    Long story short, need a few more teeth yanked out. My question is about the recovery. if I had a prescription would I get in trouble for strong pain killers or would I need to ask for non narcotic stuff? thanks in advance

    I had some pulled and got the codiene pain pills, my safety dept said on the phone not to take any 24 hours before I drove.
    But I didn't get tested or in an accident to know for sure.
    Dental insurance is more of a scam, just pay cash for the pullings
     
    Rusty Trawler and Boattlebot Thank this.

    Yea I know from the last insurence I had. it was still nice only paying a 20$ copay for a yank tho vs 300ish out of pocket.

    Got 2 more teeth that need out and I should be good to go. I learned the hard way to brush my #### teeth lol

    Well... I'm an amateur dental surgeon. If you're in the Northeast we can meet. All you have to do is upset me; I'll extract the teeth for free....... I can't guarantee it'll be those causing you trouble..... but some will come out.
    It's an option. A ####ty option, but an option.

    I've had a few of my Choppers yanked out in the past if you don't have insurance there are dental schools at some of the colleges that you can go to so the students can get practice can you pay out of pocket and when I had to do that if I remember correctly it was like $25 a tooth as far as the painkillers you should be able to talk to your dentist or a dentist and they do make a non-addictive painkiller I can't recall the name offhand it's been years but your dentist should know what they can offer I had a job that did random tests pretty regularly and I didn't want to test dirty so I explained this to my dentist and he gave me a painkiller that was not an opiate but looking to the dental school that's probably your best bet if you don't have insurance is that I can tell you from my insurance bill the last time I went to my dentist to have one of my teeth pulled and it was like $280 yeah Dental School would be the way to go
