Let me start by saying I do not have kids nor am I pregnant I have no disabilities and I am not collecting any type of state aid.

I do live in So CA and I do have a terrible toothache.  I do work full time but do not get dental insurance though my job.  I live off a very fixed income and have no one helping me out on with my bills.   I am upset because dentist will not even help me out a little by giving me a payment plan.

What the heck is someone like me to do about getting affordable dental care when there seems to be no help in site.

We are a family of three and my son is only four.  My husband just got laid off about a month ago and prior to that they were cutting his hours back.  We do not have any extra money for anything let alone dental care.

I do not work but  I am looking for at least a part time job for right now.   We all need some dental work done I just do not know to what extent.   We are desperate.  I at least want my son to be able to see the dentist.  Where can I turn to for state aid out here in  West Virginia

You know how some people say their teeth are sensitive to  hot or cold foods or drinks.  Well that is sort of my problem only with sweets.  I do not eat a ton of sweets or anything but when I do my teeth kind of ache.  Not a lot and it does go away after a while but why is this the case?  Will using toothpaste for sensitive teeth stop this or should I be seeing a dentist over this.

I have two children and no dental insurance currently.  Right now I do not belive either of my children have any real teeth issues other then thier basic dental check ups that they need to have twice a year.

Since I do not have dental insurance I can only afford to take them to the dentist once a year.  I would like to do more but just do not have the money to do so.  A family friend told me that I could get dental insurance on line but I am not sure what I need to be looking for and what plan would be best for me to get.  How do I go about buying a low cost dental plan?

Okay so I am 14 years old and normally not a smoker.   However with a few of my friends I did have a few cigarettes over the past week.  Though I told them I will not be smoking any more because I do not see the fun in it.  So note I have not smoked in like two days.

I was just told by my mom that I will be going to the dentist for my check up tomorrow.  Will a dentist know that I tried smoking?  Will he say anything to my mom about it.  I am freaking out a little since someone told me you can tell that a person smokes by their teeth.   I found this website on my mom favorites so I though this would be a good place to ask about it.

I do not understand why there is seemly no priority made for adults dental care.  I can only seem to find low cost dental care plans for kids.  I do not think they do not need dental care, but so does adults.

How can adults take care of their kids if their own oral health needs can not be addressed.  I am on a very low very fixed income.  I had a toothache now for over three weeks with no one to help me.  Because I am an adult there are no programs for me to run to to get free dental care.   I have a one year old and finding it very hard to be a good mom when my tooth is killing me and my head is hurting.   I guess I am just very upset and tired of not getting any help.

My daughter just chipped her front tooth.  Not sure what to do about it.  She is seven so it is only a baby tooth.  I try to see if it was loose but it seems find to me other then a little chip in the corner.  I do not have dental insurance but that is not to much of an issue I am not sure if she really needs to see a dentist about this or not.

Dental Insurance – Dentures

There are plenty of dental insurance plans that will cover dentures, but you need to plan ahead. Many but not all dental insurance plans have waiting periods from 6-18 months.

As an example: Replacing teeth with dentures is classified as major dental services. The average benefit is 50% co-insurance for your dentures. Dentures are covered by some dental discounts dental plans. Remember discount dental plans are not insurance dental plan.

What happens when you get dentures?

Full or partial dentures replace your teeth when you have lost your natural teeth, from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury. They will help your appearance and your health including support for facial muscles sag which makes a person look older. Dentures normally take one month and 4-5 appointments which include the initial exam, wax bite impressions, and final denture adjustments.

How to take care of dentures?

Remove and brush your dentures with a tooth brush and denture cleanser designed for dentures. When the dentures are not used, soak the dentures in a denture cleaner solution or in water.

Should dentures be worn at bedtime?

Dentures should not be worn while sleeping to allow the gum tissue to rest and normal stimulation and cleaning by the tongue and saliva

I just got laid off about two months ago.   My son has a cavity at least I think it is a cavity since I can see a brown spot on his tooth that I can not brush off.  Do to the fact that I am currently out of work I have very little money.  Where can I get a cheap dental plan for my son so that I can afford to have his tooth fixed?

I am wondering around what age dose a child start to loose their baby teeth.  What should a child have all their adult teeth?  And do wisdom teeth always need to be pull? My son is only seven but I did not want to ask his dentist about this thinking he is too young still and I did not want to seem silly to the dentist.   However would like  to know so thanks for any information given .

I just notice that I had a broken top right wisdom tooth.  I got all my teeth and they never gave me any  problems.  However I notice when I was done eat that my wisdom tooth was very  sharped edged.  I think I cracked a part off without knowing it.

I do not have dental insurance so will it be cost to remove?  Will the dentist need to remove it?  I not sure what to do at this point.

I just had a baby girl three weeks ago.   I am wondering if I need to add her to my dental insuance now?  Or do I wait until she is a year old?  When dose a new born need to see a dentist?  I mean it not like they have any teeth for awhile.  This is my first child so I would like advise please.

I have a family of four and right now my husband does not get dental insurance though his job.  We have been paying for our dental needs out of pocket but the expense is getting higher each time one of us goes to see the dentist.

I talk things over with him and we are willing to get a family dental insurance plan if we can find one that makes sense.  We do not want to pay high monthly cost for dental insurance that goes over what we pay out of pocket for our dental needs.   Advise on a good plan needed.

I am a a disabled single dad of one boy who is eight years old.  I am currently on medicaid and I do collect SS but I do not have any coverages for dental services.  Right now we have little extra spending money and I do not want are oral health to be put off due to lack of money.

Is there any plans that I can get for the two of us that I have yet to fine?  Any where they get free dental services at least for my minor son?

For family dental insurance,  would only wife and kids be dependents?   Or could you also add extended family members that live with you?  My mom and 16 year old sister are living with me since my mom’s divorce.

They have no were else to go and I have been taking care of them both.  Could I not add them to my dental insurance?  They have some medical still but no dental so I am trying to help them out with that too.

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.

I have a family of six and we do not have dental insurance.  We use to but the plan we had cancelled when my husband changed jobs.  We can not afford much so we would like to know where we can get low cost dental insurance or low cost dental services.  Either right now would be fine.

I have three kids and I need to be able to take them to an affordable dentist.  The thing is I really do not have money to take three kids to the dentist at $200.00 each.  And that is just for the basic visit, X-rays and cleaning.  For sure if they needed anything more there would be no way to address those issues.

I am not sure what to do.  They are not have any teeth issue right now and I make sure the are brushing their teeth like they should but I feel bad that I can not afford to get them the proper dental care.

I need to get dental insurance and I live in PA would like to buy a PPO dental insurance plan in order to stay with our family dentist.   Our family dentist does not take any other dental insurance plans but PPOs.   I have been looking into PPO plans but they all seem to have long waiting periods.  Is this common or are there any PPO dental insurance plans without waiting periods?

I have two children and I am a single mom on a below poor income.   I do not like taking my kids to the dental clinic. For one they are not all that much cheeper and I can be sitting there all day without being seen.  Is there any dental insurance plans for low income family?  Something I get just get for my kids would be fine.
