My girlfriend needs her wisdom teeth out. The thing is, she only has health insurance and her employer doesn’t offer dental. How much would removing 4 wisdom teeth normally cost? (local anesthesia) Also are there any dental plans that would help her with this and give her basic coverage without gobbling her paycheck? She lives in MD so it would have to be available there.

I am trying to help a friend out who lives in South Carolina she needs dental care but I cant find any social service organizations to help her ,they denied her for Medicaid ,are there any more options in south Carolina to help a very low income person get dental care?

I tried to get some type of medical help but they told me I made too much and to try healthy Ny but… thing is they do not cover dental or vision. So I was wondering what health insurance would cover these things. I have been sick for a while and haven’t been able to see a doctor because of the insurance thing. Thank you for your help I greatly appreciate it.

does it hurt when ur getting ur braces in?
how about the day after?
im so nervous!!!!

where can i find affordable dental insurance in illinois?

I’m on my last year of college and have a HC2 certificate.

I went to a chiropractor today, and I get this vibe that there is scientology in practice there. I’m a little leery of groups that practice scientology. Is there a way to find out if that is what they are up to? They’re just really peculiar in the way they do things, and it seems all to familiar to a former dental group I know that practiced scientology. What are some signs or tip offs to look for?
Should I be concerned that they might be practicing scientology? Are they going to brainwash me into spending money?

I am looking for a good Dental Plan. Does anyone have a suggestion. I went to http://www.applynow1.com/dentalplans and it seems very reasonable and a great dental plan. What do you think? I am thinking about signing up. Thanks

I have my own little freelance job that I do for cash. I’m not married and not a student, so I find myself without any medical or dental coverage. I’m just looking for coverage for gynological care (once per year), maybe a regular check-up (once per year), and prescription coverage if possible. And, if I’m really lucky, I’d like dental to be able to have a cleaning every 6 months. I’ve tried looking online but I don’t know what or where most of the "insurance companies" are and if they are real or even trustworthy. I am not a registered business nor do I make loads of cash, but I do not want to go on welfare of any sort. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks!

If u you can please help me find something cheaper and or better with more benefits.

What do dentists put on people’s teeth, to make them whiter?
Thanks.

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

I am planning to get dentures and of course I am very nervous. I have a couple of questions: 1. I would like to know if anyone has gone to a place where they only do extractions and dentures same day. What was your experience? I am going to affordable dentures where they do it all in one long day. Input on this would be helpful. 2. how long did it take for you to get used to wearing your dentures, eating and speaking with the? I am taking a week off of work because my job is alot of talking? 3. Anyone with personal information feel free to reply. I want to go into this really knowing what to expect. I am VERY nervous and have been waiting a long time for it. Thanks alot! ♥
Oh yeah, i have to get all my teeth pulled and was wondering about how long you were in pain for. I am already in pain most days so this is just a sidenote ♥
Also, do they look realistic and did they try to slip out of your mouth alot?

Does anyone know of an affordable dental plan in NY area? Thanks!

Keeping in mind that I understand that dentists may charge different things, I’m just trying to see how much I’d have to pay if I didn’t opt for dental insurance. I usually go for a dental check up every 6 months.

For example, central and lateral incisors are crowded. Both have moved a significant amount, causing a change in the bite (can basically not use the front teeth to bite). In something so extreme, can health insurance cover the braces needed to repair?

I am an individual contractor and in need of a health and dental insurance. There are so many to choose from and I don’t know which ones I should be focusing on. Lower deductibles and higher copay better? What’s an ideal payment each month? 0? 0? I need help.

I was looking for dental insurance, not dental plans. And I was wondering who has the best coverage. Please help, I need a deep cleaning so bad!

After i had a replacement, left me with: cannot eat/drink/chew on my left side of all molars. Also with terrible pain especially cold, warm water, food and everything. Would that be they (dental group) ruined my root and nerves? Can someone help me? Can i sue them with justice, so that they can stop butcher patient with cold blood? Please help. Thanks

i am a stay at home mom. no health insurace for myself. i have had pain before and just dealt with it. but this pain is making it so i cant eat or drink anything and asprin doesnt help. what should i do? thank you for your answers!!

My two canine teeth pop out, and Ive already talked to my dentist and we’ve decided that its time for braces. After i scheduled an appointment with an ortho, about how long until the braces get put on?

I just went to a dentist a few weeks ago & I was miserable with him. I had the x-rays & the examination. I wanted my cavities filled.
He had zero personality so rather than go back, I just went to a new one today & scheduled an appt. for the morning. I explained that I have gone through & paid for the initial consultation with someone else. I will have to pay for another exam, but they are allowing me to bring my x-rays I have with me. Things is, I have no idea what this is going to cost me for 3 fillings. 0? 00? I just don’t know what to expect. Any help is appreciated.

There is a plan online that offers dental and even vision for a total of /month!! Is this real??

It is verified with the BBB under Liberty Insurance Brokerage.

So I’ve been researching dental insurance in my area. (S. Florida Metro - Ft. Lauderdale/Miami/Palm Beach)

I’ve received a quote from a dental HMO that provides the following;
Individual Premium per month - 11.95$
No Wating Period
No Plan Maximum
No Deductable.
As examples of coverage;
Cleanings are no charge.
Fillings for one surface are 25$ for composite fillings. Standard silver fillings are no charge.
Crowns run between 245$-300$
Endodontics/Root Canals run between 110$ and 345$
Periodontic services run between 110$ and 300$ for surgical services.
Non surgiacal periodontic services run between 38$ and 65$
Dentures and bridges are fairly priced between 300$ and 425$
Extractions run between 30$ and 100$
The only place they really get you is with orthodontics.

Now let’s look at a PPO.

Individual Coverage is between 30$ and 42$ a month for basically the same services between plans, with large waiting periods, tiny plan maximums, and really not that great of coverage.

(Cont.)
My boyfriend needs a 3 fillings and a root canal and possibly a crown in the future. They cover 50% of the root canal, which would stick us with a 500$ bill. They cover 50% of a crown, which would stick us with another 500$ bill and we’ve reached our plan maximum of 1,000$, which is the largest plan maximum I’ve found.

Am I basically paying an obscene amount and tiny maximums with a PPO to go to a larger network of dentists? What’s the difference? Why should I pick a PPO over a HMO?
When it comes to orthodontics, which may also be something we consider in the future, the PPO isn’t able to provide a significant advantage over a HMO. The HMO’s charge around 1,000$ flat for orthodontic treatment. PPO’s either don’t cover orthodontics at all or only pay 25%.

Can anyone shed any light on the differences and why they exist?
So basically, I’m correct in that all I’m paying for is a larger network of dentists? There’s plenty of HMO providers in the area which are accepting patients. There’s nearly a dozen within 5 miles of my home.
And by the way, idiots need not reply. Christ you people are stupid.
Could a dentist possibly imput their .02 on this issue? Why do you choose to go with a HMO network? Why do you choose to go with a PPO network?
Up until recently, I’ve shared the same feeling, that in general, PPO insurance is better than HMO insurance.

It seems to me like this applies only with health insurance. I still feel the same way, go with PPO for health. But with Dental insurance, there is an amazing discrepancy. I was SO blown away at the differences.

This is simply an individual dental coverage plan with no bearing on my medical insurance. I have Tricare/Humana through my father and United Healthcare through my office. United Healthcare’s dental is the PPO I outlined, and I actually have only a 750$ per calender year with my office’s dental plan, and they cover NO major dental work, not even extractions. That’s NOTHING.
