Dental question.

Date: Dec 8, 2012

You pay good money for the insurance..use it!

Date: Dec 8, 2012

Why are you even bothering to ask? Go to your dentist, now. An infected tooth can be dangerous.

Date: Dec 8, 2012

Okay I will go asap, but the weekend has started and it will be Monday before I go. I know it can be serious and everybody please pray for me! I heard of a actor that used to play in a tv series called Angel that passed away from a tooth infection that got into his blood stream and killed him. This is impacted under my gum so they will probably send me to a specialist.

Go to the dentist, or urgent care and get some antibiotics. You don't want a tooth infection, that isn't a good thing at all to let it get out of hand!

People have actually died from this. It's called pericarditis, or infection of the heart. Look it up, you'll see I'm right.

You could also lose your other teeth from an infection in one tooth. Hurry up and make that appointment, if you haven't already!

How do we get insurance

Date: Dec 9, 2012

In my area I think the wait is 9mo, perhaps a year before insurance is available to hourly employees.

Date: Dec 9, 2012

I defintely will do it tommorow morning when I get off from work, I'm tired of putting it off, and now I have to do it for sure.

Instead of waiting to go to the dentist's office tomorrow to setup an appointment, I went to their website and requested for a appointment ASAP!!!

You've been at Kroger for over 2 years, IIRC, and you're (supposedly) an ASCM yet you don't know how to get insurance? Open enrollment is over with in our division (Cincy/Dayton), so I assume it is for yours also...asking doesn't cost a thing, man. Read postings, go to your unions website. Figure it out.

Lol, I didn't want to be mean but I was thinking the same thing.

If the ASCM's of the stores don't know how to get insurance then no wonder all the stores have so many problems. It would explain a lot. :P

I'll be mean for you. LOL

It was a dumb question, from someone who acts like they have all the answers.

Our ASCM's are not this clueless. Thank God.

Ha-ha! No, it?s completely okay to ask such type of questions after a dental appointment. But it is better to ask your dentist that time only. I clear all my doubts from my dentist Redondo Beach then and there only. Because he is the only right person who will clarify your doubts.
