I need my teeth whitened in a week without whitening strips or dental work. What are some remedies I could do to get them whiter?
lol. i’m 13. don’t worry i will stay away from wine.
My dentist said he can’t actually treat me for TMJ until all other dental work is complete. I have 2 root canal, 2 fillings that are getting replaced due to me clenching my teeth, and 1 filling to add. THEN I can get treated :/ which sucks because I have no pain but the popping is very nerve wrecking ..
I need cosmetic, reconstructive dental work done on my teeth but I live in the US (New York) and it is horribly out of this world expensive, plus I don’t think the dentists are that good as I’ve been to a few supposedly good ones and didn’t have great experiences.
So I am thinking of taking 2-3 weeks off work to travel to another country for vacation/dental work. Where is the best place to go? What is the process? Do I contact some sort of agency in the US or do I just go to the specified country on my own and do my own planning, etc from scratch?
What is the best way?
Any input very much appreciated!
Yesterday I had 2 wisdom teeth pulled. The oral surgeon (resident) ordered a post-operative x-ray to see if any root was left.
I go to the dental school for my dental work. Most everyone is a student. A radiology student took the x-ray. I had to have 3 in all because the first 2 weren’t usable. During the first x-ray she forgot to put the apron on me.
Could a single dental x-ray w/o the apron cause in problems for me?
I have dental insurance but they only cover up to 1000.00 worth of treatment yearly. I am very close to maxing out and I have a lot of dental work left to do and my insurance does not roll over until next October. So I the question is… Are these dental savings plans through Aetna, Cigna..etc… worth the money? I would like to find one where I don’t have to pay up front and be refunded later… Any suggestions?
I’m currently on EI for illness (health troubles related to the pregnancy) and switching over to maternity leave within the next month. I’m going to need some dental work done soon but I don’t have any kind of dental plan or coverage, and I’m wondering if there is some way that employment insurance will cover the cost of that?
I’ve heard that ei covers dental work up to 0 yearly, but I don’t actually know if this is true or how to set that up so that I can go to the dentist, as I don’t have the money to pay for the work right now
Hello, today I went back to the dentist after a 4 year hiatus. What puzzles me is that on my dental work plan I have one tooth – an anterior – that needs two separate crowns!? Here is what I am going to be charged, "Root canal therapy anterior 0, Prefab post , Crown Porcelain/ceramic substr" 5, and then LAVA Crown 5" – again, my concern is this is all for the SAME TOOTH!? I did a Google search and asked a few friends if it is normal to require two separate crowns on one tooth. I am thinking this is a billing error, is this correct? When I called my Dentists’ office – they told me that that’s how insurance bills – but I don’t think that is correct. Any info appreciated, thanks, Jason
I had all my teeth root canaled and crowned back in 1994. They did such a horrible job all my upper teeth are gone and the bottom will soon follow. I am going to be living in Sao Paulo for a year and would like real world market prices for this kind of dental work there.
Ok so im 21 years old and i need dental coverage cant get one thru my work for another 6 months and need dental work before then. i was told 18 months ago that i need to get my wisdom teeth out real soon cuz if i let them grow in i will mess up my entire mouth cuz i dont have room for them and i already have one regular tooth grow in years ago that grew in all weird due to crowding any way i lost the insurance i had and never got my wisdom teeth pulled now ive had one grow in and i can feel another growing in so i need to get them out immiedately but its so hard to find a plan that doesnt have a waiting period for oral surgery so ive found one plan that doesnt and a discount plan and i just want to know which one i should get which one do you think would be cheaper..
I need to Get all 4 wisdom teeth removed and another tooth that grew in wierd due to crowding that is causing problems so i know this is alot of work to be done and aint gonna be cheap so heres the 2 plans details and please help me decide which one would be better for my situation THANKS!
Discount plan- .35 monthly copay no deductible and for oral surgery no waiting period 55% average savings and 25% discount on specialist services no deducible.
Dental insurance plan- monthly deductible annual max benefit 0 oral surgery no waiting period coinsurance 60%
So there are the two plans avail without a waiting period
Theres no annual max on the first..
About 8 years ago, I had a dentist drill into my mouth before the novocaine kicked in. Since then I have been terrified of the dentist. I need: 5-6 broken teeth in the back fixed / removed, I need 2 dental implants (or whatever) to plug in 2 teeth missing in the back of my visible smile. Cost is a big issue, and I have 2 things to help me. 1. insurance and 2. an FSA (flexible spending account) which is money taken out of my check each week which is put into an account that you can use for medical expenses as you wish (even cosmetic surgery.) I can use 00 a year. I am wondering about dental colleges- do they do dental work at a discount? What about dentists that cater to people who freak out? Could I just start over w/ dentures? I am new to Columbus and am so confused where to start. Are there medical counselors? The dentist who drilled into my mouth w/out novocaine is being sued by about 40 people for mistreatment and will lose his license, I’m sure. I’m not in the lawsuit.
