New York State Dental Law states that as long as a person has 4 upper teeth and 4 lower teeth, it counts as a functional bite. That means, after 2 weeks of having this hole in my tooth and suffering through stuck food, shots of pain, a constant itching, and a possible infection, my claim was:
There is another appeal going on about I ranted and cursed on the phone, but it sounds like it’s only to say they’ll cover the yanking. For all I know, it will only cover the use of string and a slamming door. I really hope the motherfuckers who made this rule have had all, but 8 of their teeth yanked out. If not then I volunteer to do it since I’m not a dentist either, but I own a pair of pliers and, if need be, a hammer. I’m sure their dental coverage will handle all expenses.
So in conclusion:

Bloodsport

Well then let’s do a crowd funding thingy. (Either to take care of the tooth or to buy guns)

Somebody suggested crowd funding at one point, but I have to get it done ASAP. They have to at least cover the extraction since I can’t keep going like this.

Oh, Charles, you have my sympathy, We have no dental insurance, and the last (and only) time it was recommended I have a tooth pulled, I talked them into removing one of the roots instead (that was the infected part). So far, so good, and less expensive than having the tooth pulled and then paying for an implant, at least for the nonce. Take care! Your blood pressure will be next!

Thanks. Sounds like this one will just get pulled and remain a gap. Depends on what they say. My worry is about infection right now.

Daaaaaaaamn that sucks 😦 Medical insurance is such a scam. Even in Canada, with free health care, we don’t actually get dental. Which makes no sense, because the last time I checked, your teeth are part of your body.

It is weird that dental and medical are separated. Eye care too down here. It’d be like needing a type of insurance for every part of the body. ‘We can cover your lungs since you have respiratory coverage, but those broken ribs require skeletal coverage. You have the basic, which says you’re good as long as half of the ribs are intact.’

I mean, I guess the theory is you’ve got the body doctor, then the eye doctor, then the tooth doctor — each specializing in their own field. Which is fair enough, because I’d rather have a doctor who knows what he/she is talking about. But when your insurance (or health care) only covers certain parts of your body … madness. Utter madness.

I guess each one does require a lot more specialization than everything else. At least for the doctor-side of things like you said. Insurance doing it is definitely a pain.

Oh, it won’t be. It clearly limits all coverage of pox related illness on page 25, section XII, subsection 3, paragraph 7. You gotta love insurance companies and the government regulations which allow them to do this to people.

My wife actually does that and we use coconut oil for cooking at times. Won’t really help me since I doubt coconut oil can close a gaping hole in the tooth. Honestly, I have no problem with the dentist. My issue is with the insurance company that made this a mess that’s been dragging on for over 2 weeks.

Gets even better from what I found out today. They’ll probably reject the root canal by tomorrow, but the extraction requires a new claim. That means I have to go to the dentist to get checked and they’ll send it in. It could take 3 days if expedited or 7-15 business days if it isn’t.
