The dentist told me that if I want to save my tooth I need to prepare at least $ 400. If not, I don't have to pay that much for them to pull it out, but the thing is.. it's my (canine/fang) whatever kind of tooth is that... and the doctor said it's an important tooth too. I don't know now... I need some very serious thinking to do here 
It's really painful now

, it's good to see you here again my friend. Haven't seen you for awhile here. You must have a new year resolution. hahahaha.
I know it's pretty expensive right? It's actually getting okay now. Thanks.

Dental care charges are too high...400 dollars...i don't know how u will collect this much money. Are you not covered by any health insurance plans? Hopefully those plans will help you....

True! I told hubby that we needed that amount of money to fix my tooth and he was shocked to hear that. He even jokingly told me to just let them pull my tooth so that the pain would go.
But of course he knows as well that that would be the last thing I would do. Now, we are talking a a different dentist and asking for some quote, and I think this one is cheaper.
Ahhh! I hate losing a tooth of course. I would do everything to save it. :(

16000pesos?? For a tooth?
Are they going to replace it with a gold? Or maybe with a small diamond in the middle?
I think that's too pricey. They will just replace it with a porcelain or plastic, I think they call it root canal. But I know it doesn't cost that much for a tooth. Try asking other dentists.

Yup, 16000php and could go up still depends on the damage and the treatment they will do. So sad, It's hard to let go of my tooth that easily co's I hate wearing a false tooth. Actually... this thing just made me realized that I really need to care extra care of my teeth co's it is very expensive if one is damage unless I want to go toothless for the rest of my life. hahaha.
I am actually talking to a friend dentist and I think her price is lower than that first dentist I went to. I might go visit her clinic next week co's I cannot do it this time since I'm still taking a antibacterial meds. Honestly... I really can't wait anymore, thanks to painkiller pills... they helped me wait.

Thank you, but I'm not a man but a woman hiding the username of my sexy hubby. hahaha. sorry!
I know... having a toothache is no fun at all, specially when it's repeating again and again. I really need to see a doctor again right after I have done taking these antibacterial meds a doctor has prescribed me.
It's sometimes go... crazily painful!

Can you arrange to make payments to your dentist? Sometimes dentists will take a down payment and then, will let you make monthly payments. Especially if the tooth hurts. I would check with another dentist if your dentist won't allow you to make payments.

Thank you ZoeJoy,
This is one option I am considering right now though. I will yet to learn how much would it really cost and then I'll decide from there. I am talking now to our dentist (she has fixed my hubby's teeth and done some on in mine too), she just live far from us reason why I did went to her when my broken tooth hurts.
Then we decide to go to her instead though she's far rather than let someone do my tooth specially now that my tooth needs a special attention.
I'm just waiting that till I'm done taking my antibacterial meds then I'll go ahead to visit my dentist.
There is really nothing I can do now but wait... even this hurts like crazy sometimes. :(
