Case Description
For about a week now my second to last molar on the top left, if you are looking at me, has been giving me trouble. The gum above this tooth has been swolen at one point like a perfect pea shape. Currently the swelling has gone down. I have notice some pus and blood over the last couple of days. Also my gland area below the left side of my jaw seems a little swolen and has been painful as well. This molar has had a filling for about 5 years now, maybe longer. I have no dental insurance. How much would it cost to correct this problem without yanking the tooth?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Dear Friend,Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question, because I am an orthodontists. You need to call a general dentist in the area. I can recommend Dr. Konstantin Pavolotsky at (440) 684-9424. He is a very good dentist and his fees are very reasonable. Of course, you can call any dentist that you choose.Best wishes for the Holiday Season!Dr. Felix Gen
