I was never taught good brushing habits as a child, that combined with being in the hospital for an immune disease in and out for several years I did not brush properly, getting out of bed to go brush my teeth was too much work, I was bedriddened and couldn't bother with it. I obviously severely regret it now.
I first tried root canal treatment on the affected teeth and every single one failed. It looks like the only option if I want to have a tooth there is extraction+implant.
The two molars on both the bottom right and bottom left need to be pulled (not going to bother with implants since they are out of sight. 4 of the first pre-molars also need to be pulled which I would "like" implants put there if possible.
I wish I had some savings I could put towards this, but I have crohns disease and between all the hospital visits and surgeries I am drained financially not to mention I make a poor hourly wage. I'm currently in school working on a computer programming degree (3rd year) but something has to be done now, I don't care what it is but it's too painful to leave alone.
Is there anyway I could finance this? I have a decent credit score (750), but that's about all I have going for me. I know dental schools around me don't do implants....and traveling abroad....I've heard way too many horror stories.
I got approved for care credit for 8k, but honestly the 27% apr scares the shit out of me. I have some "pre-approved" loans for 16% apr on credit karma for around 10k, not sure that would be enough for it but it's a start....
Anyways any suggestions on what I can do without ruining myself financially? I've sick of being on oxycodone 24/7 just to help deal with the pain, I just want my life back.
Thanks for reading.
tldr; need lots of dental work done, won't want to ruin myself financially. Best way to approach?
