Qualifications: If you needed brain surgery you would see a Neurosurgeon, not a GP. You need to see an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for care. That's what he/she is trained to do. You can m are payment arrangements with the surgeon, seek funding at Care Credit, or arrange for a bank loan. You have a dangerous problem that requires the services of the appropriate specialist.

Dental Insurance: Dental insurance is really almost like a discount dental plan. You'll pay little or nothing for some procedures, more for others. Either way, you need treatment regardless of insurance coverage. This infection appears serious and the longer you wait the longer you will suffer and the greater the chance the infection can spread further, resulting in a life threatening situation.
