Again, if it were only that easy. People have screwed dentists and doctors over so much that they won't do payments unless you're credit is good



Here's my thread Natalie.... Yes, they DO deny you care.

I'm sorry


I'm just trying to help. I wish I were in a better financial position that I could send you the money you need, but unfortunately I'm on long term disability which barely keeps me going.

What they did was wrong. Legally they can't refuse you! You should have threatened them with a lawsuit. There is really a written law that says that they can't refuse you. I don't know how to look up your laws there, but if you will contact a lawyer (free 15 minute phone consultation), they can give you more information on that including the law acts that state that.

They said that since it's not life threatening then they do NOT have to see me. It's not worth trying to fight them. They said they would see me, but only if I paid $126 BEFORE they seen me.

All I have to say is move to Canada. I live in a one bedroom apartment overlooking the river and a gorgeous view of the downtown, but if all of you and you pets don't mind camping in my living room... come on up!!!!

As much as I hate to, I think I'm going to be heading to the ER this morning. I woke up and the whole right side of my face is swollen, including around my eye. I'm waiting for my mom to get up so I can call her and ask if she'll watch Deacon.
I know they won't do much but this is too painful now to bear.

Well good luck! That really sucks!!!!

They may just give you demerol but at least you won't feel it anymore!

I know that here they have an emergency dentist at the hospital but I think the most they do without Insurance is take the tooth out...

You might find it a bit of a change in temperature from Florida! They don't call where Natalie lives "Winterpeg" for nothing!

Ended up not going. They said they would just give me antibiotics and I have them here. There isn't a dentist out there that would pull it until the infection's gone
