I agree it is messed up I had an issue during my last pregnancy I had bit into something n my tooth broke i rinsed my mouth out n all was good went to take a nap n woke up a very short time later to the right side of my face been like a balloon I went to the er they said they was goin to give me somethin to help so then nurse came in an gave me an antibiotic n went to walk away when all of a sudden I heard a slight bubblin noise n felt a huge pop in my mouth. When I had rinsed my mouth out I had apparently missed somethin n It had caused an absect form on the inside of the tooth . Then got told go home use warm compresses n tylanol . I thought I was in pain when I went in there but after was 50 times worse I couldnt see straight .
Well, I think one of the easiest ways to tackle this problem is to enroll in some discount dental plans. This way you can ensure that the costs of maintaining and treating oral sanitarians are maintained. A well-known online dental insurance service provider gives an affordable as well as various discount dental plans.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of dental plans have very low "caps" for the entire year of just $1000 - $2000. After that, y.o.y.o.
Here I have yet to see a dental chair in an ER hospital. ER's are not equipped to do dental work, they'll give you some aspirin and then refer you to a dentist.
It's like a motorcycle going into a Ferrari dealer for mechanical work, both are vehicles but each place is not qualified or equipped to do the others work.
The amount of dissociation between dental and medical is bizarre.....just.....bizarre.
Yes, I'm currently in a bad spot dental wise, but I'm also curious.
If a person's untreated dental issue develops into complications, it then becomes a medical issue, possibly life-threatening. Would an ER/hospital be obligated to treat the underlying cause? What else is somebody supposed to do if they have no insurance and no money?
It would depend on what kind of emergency, and what kind of treatment.
I mean an ER wouldn't normally be equipped to pull teeth, but they should certainly give you antibiotics.
Someone answer this for me: Why would a dentist want to work in a hospital? What is their incentive?
