I live in Central Valley Ca and I have no dental insurance I cant afford any dental plans I desperately need dental work done, my front tooth is missing. I am 24 and I don’t smile that much and don’t talk to a lot of people because I am insecure about my mouth. Does anyone know where I can get low cost dental work done in close to where I live?

I need to see a dentist about a toothache I’ve had since December. I lost my job and benefits last September. I can’t afford to pay a dentist cash. I do have a small reserve, though, and want to know if the discount dental plans out there really help to save money? I don’t want to get insurance because the premium will be more expensive than just walking into a dentist’s office and paying cash.

I am currently out of work with no dental insurance. I am seeking other options for my dental care since I have been feeling a bit of sensitivity in two of my molars. These molars have fillings already and I was told I may need a crown. I looked into dental plans, but I am not sure if they are reputable plans to "buy". Also, is it worth it? Plans I have looked at are dental plans by Aetna, Delta Dental, etc. If I need a crown for example, it says I will pay a copay of 400 and above depending on treatments. My question is, is a dental plan something I should be looking into or are there other options

I have done some research and have decided againt Ameriplan and am leaning towards AVIA, Careington Care, or Unicare. Does anyone have these Dental plans and used and are they good or another legitimate dental care plan that is good?

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 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!

I have been looking at High and Standard Option Dental Plans. (I work for the federal government). These plans seem to pay about the same for pretty much the dental procedures. Am I missing something? Whats the difference between a high and standard option plan?

I’m in desperate need of dental help

Hi all,
I’m getting braces on May 16th and i have to have a current cleaning before they can put them on, well i’m in new state so i have to go to a new dentist.
How much will a new patient Exam and Cleaning cost me? Excluding insurance or dental plans.
Normally this wouldn’t be a concern as i care for my oral health, it’s just that i already had to put alot of money down for the braces and ortho x-rays so i don’t have that much more in savings to throw around at the moment on my teeth as i have other bills to take care of.
Also i’m just getting braces on the top teeth and i’ve only notice one small problem with one tooth on bottom, will they make me fix the problem before they allow me to have the braces even though it’s on the bottom?
I’ll fix the problem a month later when i get caught up financially.
The one tooth is a tooth restoration needed i was told, but nothing else except light scaling needing to be done.
Thank you in advance for all you give advice

Just got hired on as a residential driver with Waste Management and start soon. What I need to know is: what insurance companies does Waste Management use for their health and dental plans? Are they very good plans, or not? I haven’t gotten a straight answer anywhere else on the net, so this seems to be a forum of knowledgable individuals.

Are there any dental plans, where you can join and make an immediate claim? I need some work done but cannot afford the cost. All the plans i have seen say you cannot make a claim in the first three months.

I do not have dental insurance, and two of my wisdom teeth are comming in. I have a limited amount of money to put towards a dental plan and the cost of the surgery. Does anyone have one of those low cost dental plans they have advertised online? They sound good, but you know some things are just too good to be true. I just need to do something before the pain becomes unbarable.

Does anyone know of any good dental plans? I have healthcare with my employer but dental is excluded. Please help!
I live in Louisiana.

is thera any dental plans which really savemoney

Are there any Dental plans for US citizens abroad ..specifically Germany

Just a quick general knowledge question. Someone at work here is questioning our dental plan becuase she needs a root canal. I personally rarely use the health or dental coverage. I was under the impression that most dental plans paid a percentage of the cost of dental work up to a predetermined out of pocket amount for the insured. For example, the insured may have to pay 60% of the cost of dental work during the year up to a total out of pocket expense of ,500, after that , all is covered. Someone else at work is saying it is the opposite. The insurance co. will pay their percentage up to a predetermined amount and then it’s all on the insured. How are most policies structured?

Ok this is the ?

I was wondering, is it possible to use 2 dental plans to cover the cost of braces? My moms dental plan covers 50% of the cost, and my dads dental plan covers 50% of the cost, the 2 plans are from different companies.

I live in Canada and I am 15 years old

If I can only use 1 plan, is there any other way to lower the cost of braces? I don’t think my parents can afford them right now, though im not sure.

I am a college student, and I currently do not have any form of dental insurance. I wanted to know if anyone knows of any affordable dental plans in Florida that I can possibly go on.

I’m looking to change dental plans from Dental Benefits Plus to Humana One Dental. Is Humana’s Dental plan any good? or is it just a discount plan?

I need dental insurance and I searched the internet and found several, but when I put in my dentist name they did not accept the insurance. I thought all dentist accept dental plans.

My dad has a couple teeth that need to be pulled and he needs dentures so bad. He is in horrible pain and can barely eat. His work does not offer dental insurance. I’ve looked for dental plans that regular ol’ hard working people can sign up for and I’m not finding much, they kinda look like a scam from what I’ve found. We live in Oregon - and of coarse because he actually has a job…theres nothing that oregon state health people can do. Which is kinda F’d up!!! They said if he wants help - he has to quit his job and apply for state assistance!!! I need suggestions on what to do - please!!!!

I just graduated college so my insurance dropped me. I don’t start my job until May. Working a crappy job right now with no benefits. I need a root canal and just wondering if dental plans are all they make out to be?

I am 26 years old and have had major problems with my teeth- stemming from problems as a child (medication,etc). My lower teeth can be saved with some money, but have been told that unless I can find ,000 I will have to have an upper denture placed. I have been crying for 3 weeks straight, and am terrified- I am only 26!!! I am also a student and have no income (possibility for a part time job-but that will not cover cost). I have buck front teeth,and crowding on the uppers, and will need numerous root canals,crowns, fillings, etc. Is there anything in Canada that can help me? I have see dental plans from the states, but live in Alberta, so need Canadian info. I have no support- parents want me to go with cheapest/quickest option and just get it done and over with- no amount of reminding them that I have to live with this the rest of my life means anything to them. I am at my wits end, please someone help me.
Can I get an upper denture now and save all my money and in a few years replace all my teeth with individual implants? I don’t want to take my teeth out (afraid of what that will do for dating, and relationships) and am terrified that they will be noticable. Are you loveable with dentures? Or is it to hard to deal with someone with "removable" teeth? I am so scared right now, and no one is offering me any advice or information except to just do it and deal with it. I know that it will give me a straight smile, something I haven’t had in 26 years, but it is still terrifying!! I can’t stop crying, and just want to give up- my dog is the only person who cares about me…… I have no way to get a loan to take out grand to save my teeth, and short of winning the lottery am in beig trouble…does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Payment plans in Canada? The dentists in the area I live will not take monthly payments….. Please somebody help me! I am so scared and alone.
