I also suggest waiting 'til you get married if possible. My husband waited - and his tooth was bad. They had to extract it. I had "low" insurance so we paid a lot out of pocket for him.

I was then able (months later) to move to "high" insurance. Then I needed a root canal and a crown. I paid about $500 for those together WITH insurance. It would have been $2000 without. Ouch!

I am a Dental assistant in DC, here everything is overpriced and most dentist don't even accept insurance. If I would be you go the Dental school, like Athena NY mentioned with them you may be able to get a finance plan. Also when you call ask them how much consultation is. Sometimes if they will treat you the same day they wont charge you for the examination. Do not get the tooth extracted due to the tooth bellow called (antagonist) will move toward the empty space and you will get possibly an abscessed tooth there. you can also ask if they can treat it temporarily until you will have insurance. I would do Root Canal treatment.

Have you ever had a patient with MVP(mitral valve prolapse)?? How does it work?? Do I need to have my check up first to a cardiologist before having dental procedures?

Hi Jesse, I am a dental hygienist and thought this might help you. Patients with MVP can have all kinds of dental work done now. Until May 07, they were required to take prophylactic antibiotics before ANY dental procedure, but now there are new guidelines that do not require them to take antibiotics. However, I do have a few patients that don't feel comfortable not taking the antibiotics and they choose to take them anyway. Certain patients were advised not to stop by their cardiologists, but the American Heart Association says patients with MVP DONT need premedication before dental treatment. Unless you have any other complicated heart condition, you should be fine. You should however see a cardiologist if you have not seen one recently. Here is a link from the American Dental Association that might help http://www.ada.org/public/topics/antibiotics.asp

Also, how long before you get married? Also keep in mind that certain insurance plans have a "wait period" and you cannot they won't cover major dental work i.e root canals and extractions until after the wait period which can be anywhere from 3 months to a year. So before you guys pick a plan, check for a "wait period" especially since you are in pain. Clove oil works great, sometimes Orajel helps too, but the biggest issue is infection. Sometimes infections can get out of control and cause more than just a tooth problem. Try a dental school, they are much cheaper and you have several sets of eyes taking care of you - student and professors. Hope this helps.

A smooth visa journey and much speed to all!

you can put spoon of baking soda in a cup of warm water and rinse your mouth every 4 hours or so.it relieves pain and in case if you have infection it should be helping..they do this in russia..sorry about your pain...I am going through root canals right now and even with insurance its bloody expensive since you need crown afterwards...but removing is worse,then you will need implant that takes long or bridge that will damage teeth around the missing gap...:(

Good to know that I don't need the antibiotics anymore - that was such a nuisance having to make a doctor's appointment to get the antibiotic and paying for both of those and then going to the dentist. I never had to take antibiotics for a dental procedure before I arrived in the States and in spite of regular check ups in Canada plus 2 surgeries, they never identified any MVP - but here, they latch on to it and send me to all sorts of specialists - all who cost more money - and the end result is it isn't serious, just take antibiotics before any medical or surgical procedures. So, now I can get back to normal!

To the OP, good luck with your tooth - I know how it can hurt. Definitely try the dental school for treatment and hopefully it may not even need a root canal.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

You do realise that once you leave the UK, and become a permanent resident of another country, you are no longer entitled to NHS treatment (dental or medical)?

Unless you don't tell them that?
