Seeing the dentist today and in so much pain. I'm really worried that I'm going to need root canal or extractions as I just can't afford it. I have a dental plan, but it's pay up front then claim back part of it.
If I need extractions, I don't have enough teeth on the other side so eating is going to be a real issue and I can't afford a denture or implants. Dentist has advised against a bridge as not suitable.
There's no nhs dentist availability anywhere near me, so having to use a private one. Essentially, I'm worried that I'll end up stuck. Not able to afford the treatment I need, struggling to eat. My eating is already difficult due to asd and this will make it worse.
I doubt anyone will be able to suggest anything really. I'm just in pain and upset.
