I don´t feel half of my mouth. Thanks be given because maybe it will hurt later. I had a duct treatment in one of my molars. What makes me mad is that it was done by another dentist some time ago.

I don´t know yet how much it will cost. And I rather ask later as I know that it is quite expensive. We´ll see. I can only wish now the this is the end of the problem. If it continues, plan B (or C) is to take the molar out and have an implant. And THAT is expensive. Do you have dental problems. Are dentist expensive where you live?

@marguicha We have insurance in the US but it is usually not very good.

@CarolDM Insurance here covers medical problems up to a certain point, but not dentists.

I have major dental issues. Only have about a dozen teeth left. Have had some very horrible experiences at the dentist office. Dentists are expensive. It's like they have a monopoly or something.

I´m sorry that you have so many problems. Fortunately I have most of my teeth, but it has meant money and effort.

I also had a bad experience yesterday. What experiences did you have? And do you know the cause of your dental problems?

Dentists are all expensive and here you need an extension to the health insurance to have dentists coverage. We came here that we were already over 60, this extension was not available, we have to pay.

When I took my insurance, dentists weren´t covered. I don´t know if there are plans that cover them now, but as you, my age does not let me change mine.

I have lots of dental problems. Dentists are very expensive here. I spent yesterday 1 hour at the dentist. She worked on 3 teeth at once. She removed nerves and I had root canals. The teeth weren't painful. I can't understand why she killed my nerves.

I had a root canal done today. She spent 2 hours in just one molar. But it is not hurting any longer.

@dya80dya Why? My molar hurt and it seems that I also have an infection. so I will be taking antibiotics for 7 days. The rest of my teeth donth need anything. I cannot imagine why someone would want to remove all the nerves.

@marguicha This dentist wants to ruin all my teeth. They don't hurt, but she wants to remove all my nerves. I don't know what to do. There are many teeth, not just one.

2 hrs?

It usually ends in 45 minutes. If I have to keep my mouth open for two hours, I would probably go like this later ----

@marguicha I guess, these interactions last longer ... and I do not think there's anything worse than that

I am not sure what a duct treatment is. I am thinking maybe it is what we refer to here at a root canal. I hope the cost is less then you expect.

Yes, it is the same. I don´t know some words in English. I take care of my teeth even if they cost some in dentist

They are very expensive here and don´t want to even know about doing false teeth for anyone its all implants and my question what if the people cannot get enough money to have them and still be paying them six years later. Hope that dentist does not plan to charge you too much though they are scandalous here.

I think dentists are expensive everywhere. We are off to the dentist in about half an hour for checkups.

I hate the fact that dentists are so expensive especially since your mouth is so important! I have a lot of dental problems because my hypothyroidism just messed up my gums so badly. I also really want my wisdom teeth out but all of that is so expensive.

I don´t have my wisdom teeth anymore. And I also had to take out another molar. So that´s why I am so worried about this one.
