d******i 发帖数: 4222 | 2 前几天牙齿突然剧痛,并且感觉到下面从中间数第3颗牙(29号)有松动,到看牙医。
牙医做过x-ray,没有蛀牙。说是下面有一个洞,导致细菌感染,原因说是可能是外力
导致
牙齿松动。有两种治疗方法:其一为拔掉那颗牙,其二为root canal。我看版上以往文
章提到千万不要随便拔掉自己的牙,这个会导致其他牙齿出问题。因此打算做根管,但
因为以前牙齿很好,国内从未看过牙医,家里人牙齿也很好,就没有买牙齿保险。打算
这个冬学期买了学校保险,再做根管。
先有问题如下:
一:牙医说一年内做问题都不大。但我看版上有文章说他root canal拖了3个月导致有
其他病症出现。如果真的很可能如此, 我就不打算省这比钱了,毕竟发病实在太痛苦
了。
二:没有做root canal前,如何注意口腔卫生,防止再感染。
三:root canal做后是不是一定要加crown, 我的是bicuspid tooth,牙医开的单子上
没有说要加crown。另外root canal therapy on bicuspid tooth, 630USD,这个价格
是否公道?
万分感谢。 |

1. 看牙保险给报销么?
参见具体policy。健康保险如无明文提到exception,一般可以认为不报。看病之前,自学一下保险手册的关键条款(有生命危险或疼得天昏地暗者除外)。
2. 看牙咋省钱?
有保险的考虑适当拖延。到下一年可以用新报销额度。
自费买dental insurance:一般premium几百/年,一年最多报销两千,外加
waiting period,所以不一定合算。临时报佛脚的情况就不要考虑了。
dental discount plan:在参加计划的诊所可以立刻打折。比如Aetna Advantage Dental。
收入确实低的,在本地找免费或low cost诊所。这些地方可能有eligibility要求,很多只提供有限服务。
去附近的dental school clinic,给学生做小白鼠。
自己跟牙医去讨价:前提是在看病以前讨,不要狮子大开口。
多问问题:有无非完善但廉价的其他治疗方案、哪步不一定做、是否去征求second opinion...
