I have a toothache from hell im up here at 3:00 am because i woke up because of it.Im pregnant and this is not fun!I live in Phx az .Any chance nybody knows any type of program that will assist in discounted dental work?Me and my hubby are saving every penniy to get into a bigger vehicle for the new baby coming.please help its hurting whole right side of my face.It literally has me crying.
What kind of insurance do you have for your pregnancy? If it's Medicaid, I believe they cover dental because it is recommended that you visit a dentist at least once during your pregnancy. Do you have any swelling or a bulge in your gum? It could be abcessed and for that I would suggest heading to the er. Infections of the mouth are nothing to mess with because if it breaks loose it will go straight to your heart.
If you have Medicaid you can go to the dentist for free.Honestly, I would just take the money and go in. My husband had some pretty severe tooth aches and if he hadn't went when he did, it would have been BAD. The severe pain was being caused by an infection that would have eventually moved to his bloodstream.
I live in Florida so I really don't know any places first hand but, I googled "sliding scale dentist Phoenix, AZ" and I have a couple of options.
