Tooth Pull
Well, I went down to Nogales, Sonora, and I checked out one dental place. The interior was clean and professional. The staff member that I talked to was knowledgeable. I have interviewed somebody who has gone. She liked her experience, but I’m a little more skeptical. I wasn’t able to see the back, and I don’t know the laws in Mexico. Thus, I don’t know what actions I could take should something go wrong. So I won’t be going there to get my tooth pulled.
Today, I will get my tooth pulled in the U.S.

I was able to get my financial aid status changed. They said I could take out more loans. These loans will pay for my uninsured dental extravaganza. I would wait, but my tooth is hurting me. It’s a constant dull throb, with intermittent spikes of pain, especially when I swallow.
Getting my tooth pulled is the cheapest way to fix this problem, $209 to $358. I was told if I paid in cash, I could get 5 percent off. That’s kinda funny considering I was quoted a range. Saving the tooth would be too expensive. First, I would need a root canal and some bone restructuring. That would cost $1990. Second, I would need a Buildup and Crown. that would cost $1224. Third, I have other teeth that need fixin’. That summation would cost as much as another crown.
I would prefer to have all my teeth, but I will do what I must. In the future, I will get an implant. It will cost more than the crown would have. Perhaps by then, I will be comfortable enough to visit Mexico for a dental appointment.
