Tooth fell out, what now?

[Anonymous]

I am in serious need of help. I'm newly transplanted to Monmouth County, New Jersey and had a tooth fall out. (Front Lower) There are two additional loose teeth, and honestly four in total that all look like they need rebuilding. I'm in the 30 day new resident waiting period to have dental coverage. Don't flame, I don't have time for it. Periodontal stuff is terrible in my family due to soft teeth, thus aggravated by pandemic inaccess to care, stacked on a kid who has massive medical needs that I prioritized up until about June of last year when my own health began to tank.

What do I do? ER looks like a 4 or 5 hour wait, I don't understand what universities around here might take me.

Please help wiith soliid things, because My time wiith access to internet is severely limited. Sole caregiver of massively disabled kid.

Please help by looking up university, low cost or while waiting for health insurance to kick in. Now I'm off to make my kid breakfast.

Please I need the help. Thanks in advance. Just doing as well as I can ova here.

I mean, yeah, you need a periodontist. Not sure why you would go to the ER.

I don’t know about low cost. This is unfortunately going to be super expensive to fix. Like five figures.

Maybe see if there are dental schools?

When did you last see a dentist and in what state?

This generally isn't covered under dental insurance anyway...just go to the consult and find our more.

So sorry this sounds stressful. The ER can’t do anything. If your teeth are that bad then you should just get them all pulled and get dentures. That will be the cheapest. Just had one implant and crown done and for one tooth it’s about $7,000.
