Case Description
I have been losing teeth for a while but have been without medical care or dentistry. I am a diabetic and am on SSdisability but I don't get medicare until Jamuary. My tooth became abcessed Saturday. I ended up in the Harris Methodist ER with blood pressure over 220/110 and my face swelled like a balloon. They put me on antibiotics and blood pressure meds but was told I will probably die of a stroke or heart attack soon if something isn't done. I have worked all my life, sometimes 2 jobs, now my life has come to this. I need help I am only 53 and married my sweetheart 2 years ago believing we would have years together. We moved here for work after a business went under. We can pay but we don't qualify for credit anymore. We bought insurance lately but found out Saturday that we had been paying scammers and had no insurance. Please please I need help I don't want to die.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
