Hi Bryanna,

I was at the dentist today after 7 days of antibiotics and was ready for extractions. He was a lovely man and agreed completely that I need these teeth out. He said he was going to do an xray and then get things ready.

But when he called me back in to look at the xray he said that the original rct tooth had a huge abscess attached to the end along with infection in the recently rct'd tooth beside it. He said the roots were quite bad looking and he wouldnt touch them and gave me the name of a few oral surgeons. I was told to ring my insurance to see which ones were covered, then contact him with who I was going with so he could email them xrays etc.

I rang my insurance and there was confusion about where I was covered, then thought it was sorted, picked an oral surgeon who is seeing me for a consultation on Friday. But when I rang my insurance back to double check, they said I wasnt covered at all as I was only covered for impacted wisdom teeth. I tried explaining how this is more serious then impacted wisdom teeth but dont think that was much help. I am waiting to hear back again tomorrow for definate from them.

The secretary of the oral surgeon said that he could see me for consultation friday but he had no surgical appointments available until March. I explained that I was diabetic and had been sick for weeks with infection etc and she said well come in and we'l see.

Anyway Im home now exhausted from lots of train travel, phone calls and crying from frustration and stress.

Just thought Id update you and thank you for your support again.
