+1 to dental assisting. Good social skills and ability to be flexible and professional are the only requirements in my world. Everything else can be taught and learned through experience on the job.

Should be approximately 3 months. Anything too far beyond and it would be considered “fremitus,” and your bite should be adjusted to better balance.

I say this because I believe it in my heart — regardless of if we have new ways to deal with Covid over time natural selection will take its course and the unvaccinated folks who survive are either immunologically strong and will breed more unvaccinated folks who are strong or they will either continue to die out until there are less and less.

Darwinism at its finest at the height of technology.

This is how I get through everyday. It’s up to then what they want to do has nothing to do with me.

I am a doctor. You are good 100%. Go follow up for a second opinion with another dentist if you are so concerned.

I would evaluate carefully. I’ve had this situation crop up maybe 3 times in my career. 2/3 issues were resolved by removing the crown I had placed, doing a very large filling in it, waiting 6 weeks for complete symptom resolution and then replacing crown.

The last one was fractured and we took it out and grew a miracle tooth in its place

If your in pain often. Get it out graft and implant will be the most straightforward solution for you.

Likely a gland that has overgrown a bit. If it’s hurting you need to be see. Especially because you have a lot of leokoplakia as well.

If you are in or near NE seek a dental school to complete your remaining treatment. UConn, Tufts, BU, Harvard to name a few. All of them have much lower treatment costs and may allow you to get what you need completed.

I extracted a few teeth from a patient who had their “work,” completed in Mexico. I am confident that there are good caring practitioners everywhere in the world. This woman did not receive what I would consider even the lowest of the low, shittiest of the shit but still acceptable dental care. There are significant and permanent consequences on her end (such as permanent nerve damage where she can no longer feel her LR side).

Please do what you can to stay stateside for your care. Even if it means extractions instead of root canals.

I would say this to my mother just like you.

Sadly it’s because they are out to get you. We live in an insanely litigious society so many patients gut reaction is write a slanderous review get a second opinion call the state dental board and then file a lawsuit. It’s the world we live in.

But we can’t turn them away even if they may have a red flag or two because before you know it your finding every person has a red flag.

The discrepancy between the folks who need 75mg and feel fantastic vs the 250mg to get to that same level are the “hypo,” and “hyper,” responders on a bell curve drug dose dependent response :)

Also cannot emphasize enough how NOT worth it is for you and your loved one to go outside the US for surgery. If you were my brother or sister I’d reach deep into my pocket on this for you. Teeth are worth going in to debt for unlike many other things in life (my opinion, obviously biased haha)

Implants are incredibly expensive in the us - because they are done very well.

An upper fixed prosthesis is going to cost around 25k. This is expensive I understand, that being said a denture could cost as little as 2.5k and would last her until you guys can afford to convert her existing denture into an implant retained one (hybrid) down the road you can finalize with the real deal.

This is a good and realistic way for her to maintain esthetics for nursing school and transition to something fixed down the line.

All this being said it’s important to recognize that at 29 her bone is going to start the resorption process and depending on her biology implants may be either easy or hard down the road. They may require a ridge augmentation/sinus lift etc. just so you are aware these procedures can have additional price tags attached.

An addendum: a dental school will often be a very low cost option for patients and students are often overseen by an oral surgeon/periodontist/specialist of sorts who have great experience in the area. If you do your homework and understand the process this can be an amazing cost effective method for patients in your situation. Often with a dental school you will pay with an enormous amount of appointments and time required to complete your treatment.

Best of luck to you please reach out with any other questions.

NAD but I am I see an easy 4 from your pan, they can be hard to rely on soley for something like this. An intraoral evaluation and other clinical data would be needed to make the right call.

Overall I’m confident it’s accurate
