u/Dry-Week1919

Had a filling fall out on a pre molar and got in to see the dentist 2 days later “last Thursday”.

She did the filling and sent me on my way. Things were going ok until about 2 days ago. I started feeling some slight pain when eating like when food would line up with the filling perfectly and then a dull pain for about 30 mins afterwards.

Also I ate some ice cream last night and my tooth had a dull throb afterwards that lingered for hours until I took an Advil to sleep.

How long can this take and should I be worried? Tomorrow will be 1 week and is it normal to have discomfort and lingering soreness at this stage.

I’m trying hard to just wait it out. Any input?

Had a pre molar filling come out last week that was in for about 2 years. I got in 2 days after it came out. Had a new filling put in.

I noticed that initially days 1-3 it was painful to chew over it “normal I read” like a quick zap when chewing over the filling area. Then I started getting this lingering pain after eating or drinking anything cold.

Tonight day 7 I had a little ice cream at about 9pm. Went to bed at 11pm and my tooth was still kind of throbbing slightly. It slowly dissipates but it hangs around sometimes for 1-3hrs after having even a cold glass of water.

Took a Tylenol tonight first night so far I thought I needed one. Could the nerve be damaged?

I get it being sensitive but it’s a week already. It kinda has this dull pain after anything remotely cold for like 1-3hrs.

Suggestions?

I’m needed a first molar implant done after an extraction with bone graft done in late January.

I do have Anthem Dental Insurance and to my knowledge they cover little no implant procedure.

Would Touro Dental School perform the implant at a reduced price? What’s the process?

Looking into both agencies as a possible option. I have 10 years of LE experience as a Peace Officer for NYS OMH.

Anyone have insight on forced overtime for these departments? Also do they work 8s or 12s.

Any feedback would be great. Thank you all.

Contemplating getting back into NYS CS. I previously worked at NYS OMH for 10 years but stepped away to pursue a different path.

Needless to say I’m realizing that I should pickup where I left off in January so I can have some type of pension in the end.

How is DOT I see them constantly hiring. I don’t have a CDL only a Class C. I’d imagine the overtime can be brutal. Which is what I’m afraid of coming from an agency like OMH where they work you like a human slave.

Any feedback? Is it only in the winter the forced shifts? How are the summer months? I’d expect to get paid pretty poor but I think I can start at job rate being I have 10 years prior service at a higher pay grade and I will be reinstated.

I don’t mind being outdoors or hard work as long as I’m not exploited for forced labor 80hrs a week like OMH.

Insight?

I am soon to be the third family member to switch over to progressive from Geico. Recently my policy went up 30$ more a month for no reason.

Let me say my record and policy is absolutely spotless. Been with Geico for 16 years and they just don’t care. Never had one claim. 1 ticket. 1 anything.

They get me for 330$ a month for two 10 year old payed off average vehicles. I also have Defensive drivers applied.

So my brother basically has the exact same policy with his wife with Geico just went to Progressive and is paying 204$ a month from Geicos 350$.

Same Injury/Property/Liability numbers. So he will be saving nearly 900$ in 6 months.

My ex just switched over also. Going from like 230$ to 140$ monthly for her little civic.

What in the world is the catch here? Is Geico management asleep at the wheel or delusional? I’m located in New York which I’m sure affects the rates but lord have mercy.

I got quoted 200~ month also from 330$. That’s drastic. Something is up here.

Recently lost my job based dental insurance and was forced to get on Medicaid for a bit. It’s basically next to impossible to find a dental provider that takes it.

Seems it’s only clinics or schools has anyone else had this experience or can suggest a decent dentist that accepts new patients on Emblem Medicaid?

Recently lost my position due to downsizing of my company and now I’m forced to utilize my accepted NY-Medicaid for at least until I get job based insurance back.

I’m looking to have some dental work done and I’m looking for feedback on any of you who have or are currently on Medicaid. I have Emblem “Adult Medicaid” New York.

Is it even possible to get adequate dental care while on this? Or will it just be ghetto clinics flooded with migrants and dentist that treat you like cattle.

I have been told horror stories. And that basically nobody accepts it. Any Feedback?
