve celebrated with a huge ass pizza .
this is really meeeee lol esp rn my wisdom tooth is really fckin me up
And a regular dose of Tylenol with periodic applications of oragel.. and brushing my teeth with sensodyne
Go to a dental school and get worked on it’s cheap af
Ah yes, teeth, the luxury bones.
Y’all. **Xylitol Gum**. Seriously. It can help re-mineralize your teeth and even heal cavities.
Sips through straw…
Likewise.
Yep. Right side for me
I stock up on soup
Oh man, after I got my rotten tooth pulled I started chewing on the other side of my mouth again. It was a new lease on life.
My dental plan is Tijuana.
r/fuckinsurance
same but then i ran outta sides
Tell me you live in America without telling me you love in America.
Plan B
Life hack: always check the price of a flight to brazil or other LATAM, our thoot doctors are better than your and the price is ridiculously cheap.
And you will have some days in a nice vacation.
I need a Crown, insurance might, maybe, potentially, think about, covering 1/3 of the bill.
Left side chewers unite! We are superior to our weak, right side eating brethren!
my dentist is like 2 months out for reservations
So I had 4 teeth that never had adult teeth form behind the baby teeth, still have 1 primary molar left because the other three finally broke down, and insurance didn’t cover any of them being taken out or bridges or anything because they were not considered permanent teeth. I asked the insurance company at 51 years old how much more permanent a tooth would have to be last year when number 3 had to be extracted. I now have two sides that are missing a tooth, so it’s fun eating a snickers bar. The rest of my teeth are in great shape, just never had those 4 adult teeth form.
Yep. Luckily my wisdom teeth didn’t bother me at the same time.
Mine is “I guess I’ll just brush harder even though it hurts and bleeds, eventually it’ll go away” (it hasnt)
Honestly it doesn’t get much better if you do get a crown or something. You’ll always know when you try to eat something chewy that you’re a knifes edge from a world of pain.
This is why dental care needs to be handled by health insurance, it’s so critical.
I do this, but only with chocolate. I have no idea what it is. Soda, candy, sugar in general I have no issues at all, but if I eat chocolate on one side of my mouth it hurts like a motherfucker for a few minutes.
Me right now
The amount of dental work I’ve gotten is obscene. Had work done through a smaller town center. Things didn’t go well. I spent more money on my teeth than my wedding dress, just to be able to smile confidently.
A friend of ours had this plan, and then a cavity got down to her nerve and infected it and next thing you know she was in the ER with a potentially deadly infection in her jaw.
They kept her for over a week.
Dental is absolutely bullshit but don’t kid yourself – you need the root canal.
Why is dental insurance so shitty. I bought a buy up plan one year thinking it would cover more because my fiance needs her wisdom teeth pulled. It’s still almost $3k with a buy up plan if she wants to be put under which she most certainly does. Like Wtf I pay a decent amount for this insurance too. Never going to a buy up plan again it’s a joke.
Been doing this for twenty years. I’ll probably die soon?
