I have recently graduated from Dental School. I am looking for a job as an Associate with a dental office/group. I want to start my own private practice within one year. HOW should I proceed? WHAT do i need to know? WHERE should i consider locating?
Does anyone know of any ASSOCIATE positions leading to a buy-in in the Houston’s NW or W or SW area?

My husband hasn’t been to a dentist since he was 12 or 13 and he is now 22. I would like to take him to the dentist to have his teeth checked and cleaned with the possibility of fillings and of course he’ll need X-rays. I was wondering what the average cost of dental care is if you would go to a dental school program? We live in West Virginia and are looking to go to the WVU School of Dentistry. We also do not have any health insurance. Thanks for your help.

I have no dental insurance, need to have some teeth pulled, including wisdom teeth. Hoping there is a Dental school nearby that offers free/low cost care.

I live in Austin, and have a terrible toothache. I don’t have dental insurance, and can not get approved for Care Credit. Does anyone know of a dentist in Austin who will work out a payment plan with me? Or of a dental school who does the work for cheaper? Any help is very useful!!
Thanks!!

I need to determine what type of writing dentists have to do, and what type of writing dental students have to do in dental school.

Dental office who do payment plans in Austin?

I am going to need quite a bit of work done since I am terrified of the dentist and haven’t been in about 8 years. I know I will need many fillings and at least one crown…and probably more stuff.

I am probably going to go to the UCSF dental school clinic were they say they charge about half of what a private dentist’s office will charge. They also way that they accept most dental insurance.
I was thinking about getting Delta Dental or something like that before, but is it worth it to get dental insurance if the dental school prices are already discounted?
And what is the difference between a dental discount plan and dental insurance?

Has anyone had work done at the UCSF dental school clinic?
Will they sedate you if you ask? (I’m scared!)

Sorry for so many questions.
I’ve never had to do this before…I’m so confused!

I had a baaaaaaad bad a$$ molar ripped right outta my skull Friday.
Its healing beautifully actually. In the near-far future [within the next yr.] I’m shooting for an implant. I ASSUME going to a nearby dental school would offer fees atleast half price.

I LIVE IN THE NEW YORK AREA. [1.5 hrs. from Manhattan]

PLEASE don’t mentioned other countries or Costa Rica. By the time I pay for hotels, airfare,ect. I may as well pay full price here in the states. … besides when go to CR, just plan to chill on the beach and toss popcorn at the toucans and monkeys.
Thanx
besides who wants to worry abt a sore mouth when they are on vacation?
lol {laughing on one side}

anyway, I really don’t want to be concerned w/a sore mouth on a trip like that.

I need a lot of work done to my teeth. The two reasons I’ve waited as long as I have is because I had very bad experiences with the dental school when I was younger - and I haven’t been able to afford it. Can anyone tell me what kind of discount most dentists give to their employees? I’m looking for a job right now and would consider working for a dentist if the discount on my work is worth it.

I live in northeast wisconsin, near green bay. I have dentures already, but they do not fit right and haven’t since i got them. The dentist that did my dentures for me, gave up and told me that i should be able to find a dental school that offers free or severely discounted services. I have tried everything i can think of, including emailing local dentists, but have received no responses.

I know there is a Dental School, maybe Brown, not sure….
But I’ve heard you can get really inexpensive dental treatment from the students studying at dental school.

Does anyone know specifically where this is?
Is there a website? Phone number?
In Rhode Island or Massachusetts?

Thanks
Not looking for an insurance plan!
Thanks

I have heard of people getting discounted dental care if they go to some sort of dental school and let the students do the service

I know it is very important to medical schools, but what about Dental schools? Or is shadowing and clinical experience more important?

Is it possible to get into Dental school without undergraduate research?

Say I get a new dental care package. What does it typically cover? Could I get a policy and immediately use it for fillings. What is the cheapest dental coverage out there that covers fillings and cleanings? Is it economical and feasible to pick up a policy, carry it while you need it and then drop it?

Please tell me about your dental coverage experiences. Right now I went to a dental school, but I wanted to research my other option to make sure I’m making the right choice

How safe it is to go for dental treatment with dental student in dental school?I don’t have dental insurance and I am going to start dental treatment from next thursday.Is there any risk involved?I am older and close to 50 with High Blood pressure(Taking Diovan HCT everyday to control it)

Do dentists that participate in discount plans provide lower quality service to patient that use these plans?

I’m considering using one but I’m concerned about the service provided.

I’ve also considered a dental school, which is similar in price. Would this option be better? The school is 1 hour away from home so that is a bit of an inconvience.

Ok, here there is no dental school close to where I reside.BUT, there is a school for medical & dental assistants and technicians. Would it be safe to get work done at this kind of school?

I am a 23 year old student who cannot afford dental insurance. I have a bad tooth ache and am just afraid to go see just any dentist and pay out the ears. I live in Fullerton, CA and I cannot afford much. If anyone knows a way to find a dental clinic or dental school in the area that would help me out greatly.

I know a regular dental implant costs about 3200$ (total cost with crown) but I heard dental schools have cheaper prices.Anyone knows how much is it and are the students reliable?Do they perform under the supervision of an experienced dentist? Is there a dental school in Tampa?

i don't have any insurance and am unemployed at the time. i am in dire need of dental work but dont have any insurance and cant afford to pay out large chunks of cash at once. i dont have it to pay out. however, i am on the verge of several abcesses and am aware of the further complications they can cause. i am willing to pay over time if necessary but would rather find a dental school or discount lab or even an indigent dental clinic if that's what it takes. please help.

I have a cracked filling and a few possible cavities. I was wondering, A: Is there a dental school or some place like that that does cheap work? And B: If anyone knows a good place to get low-income dental insurance, that would be very helpful.
Thanks, all.

I need a root canal, crown, an extraction by a surgeon, and two fillings but I have absolutely no money to pay for them. The dentist that I see now wants $ 600 up front for a crown which is just ridiculous. So I cannot just be billed so I can pay a set amount each month. I went to a place in Atlantic City that helps those with low incomes but I did not like it at all and they want me to go to Philadelphia to a dental school for all of my work that needs to be done. I cannot travel that far and I was just wondering if there is anything in the area I could try. I do not think my regular dentist can help me and would probably charge me just to ask them a simple question.

I'm under the age of 18 and my parents have horrible dental insurance. Their dental insurance covers less than 10%. I need to find a place that has rather cheap dental work, but not at a dental school. (I need a lot of work done). Thanks.
