My gf getting her wisdom teeth taken out was a super disheartening experience; the surgeon(s) she saw were super nice and did well but literally no insurance will cover it even thought it’s RECOMMENDED to get them taken out as preventative care.
Unless something very painful and dangerous is already happening most hospitals apparently won’t even take you seriously if you have state insurance and need your wisdom teeth covered.
They WONT EVEN FUCKING LET YOU GO INTO DEBT THEY JUST STRAIGHT UP SAY NO!!! For a 40 minute procedure that can literally save your whole jaw and all of your teeth!!! 3000$ later and she still couldn’t get one extracted because it’s inside of her other tooth… but that STILL ISN’T a good enough reason for it to be covered by insurance, I guess it literally needs to almost kill you or make you loose a few teeth and jaw bone before most practices would consider you eligible, and it still ain’t covered because somehow it’s considered “elective surgery “.
Sorry for the rant this shit is getting me heated again to think about lol anyways ya fuck the insurance industry most dentists to the gulags etc etc
