Cap With Hole In It~ Wearing Out~ No Money to Replace It Posted: 01-21-05 23:36pm


Well I have a cap thats been in my mouth since I was a kid...Now in 40's and this cap has had a hole in it for about two years.. Dentist said when I felt pain it would have to be replaced.. Well I have pain when I chew on that side..So ive switched sides now.. To avoid the pain.. I have no dental insurnace and I have no money..Doc says its a 500.00 tooth.. Im totally in debt as is... I know if I keep on going like it is..It sooner or later will get infected or something.. Doc says he cant put a filling in a cap..So I have been living with a hole in a silver cap..Which they dont make silver caps anymore.. Or do they? Any help or advice is appreciated..Thanks blue

Do you live near a dental school??You can get reduced services and really well supervised care at a dental school.It may take a little longer,but you will get your crown replaced for less than what your regular dentist would charge.If you do not live near a dental school,maybe your dentist will let you make payments-most will,if you explain your situation.
