I have a two and a half year old son who needs alot of caps and crowns on his teeth and even with dental insurance it will still cost close to 3000.00 to get his teeth fixed. The dentist my insurance company covers will not offer any payment plans, she wants all the money up front. And I can’t afford this huge amount all at once. But I need to get his teeth fixed soon.

does any know where you can buy good individual dental insurance.?

I don’t have much money and I’m in pain with a killer toothache. I ‘m in college and work part time so money is an issue right now.

I am currently "shopping" for dental insurance. I am very confused right now. I don’t know if a dental work discount plan, or full coverage is better. It doesn’t seem like a discount plan would cover what I need done (major stuff like tooth removal and root canal) but it seems like with a full coverage plan I would have to pay a lot, which I can’t really do.

Can anyone explain some pros and cons? What is a deductible..what does that mean? Do I have to pay it on top of a monthly payment for full coverage?

Any type of help will be appreciated! Thanks!

I’ve never even had a cavity before but my tooth hurts when i bite down and I’m pretty sure it’s a cavity. I have a great new dental plan but it doesn’t go into affect for another whole month. What should I do? Should I pay the whole amount for the cavity filling or whatever…or should I tough it out? I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to get them taken care of or they get a lot worse, right?

I had root canals a while back…the teeth turned dark and just a month ago I had temp crowns put in. Well last week I went in for the permanent crowns, and have to say I am extremely disappointed. Not only can you still see the darkness of the tooth…but they are not the same size as they were [which can be somewhat understandable] BUT he also trimmed down the other teeth to make room for them!! So two of my teeth [symmetrical teeth} are now way different shapes and it is toooooo noticable. Can they not trim crowns? Everytime I start thinking about this I get mad as hell. I just want to know if anyone else has had these procedures and how they turned out? Can I get this fixed? Can I get some kind of discount? Gaaah!

I am thinking about getting braces (preferably Invisalign) and I don’t have any insurance at all. I’ve been doing research and haven’t found anything reasonable. I am looking for a good dental or orthodontic insurance plan that will cover or give a good discount on braces and/or dental work. Any information that you can give me will be helpful. Thanks!!!

i live in houston,texas if that helps

I just signed up for Avai dental plan and on the member card it says This is not insurance. It is a reduced fee plan. That scared the heck out of me.

Does that mean I need to PURCHASE insurance first in order to use this reduced fee plan?? PLEASE HELP!!

i don’t have dental insurance, I was wondering what kind of discount they would offer if i was to pay cash.??

What has the best prices and best coverage? No paper work hassle. Family plans.

I need braces and i want clear ones because im worried that my appearance will change too much. And everyone thinks thats i should get metal instead. Whats are some bad things about clear braces?

Also (weird questions) can you drink milk with clear braces? If not what about soy milk?

thanks

Yes I’m supposed to get braces soon. I have an overbite and a crossbite on my two top teeth.

I am healthy, don’t have any pre-existing conditions and only need the most basic/inexpensive solution.
