Living In God's Exquisite, Miraculous Sufficiency wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas!!!
Saturday when I woke up from my nap to catch up for not getting enough sleep the night before, my left lower jaw was hurting. As far as I know, I do not grind my teeth at night.
The only other time I really experienced real jaw pain was Jan’05, which resulted in a root canal while I was on vacation, which did not make that vacation a real vacation because of the pain I was experiencing and having to find a dentist to help me out of state.
I’m hoping that’s not the case here. The pain is not as bad as that time, but it’s still pretty painful. I took some Oragel and have been doing it every 3-4 hrs or so, which helps some, but not strong enough.
I do not have dental insurance, so if I remember correctly, the expense of it was around $2K, which is not money I have to do this. Please pray they can find the problem and fix it for not very much, and if it costs more than I can afford, that my dentist will work with me on payments that I can handle.
Well, I just checked my dental discount plan. It’s about $700 for a molar root canal and for the crown, it’s about the same. That’s still a lot of money for me.
My prayer here is:
1. That whatever is causing my jaw pain can be easily remedied inexpensively permanently.
2. If I’m requiring a root canal with a crown, that my dentist will work with me with payments that are affordable to me and that I can get all the money to pay for that quickly.
3. I can get an appointment today with the dentist that fits Sean’s & Hannalee’s schedules.
