[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 378051, member: 1233"] Tooth pain is the absolute worst. I FEEL your pain, truly I do. My teeth are disintegrating because the years of no Vit D going back decades that no doctor ever mentioned until 3 yrs ago. Call and find a way to speak to the dentist himself. Or send him a letter marked personal. Tell him what was going on when he saw you (so that he remembers you) and then tell him that the billing person refused to do payments of any kind. Ask him if there is anything he can do. He may say no, but you asked. He may get mad enough to make HER pay for it! I have known it to happen. More likely he might make a rare exception and make her take payments from you. It cannot hurt to ask, esp as he promised to help. I don't know what it is with dentists, but around here if they take your insurance they LOVE to tell you it is covered, no copay and no fees, or that it is only $50 or so - while they have you back in the chair. Once they are done they take you up front and you get the bill. Which is enormous and you cannot pay it but they keep telling you that you have to - right now, no payments. If you say the dentist told you there was no fee, he comes out and says you misunderstood or he did or it was a mistake, but you do owe the $$. in my opinion it is a ripoff scheme and should be illegal - but who could prove it? I am sorry your teeth hurt so badly. PLEASE STOP TAKING TYLENOL!!!!!! Give your body a chance to heal from the large amts you have taken!!! You can take large amts of ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, even Orudis (ketoprofen). They are all OTC in one strength but given in higher doses by rx. These won't be likely to hurt you, but the tylenol WILL!! ESP with your kidney problems!!!!! There is no sense trying to get rid of tooth pain by causing even more kidney pain, is there? I wish there was more I could do to help. [/QUOTE]
