Case Description
hello, i hope you can help me with some information. i do not have health insurance and have limited income and that is why i have never really made it to the dentist (which at this point is a luxury) and i do not have a great credit score to try for the financing. my problem right now is my #1 tooth (according to tooth diagram), has a hole going right to the nerve. i am in constant pain and headache and this is affecting my everyday life. my #18 tooth is just half a wall with a huge hole as well, this makes eating food very difficult and painful . my #5 tooth grew behind the other teeth and my gums are sore. teeth #25-21 have black at the gumline, i don't know what that is but i know it's not good. question i have right now, is there a sliding scale fee dentist here in san antonio that can help in extracting the #1 tooth, i can't stand the pain anymore and all i keep hearing is about financing or dental programs but they're for disabled or elderly folks and i'm neither. please help me, a response is appreciated.

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.

Sorry to hear about your dental pain(s) from what I''''m reading here whatever you do you need to see someone quickly.My partner and I do have a sliding scale--especially on extractions which come in all shapes/sizes/level of difficulty.May I make a suggestion? Why not come in to our office Monday a.m. for a complimentary exam/consultation. I can give you very accurate fees at that time after the exam.If this sounds good to you simply give us a call Monday a.m. at 499-0009 and let our staff know we e-communicated this weekend.
