Granny's gone and done it again

It’s not

So they took an x ray of the problem tooth and then the doctor came in after a bit. He said it looks like one of my teeth has inflamed nerves and that was the cause of the pain and said it was good I came in LOL he referred me to a specialist for root canal therapy although idk why they can’t do the root canal there???? I’ve had other root canals done there before… but I think this specialist does microscopic root canals which are different I guess. Idk. Anyways, this specialist is like 30 mins away from my house… then again my regular dentist (the one I saw today) is 15-20 mins away. So not THAT much further LOL but still… and I hope to GOD they take my insurance or else I’m freaking screwed… I’m assuming they do since he asked me what insurance I have before going and writing it but still… they might just have a partnership with this place… the referral slip has this place’s name and info etc. on it sooooo… idk. LOL he also said to call today but after he left the receptionist was like “that might be kind of hard to call today because they close at 12 today so they’re only open a few more minutes (it was 11:57) and they’re closed tomorrow. They’re only open a few days.” I Googled it and they are open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but Thursday is only 8-12. The other days are normal hours LOL 9-6. Sooooooo… I guess I will wait till Tuesday to call now LOL but if they don’t take my insurance, I’m SCREWED because I’m not going to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket or even hundreds so I will just have to live with the pain. It’s already getting somewhat better but still. This sucks.

The pain will only get worse. You have to get it taken care of. So sorry this is all happening, but the good news is, you have a diagnosis, so you can do something about it.

Shrek, nerve pain is one of the worst pains you can have. You are very brave. I'm glad the dentist was recommended to you. It was a good call. They will take your insurance or the peeps at your dentist office wouldn't have sent a referral over there. Don't worry, it will all work out.

Thank you so much!!!!!! I sure hope so but I know sometimes places just partner with other places and they don’t always take every insurance. Or even if they do, insurance might not cover everything.

Did they give you or tell you what to take for pain? I guess you will find out about the insurance Tuesday.

How can they see an inflamed nerve on an X-ray?

IDK. I guess it showed up. I think the X-RAY showed below the gum line too
