I’ve never been to the dentist in my life. I’ve got a cavity I want to take care of, but I really don’t know where to start. I mean, I found a dental place near home, but I just simply don’t know what to ask or look for. Ex: fees, do I need to make an appointment, etc. One main thing I’m worried about is not having insurance and possibly being denied treatment.

I have chronic, painful dental problems. In the last 8 years alone I’ve had at least 50 fillings, 4 extractions, 2 caps, 8 root canals and I’m still in an immense amount of pain. I’m in severe debt because I have had to charge these treatments which have amounted to more than ,000 in just the last 2 years alone. I have begged dentists to simply remove my teeth but almost all insisted that they could and should be "saved". I’m 27 years old and still have a lifetime of this ahead of me. ALL of my root canals are painful, after last years procedures, leaving me with a whole side of my mouth I can’t use. Is it really that crazy to ask to have these teeth removed? I can’t find relief– medically and especially not financially. I can no longer afford to have anything done to my teeth and am hoping that someone can help with advice.

Interested in learning how to transition into a dental treatment coordinator? If anyone has useful information , thank you

I am living in Norway, Is there any way to get the money (atleast some part) which i spent for my dental treatment in Norway?

does orthodontic treatment with extraction bring about difficulties in breathing?

I’m an Iraq war veteran and the VA is refusing to continue a routine (but expensive) dental treatment which began while in the military. I cannot afford a dental plan and I do not qualify for Medi-Cal (California’s single-payer health care for the poor). I’m willing to go to Canada to get this done.

Anyone have any resources on how I can get this done through Canada’s Medicare?

Dental treatment forms or templates I can use in making records of patient’s treatment every visit in the clinic.

My daughter is 4 years old and been doing teeth cleaning and check up regularly since she was one year old. She is not afraid of the dentist. Unfortunately we were not able to visit the dentist for half a year and she developed 2 big cavities on her upper back teeth that needs to be treated. She is happy going to the dentist and will sit on the dental chair on her own. She will open her mouth but wont let anything put inside it. The dentist tried to convince her for about 30 minutes- no crying , she enjoyed sitting on the dental chair, she told the dentist that she will have her teeth treated when she turned 5 yrs old- the dentist gave up and told me to make another appointment .

We tried to convince her that the procedure does not hurt, the dentist will just brush out the bad cavity. Her sister- 5 yrs old- who went the same treatment even testified that the water used for gargling is grape flavor and it doesnt hurt.
And I bribed her that if she will let the dentist treat her teeth- I would buy her a bike. I am thinking of holding a fake birthday party so she will be 5- then we can have her teeth treated. For the last few days , I have been talking about this teeth treatment in preparation for the next dental appointment , and she said she does not want to hear anything about it anymore. I fear that she might develop fear of the dentist so I stopped. We have the next dental appointment tomorrow. Any suggestion please?

I have had an HC3 for a while and I now have a medical exemption card as well. The little leaflet says that if you have an HC3 and a medical exemption card you may get dental treatment free but I’m not sure that I’ve understood it correctly. Does the medical exemption card change the function of the HC3?
