So it appears that the liquid pain medication that I take has made my teeth weak. Now I didn't know that the medication could do that or I would have used the fluoride toothpaste that my dentist gave me. I'm really irritated about that. I went to the dentist that week only to find out that I have cavities in all four quadrants of my teeth. My insurance will cover part of the first area but the next two treatments wouldn't be covered if I get them done right now. They would be $1000 each. Now my insurance rolls over on the first of May and would start covering stuff again. My dentists office did some calculations and they estimated that it would be somewhere around $700 to $800 but they can't be sure until they run it in my insurance in May.
I'm so frustrated they used the words root canal if I don't get things taken care of soon especially the first one. We returned some things and scraped together what we could to pay for that. Emma also has two cavities and we got the money for those. I don't know how I'm going to get her back for those. They want to split them up because they're on opposite sides of the mouth but I know my daughter if she freaks out I can't get her back to the dentist. If it gets bad I'm going to use the gas and my insurance doesn't cover that it's $100. As it is I'm getting anxious right now myself just thinking about all this and I'm probably going to have to take an Ativan for my own procedure.
On a good note I finally have a medication to help me sleep that actually keeps me asleep at night. I haven't had a solid night of sleep in over two decades. It's so amazing and although I'm still incredibly stressed the sleep in enabling me to handle it better.
