I have four cavities in the back on my molars.   The dentist said they are small to medium sizes.  And that since I do not have dental insurance to get white filling to match my tooth it would cost me over two hundred  dollars.  However, if I get the cheaper silver color fillings it would around hundred a little more the half the cost.

I have been told by my dentist that I need three small filling.  I do not have an dental insurance right now since my job does not offer it to me.  I never really had an issue since I would pay out of pocket for the cost of X-rays once a year and a cleaning.  That was all I ever really needed to have done.

Okay so I am thirteen and I have one baby tooth that has a cavity in it.  My adult tooth is there but has not yet came out enough to push the baby tooth out.  My mom wants to get it filled because she said the cavity can jump to my healthy adult teeth.  However I do not see the point when even the dentist said the tooth should be falling out if not this month then next for sure.  Why pay for a filling?  I do not think a cavity is going to jump to my adult tooth in less then two months.

Can not afford dental care, letting my teeth rot.

I currently have two abscessed teeth that I am sure needs to be pulled and about six cavities that need to be filled. I am on the low side of low income with no dental insurance.   The amount of dental work that I need to have done will cost me more then I can save in four years!    There are no caring dentist that are willing to help me I know since I called five in my area who all said that they would only be able to give between 5  to 10 percent discount if I pay in full.   Please there is no way I can paid cash in full and they think they are doing me a favor.

Right now I do not have a job and as you can guess live on a very fixed income.  The help I get from the state is not much and does not pay for my dental needs.  I know I have a cavity or two that need to be address sooner then later.  Is there state help that I fail to fine?  Or are there dentist that work with very low income people?   If so how do I find them?

Does anyone know or hear of someone having an allergic reaction to having a filling done?  I been having really bad pain since I got back from my dentist.  My teeth and jaw have be hurting.  I was not in any pain before he did the filling.

For the last three months I have been having trouble with one of my back molars on the bottom right side of my mouth.  It started hurting but only once in a while depending on what I was eating.   Now within the last few weeks it seems to be a constant low pain in my tooth.  I also get a  weird bad taste in my mouth.

I have not been to the dentist in over seven years.  I use to go to the dentist regularly before I had a really bad dentist that messed up a root canal and I have not been back since getting that fixed.   I guess I am afraid of dentist because of that experience.

I been having a toothache now for the past few weeks.  It is one of my front top teeth.  It is not OMG I am in pain but it does hurt off and on.   I have been to the dentist only for him to tell me I do not have any cavities nor do I have any gum issues.  I know I should be happy with that but I even had my orthodontic dentist look at my teeth and he also tells me that my teeth have no cavities.
