Is there any such thing as student dental insurance? I am not covered under my parent’s dental insurance and I do not get it offer though my work. Is there any way for me to get a low cost dental insurance while I am in college?
I do not have much extra money between work and paying my normal bills. I would like to have some minor dental work done cleaning and so on but I can not afford to go to the dentist without some help. Please advise.

What age should you add your child to your dental and vision insurance plan? I have a three year old, I taken her to see a vision doctor since you can have things go wrong with you eyes at any age but what about teeth? Is she not still to young since most dentist I call will not see kids until they are aroun five or six years of age.

My daughter is six and she had three cavities already. This is upsetting to me even though the dentist told me her baby teeth has poor tooth enamel and that is part of the reasons for the cavities.
I do watch her brush her teeth many times we brush our teeth together. Now I think it is time to teach her how to floss but I am not sure she is really getting it down. Is she still to young for flossing?

My ten year old son needed to have a filing on one of is back molars. Luckily it is a baby tooth. Which he should lose in a year or two any way. He has in the past other cavities in his baby teeth but nothing in his adult teeth.
How do I get him to take better care of his teeth. I think he may not be brushing good enough. I also have to remind him to floss which I believe he does do but only when I tell him.

I am looking for some good advise from anyone that my have a suggestions. My son has very bad teeth enamel on his baby teeth. He is seven and has all ready had five filling done. This is getting to be very costly. Even though I have dental insurance on him it does not pay out that much and I am having to pay the difference.
Anyone have any ideas how to slow him down from getting cavities. As it is now he is brushing three times a day and is using toothpaste that is suppose to help tooth enamel but I am not sure how much that is really working.

My neece has some rotten baby teeth. Her breath is really bad too. She is going to the dentist to have them pulled but she is only seven so it seems too soon to be pulling out teeth. Any helpful advise that can be given in order to make sure the rest of her teeth do not have to be pulled out. I think it is a lack of proper care but I feel I can not come out and say that.

My son is 10 and he does brush his teeth when I tell him to but not long enough and I am sure not good enough. I know this since so far he has had three cavities. Luckly they have been on his baby teeth. How do I get him to get better with his oral health care?

My daughter just broke part of her back molar off. I do not know what the heck she was chewing on but she managed to brake the back molar tooth were a whole corner come off. She is ten years old and she says she is not in any pain.
Should I wait it out since it is a baby tooth and I do not have the money to crown her tooth since I think that would be the only way to fix it. Or is there any place I can take her to where getting a crown will not cost me more money then I have?

I five months pregnant with a toothache that is really killing me. I went to the dentist to find out what is wrong and I was told I needed a root canal. I do not have dental insurance and just going to the dentist for what I did cost me a little over $100.00.
I can not afford a root canal and a crown done. I was quoted $1700.00 total for both. What can I do? I can not stay in this pain but I do not have $1700.00 either. Advise please

My daughter is 15 and I was told by her dentist that I may want to think about having her wisdom teeth removed. They are showing up in the x-rays but are not to the point that they are yet to come out. Her teeth are perfect right now.
The dentist said there is a chance that the wisdom’s teeth will start to push her other teeth out of alignment. What is the chance they will do this? The dentist tells me I have time to make up my mind but at the same time he said it better to do it sooner then later.
Would love to hear other advise. Do you always have to pull out teeth that have not even broken though the gum line yet

My son has to have four of his baby teeth pulled. His adult teeth do not have room since the baby teeth will not come out. Well I made an appointment for him to have this dental work done. What I would like to know is if my son will be in a lot of pain afterwords?
He will be asleep while he has the teeth pulled but will he be in pain when he wakes up? Should I only feed him really soft foods? Any additional information you may have would be good. Thanks

My son baby teeth are coming in. He has already seen the dentist about four month ago and everything was fine. It just more teeth have come out and they do not seem straight to me. Is this normal? Or should I take him back to the dentist. I do not want him to have crooked adult teeth and worried if his baby teeth are crooked will that cause issues to the adult teeth when they start to come in?

This may seem straight forward but you can avoid your children having dental decay by making sure they have the right brushing and flossing habits. The first step to dental care and good oral health comes from home.
Make sure your children are brushing and flossing correctly. That means brushing for at least two minutes two times a day. I suggest that if they have a full breakfast, lunch and dinner they should brush after every major meal. Your child should also learn how to floss. Flossing need s to be done once a day.
Now I am not one to say do not give sweets to kids because the fact is tooth decay can happen with any food item if good brushing habits are not in place. However it is a good idea try and avoid food that can be harmful to tooth enamel.. Food like sour candy, soda, even too many fruits with acids like oranges or orange juice can be harmful. Be mindful of these types of food as they can over time wear down tooth enamel that helps protect the tooth from decay.
And do not forget the importance of seeing your family dentist at least twice a year. Prevention is the key to keeping your dental cost low.

My son needs to have two fillings. So I thought at this point since the dentist wants to charge me over 250.00 for just two filing I would shop out getting him some dental insurance. However I have found out that there is more then just one price for a filling.
In order for me to know the true cost I am told that I would need to know the ADA code for the fillings my son needs. Where would I get that from? Someone most know them since two different dental company told me they could not quote a price without knowing the ADA code for the dental services. Please advise I do not want to buy anything without knowing what I getting from it.

My five year old does not really brush her teeth. She just plays around and acts like she is. I do not understand why she is like this. My seven year old son has no problems with brushing. The only time she brush for the full three mintues is when I am watching her.
I would think by five she should be able to brush without it be an issue every day two times a day. Do you have any helpful tips that I could try to maybe make her like brushing her teeth better?

My son is five month old and I think he may be already teething. This is both my husband and I first child, so we are not sure when a baby will normally start teething. Though I am also sure my son is teething.
Can a five month old be teething so soon? He has all the signs of teething. If so should I take him to see a dentist for his teething issues or his doctor? My husband says he is too young to see a dentist and I tend to agree with him. But my son is up all night and most of the day upset and cranky. Teething rings seem to big for him to handle yet. Advise please.

I have one son and two girls. Between my husband job and mine we make do good enough. However both our jobs only offer the health insurance and not dental. Due to this we have not had dental insurance for some time.
That is not to say that we do not go to the dentist only that we have been paying out of pocket for all dental services. I would now at this point like to get a family dental insurance plan that is not going to cost us more then $50.00 a month or so. Can you advise me on a low cost dental insurance plan?
