Case Description
I have been seeking to remove my 4 impacted, infected and seriously painful wisdom teeth for 3 years. I also need a crown for a broken front tooth. I sat in the emergency room for 9 hours before walking out. I have been turned away from the free clinics because I support 3 people on 15K a year. I have not had insurance in 18 years. Do I deserve to die from starvation because I am too poor for help but too "rich" for charity? This is absolutely disgusting to me.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
