I have a partially erupted wisdom tooth (top right). It is coming in crooked. Basically, it looks like a horizontal impaction on the X-rays, but half of the tooth is exposed, as well. Right now, the side that is completely through the skin is rubbing my cheek and gums, making it very raw and painful. I have dental insurance, but my dentist will not remove teeth (any kind of teeth). She is refering me to an oral surgeon. I'm being told that my insurance may not cover this because it's considered a surgical procedure, and that I would need to use my health insurance for the surgery. I am trying to estimate the cost so we can prepare for it. Can anyone help me? Also, I won't be able to get in to see any of the oral surgeons in the area for almost a month. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to keep the tooth from rubbing my mouth so badly?
