Behind Smiles: A Patient's Nightmare with MetLife Dental Insurance

Part 1: My Battle with MetLife Dental. The Toothache that Morphed into a Financial Migraine. My fateful journey through the MetLife Dental Insurance labyrinth began in February 2023 when an everyday occurrence turned into an exasperating ordeal. I needed a routine replacement crown on Tooth 18 and anticipated no issues, given my dental insurance with MetLife Dental. As I would soon discover,…

Pet insurance exists and is very helpful. Vets are some of the lowest paid doctors in the U.S. and clinics are struggling to afford equipment and pay a livable wage to the few employees they have. They're not trying to extort you; imagine if you went to the dentist without insurance and got a full cleaning plus teeth removal plus meds for less than $1000? It'd be a miracle. Vets don't want to charge so much, they and the rest of us in the industry are drowning :(

i wasn't talking about individuals. I was talking about companies, the whole building, the entire practice and industry. not the individual vets that work inside, i have no doubt that the individual veterinarians DO care an incredible amount and I'm sure that they do wish that they could be paid fair wages and do their job for free at the same time, because they went into it for the love of animals not the money. just because individual veterinarians aren't intentionally extorting sad or desperate people doesn't mean that the industry/business they work for isn't

#also dont even get me started on how extortionate and misleading pet insurance is #they dont cover 80% of stuff #also dental care shouldn't cost that much either nerfed argument #callieupdates

why does the dentist need to know if i'm lactose intolerant

#i mean i probably am a bit but they don't test for that anymore #also can someone be proud of me bc i filled a form so i can get a time with a dentist for a check up #going to the dentist is free until you turn 18 and then it costs (though it's way less expensive in public healthcare places than private)#and. yknow. ive been a student and our student healthcare didnt have dental until after my i think 1st or 2nd year at uni?#so. it's uh. been 5+ years since i've gotten my teeth checked out. which i KNOW is bad but im scared of dentists #not the dentist. i don't mind being there and having people probing my mouth and stuff. i like the feeling of a rubber glove in my mouth #it's kind of hot #until they bring out the drying thing. that thing sucks and makes me almost choke on my own saliva and thats not hot #anyways that's besides the point. im scared of the dentists themselves bc what if theyre mean to me.#my teeth are kinda yellow and i KNOW i have cavities and should floss more and stuff #also i havent gone there earlie bc i dont want them to take my wisdom teeth away. they're growing just fine but dentists love removing them #anyways let's hope i get a time before i graduate! i might not bc the student healthcare queues are ridiculous but yknow #ohh do u guys think they'll also make me go to a dental hygienist. i hope so! bc that's. well idk if i can call it fun but it's enjoyable #leevi talks

My shop is now live! :) Currently it's digital commissions only, any physical items will be added much later. Feel free to take advantage of the prices as they're now, as I'll have to raise them in May due to my living circumstances needing to change!

Here's some quick examples of what you can currently find in the shop:

Please consider reblogging if you can! This would help a lot to spread the word! :)

#online shop #decided to open it a little early because of so many looming expenses #not just the move itself and that I need to get a lot of furniture and stuff #also Bats needs a dental asap which will cost who knows how much after the recent raise in vet fees #and my savings keep dwindling </3 #so every help is much appreciated!#be it reblogs or actual purchases #time to get to workkkkkk!!#pet portrait #digital #commission #commissions #oc #not my oc

If I could have some prayers, please — I need emergency dental care

#personal #prayer request #it’s expensive 😭#also ladies make sure you get dental care while pregnant #because of cost I’ve neglected it #and also neglected it since I moved out of home #so yes this is my own fault #go to the dentist

#damn my teeth on my left side reallyyyyy fkn hurt #last night it started hurting so bad i couldnt fall asleep #i took some regular over the counter pain pills nd they brought down the pain a bit #so it at least didnt hurt as bad as it did first #but now after sleeping a few hours it still hurts ://#idk what to do... bc i've googled but it is like impossible for me to know what this is. could be anything rlly #nd w physical health stuff im not as terrified bc i can just go to the ER. when i was there it only cost $15 lol #but dental care is so fkn expensive i dont even have that in my account #anyway. i could get an 'urgent appointment' which i get financial aid for... probably. thats the thing. it's not 100% certain #idk what i should do bc like i could wait it out nd see if it'll pass nd then wait on my appt the 6th may #or maybe i should call my dentists nd ask them what they think nd if they can give me an urgent appt..#i hate calling tho. i know that sounds ridiculous esp when im dealing w pain but my avpd makes it so so hard for me. i'd almost rather not #if i was smart nd normal thats what i would do. just call them nd see what they decide for me. maybe i'll wait nd see nd call tmrw....#nd idk abt the pain. like it rlly hurts but it isnt extreme i think.. but when i press one tooth it hurts a lot nd makes me worried it's #dying 💀 nd like u can actually die from teeth pain nd complications... nd infections nd stuff. it's scary af 😭#idk if my tooth is dying nd i need to contact a dentist rn or if its smth that can wait for a bit #i mean if i had a job nd a salary i'd book an appt for tmrw nd get it checked but i have to discuss w myself bc i cant afford lol #ugh this is the reason im terrified of dental problems. the pain is awful nd theres nothing u can do if you're poor #my head keeps spinning idk what i should do abt this 😭 i csnt make up my mind. just want it to go away on its own but i know it wont #nd it hurts so that i can barely sleep or eat or concentrate. so i rlly dont know.....#oh if only things were easy

GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY IM BACK I HAVE ANSWERS so we looked at my teeth etc and I’m not gonna die of sepsis bc despite all the shit my toothache caused me there’s no infection. so what was it, Bronwyn? good question!

wisdom teeth

#LMFAO #my wisdom teeth are……… so poorly angled. 100% impact on all four #and the left one is tryna make moves so it’s swelling my gums which is raising my molar #and jacking up my bite while the tooth is sensitive in sensitive gums #¯\_(ツ)_/¯#so he suggested just. get rid of them. take the wisdom teeth out. all 4 bc of the possible impact from them #and if I didn’t I’d just periodically have this crazy ass pain come and go and come and go and fuck THAT so. removal it is #👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻#I have no idea what that’s gonna cost lmfao so we’ll…. we’ll see #and today basically the pain hasn’t been nearly as severe. the swelling has gone down significantly. so I think the pain/problem is #subsiding for a bit. I hope. lol. so they’re referring me to the dental hospital teehee #and then we did a clean of my teeth bc I have crazy plaque buildup and thus bacteria and thus making the issue worse. apparently. so #which isn’t a surprise. depression and adhd means I don’t brush my teeth as often as I should. and floss is scary #while doing that he seemed to have no problems with any of my fillings so I assume they’re fine atm too #all those side effects bc my wisdom tooth wants to play up…….. attention seeker #also between that molar and the gums where the wisdom tooth is. there’s a pocket. apparently. and stuff is getting stuck in there apparently #a pocket……. head in hands. and obviously that’s difficult to clean so that’s also bothering my gums and thus my tooth. GOD #ooc #anyways that’s the dentist update. tldr; I’m fucking fine it’s just wisdom teeth fucking it all up

I feel like at this point Rascal is kind of my cat but god I don't know how I'm gonna make this work out like. Financially and emotionally

#a sort of sunk cost value with how many trips to the vet have cost me with him insofar #but that sounds cold to say and definitely not my only factor in considering keeping him at this point #I think this sort of feeling is. Like. I want to make sure he's healthy as much as I can before he's adopted out #I need to give him a clean bill of health completely before he goes #But I know that's like ....... insane of me to think. Like. I know I've already done so much #All i can think about is like. He needs his dental work done. He needs his blood paneled so they know what to expect #But if I knew he was going to a very generous loving home I wouldn't worry so much. I just like would have to be sure

at 27 years old i thought the struggle with wisdom teeth would’ve been over but no there's still 1 stubborn motherfucker poking through my gum. go on then do your thing

#i knew i shouldve taken care of this before i left brasil #no clue how much it costs to get it removed here but at home it would’ve been included in my dental insurance #that was like R$60 or about €12 a month💀
