Case Description
I've had a rotten tooth infected for almost a week now, my whole face on that side has been extremely swollen for 6 days now. I went to the hospital and they gave me antibiotics, but they didn't work.
The reason I put off going to the dentist for so long with these emergency is because I don't have any insurance. All the dentist accept CreditCare, but CreditCare won't accept me. I'm just scared I'm going to die.

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.
