I was just sitting here minding my own business, wondering how I’m going to come up with $800 to have a couple fillings put in, when I stumble across this post (never been to this blog before). Seriously, I should just be grateful that I HAVE teeth to put fillings in to. Best of luck to you, Kate.

Yeah, it’s for your health isurance to cover. They usually cover dentistry related to the accidental loss or damage of natural teeth. They might turn you down first (they almost always do) but you have to be persistent and appeal. It should be covered, especially since you went to the emergency room.

Don’t let your health ins. co bamboozle you, Kate. I’ve seen this situation before, and all my buds who smashed their faces into goo had them rebuilt by their HEALTH INSURANCE, which paid for the emergency dentistry.

Also, take a look at your AUTOMOBILE policy. It might just cover this, especially if it’s USAA.

You’re a legal beagle, but you need professional help on this one. Talk to a specialist in insurance law.

Don’t even bother with bridgework. I’ve had a bridge that’s been replaced three times–and I will shortly need implants. Bridges last 10 years max. Then one of the anchors goes, because of the stress of the span, and you need a bigger bridge. Pretty soon you have no anchors left. I don’t know how old you are but if you are 30 and live to be 70, you will have to pay for three bridges and then implants. Do not pass go, go directly to implants.

Have you considered a bank loan. I had to borrow when one of my daughters had braces. It got paid off eventually, and she has lovely teeth.

Complete stranger (directed by John Hawkins) to this blog, but felt that $25.00 was needed from our end. Really sorry to hear about the accident, Kate.

Get well soon

David, I think you may have misunderstood. They actually had created the first set of bridges but first needed to extract a couple of teeth before installing them. Then I crashed and in the process handled some of my own extraction work.

Unfortunately, I also knocked out teeth that were supposed to anchor the permanent bridges. That’s why I have to get a second set when I never even got to wear the first.

My dentist is actually being quite awesome through all of this, waiving as many fees as his bosses at the clinic will allow. He’s even made twice-daily house calls for free.

Wait, they’re going ahead and charging you for the bridgework they never got around to creating, and then charging you again for what you need now?

That’s evil.

Assuming you can’t get them to be decent human beings, you should at the very least insist on receiving the bogus faux choppers. If they’re going to take half the cost of a new small car from you, they should give you something in return, just on principle.

You can put them on the mantle, or scare trick-or-treaters with them at Halloween, or something.
