Now on antibiotics and
Vicoprofen, but pain comes right back the moment I don't take enough of
the pain med. Things took an unexpected turn for the worse. Originally I
was supposed to have root canal for 2 teeth, but teeth seem too
badly damaged and not save-able ( waiting for oral surgeon to confirm
this after he speaks with some colleges). A normal extraction is
dangerous because of my
teeth/nerve positioning and other medical stuff. So they'd have to do
some sort
of different extraction which leaves part of root in place somehow, only
removing portions of damaged teeth, and they also think it is a good
idea to try
and do same with wisdom tooth right there ( grown in sideways), to avoid
it becoming an issue later
on (as they expect it might ) and having to go through a second surgery
for it.
So it went from 2 root canals to 3 partial extractions under full
sedation. Because
of my Dysautonomia ( low blood pressure/rapid heart rate) it would be
dangerous
/ potentially life threatening to not have sedation done by
anesthesiologist under full hospital monitoring equipment. Independent
oral surgery clinics will not take that risk. Which means I will have
no choice but to be referred to Mayo Clinic / St. Mary's Hospital, who I
still owe money, and just like once before, they will want that money
before they will do this procedure. And now that I am without insurance
and unemployed, they will probably also want the cost of the procedure (
or part of it ) up front. Thus the price I was originally quoted just
skyrocketed.
