I really feel for people who have bad dental situations, especially due to how fucking expensive even standard dental care of going to a dentist for cleanings or stuff like birth issues or accidents. I had a handful of cavities while young and when my parents had no dental, but thankfully almost all of them I was able to get filled and they were able to afford the cost and I never lost any of them. Right now I just had to get a root canal I had done on a back molar retreated due to an infection still coming in the remains of the other root and my dentist is in the process of negotiating down the price of the treatment of getting it cleared after I just received a bill of $1700 when the insurance company claimed the treatment wasn't "medically necessary" due to already having a root canal in that tooth. So far they got it down to about $800 and are still fighting with them to get it down to the $200 that the insurance company initially said the claim would be estimated at. Still waiting to get a permanent crown put in too, which likely will cost me a few more hundred bucks unless the company plays hardball again, then I'm looking at $1000 at least. All of this makes me wish I just had them pull the damn thing, its the top back second molar anyway and you can't see it.

Anyway good luck to all you peeps who have it far worse than me, I can't imagine how awful it must be
