Case Description
I haven't been to a dentist (for myself) in years in the past year I have been loosing teeth in the back of my mouth (upper and lower) and had no other choice but to find $$$ to been seen I can't eat or sleep because of the pain, The dentist I saw said I had severe gum issues which is why I was loosing all my teeth the gum issues were eating away at my teeth from the inside out. I was told to see an oral surgeon to have the 5 remaining teeth pulled and cannot find one that is willing to work with me on the money. I don't know what else to do. I am in fear that my front ones are about to go, I had a root canal done with this last dentist which was never finished cause I was told to see the surgeon first. I don't know what to do I am in pain daily and unable to eat. i won't be able to affford partials once the final teeth are pulled but the infections are getting so painful and gross I am just lost. any help to figure what I should do would be great... Thank you.

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.
