Today, as I was eating something that was not even hard, a piece of one of my molars fell off. It seems that I will have to leave some money every moonth for the dentist. All the time, something is happening lately. I will have to call tomorrow morning to have an appointment soon. My daughter will go away for a week with her husband and I will take care of the small kids with Carolina. What do you do besides swearing inwardly when things like that happen? Dentist is not usually within my budget

Sorry to hear about your molar mishap. Not nice thing to happen. Dentists are basically free here in Scotland for senior citizens or people receiving any form of welfare benefit. Hope you get an appointment soon.

In my country they are very expensive and not in any sort of health insurance.

@vandana7 God watches over Scotland. St Andrew our Patron Saint claimed God created Scotland first.

Dentist is never in anybody's budget..:( But we let them have a free hand in our mouths I hate it when they ask me to open it wide...come on, if I could I would. Sorry about your molar..hugs.

Well unless you can find a remedy for what happens, then all you can do is swear inwardly. I hope that you can get to the dentist soon.

I am sorry to hear that. Today going to see the dentist is expensive. In fact this year I also spent time and money to fix my tooth. Finally I can take a break after it is settled.

I hadn´t had many problems for a long time. Now it seems that my teeth are crumbling.

So sorry you have to deal with this. I bet it hurt. I'm glad that my medical card covers it but really hate surprises like this.

@marguicha the company I work for have included dental expenses in our health coverage. We can get our teeth cleaned twice a year and we can get two teeth filled out in a year as well. You can actually get as many tooth extractions as you need in a year but I haven't heard anyone, availing this service. I guess it hurt too much!
