Anybody know where i could get some affordable dental insurance ? Times are tough.

What does it have to be socialized medicine to make sure people have affordable healthcare? and dental care?

Why are people bent on painting the most evil picture on a thing that helps people?

I use to have dental coverage at a previous job but quit. Now i’m a self employed truck driver and have to provide my own insurance. I take care of my teeth the best I can but I have a few cavities that need to be taken care of. It’s effecting my self confidence to where I don’t even want to meet a girl, i know its a huge turnoff not having a great smile. Where can I go to find a good dental plan that is affordable?

I live in Arizona and I need reliable affordable health insurance for my fiance. I have never had to shop for health insurance before since I have Tri-care so I have no idea what I’m doing. His main thing is optical because things keep happening to his glasses and now he has none. Dental is important for him as well since he had some recent things done with his teeth that give him trouble now and then.

A little help?!? I have no idea where to start. I tried google but I do not know if I can trust many services out there.

Thanks for your help.

Hello. I recently graduated college and came off of my parents’ insurance. Unless I am able to go back on for a few years (thank you Obama) I’m going to be looking for my own insurance here soon. I’m currently looking for some quality dental insurance right now. I just moved to Indiana and would like to find something quick. Any help would be great. Thanks so much.

Please compare with respect to accessories ie. lenses(compatible), upgradability(eg. Nikon D 40), Image stabilizer need, Sensor shake need, durability, picture quality etc

I am a 17 year old female and i want to know what are some affordable insurance that include dental, eyes, and a regular doctor.

In need of a dentist who does partials and who can do a good job on fixing my teeth and who is very affordable, I have dental coverage but it only pays for 70% of the work. Need someone who is willing to work with me with a plan who can get all the work done in a short amount of time.

I asked this question earlier this month and the answers went into voting before I got a chance to thank the people who helped me with their replies. I wanted to let you know the outcome to my situation. To summarize my original question: My dentist stated I needed a porcelain crown that would cost 00. I asked if there were any alternatives, and he said no because the silver amalgam was leaking. My insurance would cover 0. The office manager said I should not delay too long to get the crown done or else I could end up needing a root canal.

I decided to look for more affordable dental treatments, and considered the dental school where the crown would cost 0. I asked for a copy of the x-rays, and the office manager at the dentist’s office seemed upset and asked me if I was going for a second opinion, and also didn’t want to give me the copy, but to directly send the x-rays to the second dentist. I told her I didn’t have a second dentist set up yet.
In the end, this is what happened: After I read all your responses, I felt better about the possibility of leaving my original dentist. I especially appreciated the yahoo answerer who said something was troubling about the way the front desk at my dentist’s office was upset when I asked for the x-rays. The friends and colleagues I spoke with in Boston believed that the 00 fee was too high. I called the dental insurance office and explained my situation to the insurance lady who took pity on my situation and told me she had two crowns done at the dental school. She provided the name of her crown specialist and also the name of the head manager of the dental school’s appointment office. She told me to call the head manager and ask her for an opinion on a great crown specialist, and to mention that I had talked to her.
The school’s mgr booked an appt for me w/ a specialist she liked.

The office that wanted to charge 00 called me to see what my status was. I said the dentist is a great person and doctor, and under different financial circumstances, I would do the crown there, but right now, I couldn’t afford his fee. The dentist’s office said I would be given a personal courtesy of 10%. I expressed my thanks + appreciation for the generous + kind offer, + stated that I already had an appt booked for a 2nd opinion.

Two days ago, I had the consultation at the school. She said she would not recommend a crown because the original amalgam + leakage was in a small area. A crown would require that a large portion of good tooth would be drilled whereas a white composite filling would preserve most of the tooth. An hour later, the tooth was done + the work was exquisite, looking much like crown work. Insurance covered 100%. So I thank the yahoo answerers for all your wisdom!
There are several lessons to my story for patients + doctors. For patients: if something doesn’t seem right, even if you have had the same doctor for years, don’t be afraid to change. I was worried sick for days about how I was going to pay for the crown. For dentists: at times, it doesn’t pay to charge very high fees or to push an expensive treatment when a more conservative plan would be ideal. If the dentist had charged a more reasonable price, I would have done the work there because life is simpler when one doesn’t have to look for a new dentist. In the end, I found out that the crown was not the ideal treatment for my tooth. I’m glad that I found out that my dentist was probably pushing the crown for higher profits. For people who are considering going to a dental school to get the work done, you must be willing to be patient. My crown specialist is a professor at the dental school and works only one day a week, so it can be hard to get an appt.
