Question: My fiancée has been in pain due to a rotten tooth that broke four days ago.  He went to the hospital which gave him some pain killers and antibiotics but that is all.  They told him to have the tooth pulled of fixed he will need to see a dentist.  As long as he takes the pain killers, he does not have any pain but without dental insurance he is worried that it would be to pricey to have his tooth fixed.

Reply: The antibiotics will help to keep down any infections and the pain killers will help with the pain but they do nothing to fix the real problem. After he out of pain killers and antibiotics he will be back in the same boat.

Seeing a dentist is very important since this issue will only get worse if he dose not fix it right away.  There are many good low cost dental insurance options that will help to greatly reduce your dental care cost.  Review our HMO insurance plan options as they are the lower cost plan types.
