   Question    posted to Dentists on 09/22/08 12:20 PM, White Plains, NY 10601
I have no insurance, therefore whatever needs to be done with me I'm going to have to pay for out of pocket. I'm a college student and I'm looking for an affordable but qualified dentist to give me a check up.

Since Saturday night I have been suffering from a severe toothache.  Since then it's been painful for me whenever I apply pressure to the upper right row of teeth towards the back, whether it's chewing food or brushing my teeth.

I'm afraid I'm a little bit unclear about my dental history, but I'm sure I've had fillings for cavities, and my dentist then told me that my gums bleed easily.

I don't know what's wrong with me, and I'm planning on going for a check up as soon as possible. I went to zoomnia to maybe do more research on local dentists, but if this gets really unbearable I'll just go to my family's dental care provider.

Thanks a lot.

Don't wait for it to become unbearble. You already have a problem that needs to be addressed. With out a proper examination and X-rays it's impossble to tell you what needs to be done.

Hello!

Based on the info you have provided, it sounds like 1 of 2 things are causing your discomfort.  Firstly, there could be a deep cavity present which can only be verified by an exam and x-rays.  Secondly, if you haven't had your teeth cleaned in a while and you produce a lot of plaque, you may be suffering from a gum abscess which may only require a thorough cleaning of the area.  I urge you to seek attention right away as the problem will only get worse even if the pain goes away or lessens.  I understand the difficulty obtain quality care when finances are an issue.  Be assured that my office provides the highest quality care, using the most modern and comfortable techniques and equipment.  Our fees are average for Westchester County and it is quite easier to obtain a lower class of service than we provide and still pay much more money.  We accept all major credit cards and can even help you obtain a health care credit card for your personal use for medical expenses at our office and other medical offices.

Good Luck!

Ed Zuckerberg, D.D.S.
