Dentist

Post by Hulk »

What are you like at the dentist? It's a major phobia of mine and I would rather sit in pain than be subjected to the torture of the dentist equipment.

It's not the dentist so much it's the needles :(

I need one, I can't afford one. Two fractured teeth with exposed nerves has left me in agony for quite some time.

I don't like dentists. I don't go often 'cause it's expensive and annoying anyway, but my medicaid does quasi cover it...
But like... It's always painful and annoying. :3

That's very fortunate, my medicaid does not.

Yeah, New Jersey is horrible, but our medicaid program is actually better than federal medicare to a degree.
But only certain things are covered in regards to different things.
Like there was one hematologist that would have been able to see me but not actually treat me and I was like "what?" xD

Our Medicaid covers it in theory. In practice, every local dentist that accepts Medicaid has an extremely long wait list or has stopped accepting new patients entirely.
