I'm concerned about offending co-workers; I've told my boss and she's agreed to tell me if anyone complains. I just don't want it to happen; I'd be so embarrassed. I've been out of work for a long time, have no dental insurance, and am saving money up to get it fixed. But, it's going to take time.

A bad tooth can absolutely cause bad breath. Even one decayed tooth can make your breath smell. Decay in the tooth is infection which thrives off of bacteria. Any infection in the mouth whether it be tooth or gums can make your breath smell. While the tooth may not be the only offender, it def. can contribute. If you are not taking care of your teeth properly Eg. brushing everyday, flossing everyday, and brushing your tongue than this can also cause bad breath. If you have any sinus or breathing trouble this can also cause a nasty case of bad breath. Try gargling several times a day with Listerine. Also don't suck on or chew gum that contains sugar thinking that his will help your breath, it may short-term however it is bad for your tooth that is already decayed. If you have to have gum or candy make sure it is sugar free. Orbit is a great long lasting gum that is sugar free. I am addicted to it. Until you can get this tooth, and all of your teeth checked, try to keep your mouth as clean as possible.

I would suggest Simply White toothpaste and use the whitening mouth rinse (I use the generic walmart instead of listerine). This was able to get years of nicotine and coffee off. They aren't perfect but there not too bad. If this doesn't work for you after a month or two, talk to your regular dentist or hygenist and see what he thinks. Depending on how straight your teeth are, he may recommend whitening strips or even a chemical procedure done in a clinic. He'll now what would work best with what you got and a lot of the time reps will drop of free stuff to him so he may even have some boxes of things to get you started.

What steps do you need to take to not get financially screwed by your dentist?
I have visited over 3 dentists in the past year and have had the same problem. I went to dentist to get a cap put back on. They focused more on the X-rays and cleaning. I ask for a quote for the cleaning and they said $150 was my portion and the insurance would cover the rest. Instead I got a bill for $600 and they said on the bill that the insurance company did not cover the service. I was specific and said I do not want any work unless it is covered by insurance or I was given an upfront quote I would first have to approve. Why does this keep happening? Are there laws? I have great dental insurance and I am not sure why every visit requires so much cash and why can't dentists give exact estimates? Some are even requiring up front payment. I want my teeth worked on and yet I do not feel comfortable visiting a doctor that ends up screwing me financially. Any steps I can take?
--------------------
I am going to answer your question about dentists not being able to give exact quotes exactly. The reason why we can't is because we have no control over what an insurance company pays, or even if they will pay for a procedure. Most offices, whether they are PPO or not, get what is called a breakdown of benefits. This means that we get general information from the insurance company, regarding the percentages they cover, such as 100% of preventative, 80% of basic, and 50% of major. We also try to get them to tell us of any provisions or limitations with the plan, such as not covering major work for one year or only remaking crowns every 5 years. Insurance companies will tell you over the phone that quotes of benefits are not a guarantee of payment, basically this covers them so that they can not be held responsible if they say "We will cover 50% of any crown you do for this patient." Most insurance companies will not tell a dentist office exactly what they will pay on a procedure. All insurance companies have what they call "resonable and customary fees." Basically what this means, is that the insurance company chooses a fee for a procedure based on what they feel it is worth. They are not concerned with whether or not this dentist uses the best or the cheapest labs or material, the highest trained staff or any of that. The percentages that they quote are based on these resonable and customary fees. For example: If an insurance company sets a fee for a simple cleaning at $50 and they pay 100% of resonable and customary, they will pay the office $50 for the cleaning. If the dentists actual charge is $70, there are two ways this is dealt with. If he is PPO, or another way of saying it is in-network, he is required to adjust his fee to what the insurance company sets. If he is out of network, he doesn't have to adjust it, and the patient is responsible for the additional $20 not covered by their insurance. The same goes for any procedure that a dentist does. The uncovered fee is obviously higher depending on the procedure that is done. So for an out of network dentist, the patient would not only pay their copay, they would also have to pay the difference between the reasonable and customary fee and the dentists actual charge. Insurance companies also take into consideration whether or not they feel that the patient really needed a procedure done. They don't care that their dentist says the patient needs it, they have their own "dental claims experts" who decide that. Most of the time these "experts" are either dentists who have lost their license to practive dentistry, dental assistants with at least 7 years experience, or retired dentists. Just because an insurance company tells a dentist that they cover, oh lets say 50% of a crown, their so called experts have to determine if it was really necessary to do the crown, And if they decide not, they don't pay. The same goes for any procedure. There is no way for a dentist office to know without a doubt whether or not an insurance company will cover a procedure, until they submit x-rays, proper documentation, and these "experts" review the claim. They base their copays off of these percentages they get from the insurance company, then they submit a claim, provide x-rays and documentation, and then simply wait for the insurance to pay. If the insurance company says "No, we don't think the patient needed this. We arn't going to pay.", then the dentist is legally allowed to expect the person who recieved the benefits of their services to pay the bill. Meaning you, the patient. The only way to try to get around this, is to submit a pre-treatment estimate. This tells the insurance company what the dentist plans to do, and then they treat it like they would treat it if it were an actual claim, other than to actually send a check. The insurance companies will still tell you that this pre-treatment estimate is still not a guarantee of payment. So basically what I am telling you, is that there is no way for a dentist to be able to know without a doubt how much or if an insurance company will pay for a procedure. They don't control the insurance companies unfortunatly. From what you have said, I am assuming that you had a deep cleaning done. Otherwise, a simple cleaning would not have cost over $700.00. Most likely what happened was that the dentist based your copay off of the percentage of what the insurance company said they covered on basic procedures, and then once the insurance company got the claim, they denied it for who konw what reason. That is not the dentists fault, as there was absolutely no way for them to predict what the insurance company would say. I know this might be hard for you to understand and might seem unfair, but trust me, I have worked in the dental field for 10 years, I am a registered dental assistant, and have dealt with insurance for those 10 yrs. This is unfortunatly the way it is with insurance companies. Edit: Since I noticed that I got two thumbs downs for my answer, I wanted to just add that my answer was not in any way based on my own personal opinion. It is a factual answer. I don't set the rules that an insurance company makes, however I do understand the rules that they set and was simply trying to explain those rules to you or anyone else who might be confused with insurance plans. If anyone would care to look back at the answers given by the other dental professionals, they will notice that even though they didn't give as much detail about insurance as I did, their answers were basically saying the same thing that I did.

How much does a cavity filling cost?
I know that the white kind is more expensive than the silver. I'm in San Antonio TX if that helps for pricing. I have no insurance so I'm trying to see what I would pay out of pocket or if it will be worth it to check into dental insurance. Also, if anyone knows where I can have dental students do it cheaper or where to find that information, that would be useful too.

dental x-ray costed me $135 (no insurance) !! is that normal?
They started with some new x-ray which has less radiation, but when they inserted the 1st strip in my mouth, I could'nt take the pain and it bruised my soft palate. So they did 6 B.W.X and rest x-ray was done with something that moved around my head, I guess its called digital x-ray. They charged me $135. Is this the normal price?
--------------------
Yes, thats about right. You could always go have a cleaning and x-rays taken at a school that teaches dental hygiene, if there is one that is close enough to where you live. It's worth looking into. At my school we charge $20 for just x-rays and then only $5 for a cleaning, if you were to have them done on different days, and $25 for a cleaning and x-rays at the same appointment.

Why doesn't Canada use surplus to start a national dental care plan?
Canada had a huge surplus in money this year, why doesn't it start a new dental care plan so that everyone can have dental coverage without having to pay *** loads of money themselves or to insurance companies? It's stupid because so many sicknesses and diseases are linked to dental hygiene and maintenance, why wouldn't they implement dental care as a preventative sickness measure to help us Canadians maintain good health? This outrages me so much.

Where can I go in Orlando, Florida to have a couple of tooth extractions done for cheap?
I have dental insurance, but the remaining cost is still somewhat expensive. I tried applying for the care credit card and that didnt work. I really need this done and even with my insurance I cannot afford it. Unless my dentist is trying to screw me, how much does a tooth extraction usually cost?
--------------------
Try going to a College or University that teaches dental to students. Where I live the students learn on you for a cheaper price but are very supervised by their professors. Good Luck.

How much would the cost of teen invisalign be about each month or every visit?
Also, what is a good dental insurance that covers braces. I have slightly overcrowded teeth and i'm 16. My parents don't have money to pay for it and i was just wondering if it was possible for me to pay it on my own if we switched insurances. I would loveee to have straight teeth. So ifyou could give me a few estimates it would be greatly appreciated :)

As far as my knowing,it is a question with various answers,it is definitely depending on the your mind ,providing a great resource here http://www.HealthInsuranceFree.info for reference though.

How much does it cost to have one adult tooth pulled with aneshetic?
I need a root canal and It will cost me $500 for it plus an additional $550 for the crown. I do NOT have dental insurance. I was told from a friend of mine to just have it pulled-but I want to be asleep like I was for my wisdom teeth. I don't want to hear any tooth being pulled out. (My parents had insurance to cover my wisdom teeth when I was 18.)
--------------------
You need to call up an Oral Surgent in your area to check the fee. The doctor I refer my patient to charge one basic fee for general anesthesia for the 1st 30 min and after that every 15 min. I would still encourage you to save the tooth. But check with your dentist the prognosis of the tooth if you are going to have root canal done with a cap. Try to arrange a payment plan too with the office.

What have you found works best to get stains off your teeth?
I use tobacco and, of course, have the stains to go with them. I don't have dental insurance, so that's out. I use Targon mouthwash for the stains, but was wondering what you have found that helps get rid of tough dental stains over the counter?
--------------------
since you do use tobacco i would say you have a worse stain than just a typical coke or coffee stain. the best thing to do is get your teeth whitened by your dentist and stop using tobacco. if you are not willing to spend so much money go with crest white strips. they are about 20-40 dollars depending on how many weeks you chose to buy. another good one is the brand qvc.com sells. it is a paste + gel that you use twice a day for 2 weeks. that works great too

I smoke and I have found that the Arm & Hammer Bright Smile toothpaste is AMAZING! It's not a gel, it's a paste so it's got a lot of scrubbing power. Concentrate on the "I-teeth" b/c that's where most folks get more stain than their front teeth. You should see results in the first few days depending on how often you brush your teeth. I brush mine at least 3 times a day (used to be a DA.) It's about 4 bucks at Longs... in a yellow box. Good luck! Oh, one more tip for you, tobacco aside, try to avoid drinking beverages that don't have a straw. If you use a straw, you're able to direct the liquid towards the back of your mouth rather than have it splash across the front of your upper teeth-- this can help you avoid some stain, too. Try it for coffee, wine (I know, cheezy) etc.

How long can I wait before I get fillings?
I recently went to the dentist after 3 years and had a cleaning. She used this new machine that beeps if a tooth has a cavity. She told me i have 7 cavities (I have not had a problem my entire adult life) so i was very surprised when i heard this. I have NO insurance, and im basically broke, so there is no way i can afford the $1400 for all 7 fillings. My questions are: Has anyone heard of this machine that detects fillings? what is your experience with that? Can I wait until January (when i can get dental insurance) to get this taken care of.....or will my teeth be in dire straits? I am torn and not sure what to do - help!
--------------------
First, I would get a second opinion. I've never come across a dentist who has an instant-detect machine... and would rely on IT more than his own experience. And $200 a filling? You're getting robbed. Seven cavities, when you've had none in the past is VERY surprising. If they're minor cavities, they may not need to be filled at all... and may correct themselves with regular brushing. Second, yes... you can wait... cavities, if they're well maintained (brushed often with a good toothpaste) can halt their progress. If they're not bothering you, then you have plenty of time. Avoid whitening toothpaste as it may further the progress (they have abrasives in them)... And good luck!

How can I help my mother in law with a toothache?
I live in Washington State and My mother in law is in a lot of pain. She has a loose tooth that is needs to be extracted and has bone loss. It will cost me a fortune and I just dont have that kind of money. She recently just came to live with us and she doesn't have dental insurance. How do I get her some cheap dental insurance or some state aid dental program?
--------------------
I would call a local dental office because they always know of cheap dental insurances or state provided dental insurances. Also for the pain I would just give her some sort of strong pain killers (something w/o aspirin if she is going to have the tooth extracted... aspirin is a blood thinner so it wont clot like it's supposed to). That's basically all you can do for now. If she has bone loss she will NEED that tooth out ASAP because it can cause bone loss to surrounding teeth and then she'll be back in the same boat and needing another tooth extracted. I hope things work out with you all but please call a dental office and maybe they can even set up a payment plan with you. Usually extractions aren't too expensive if they are the non surgical ones (which this one may not be since it's loose already and on it's way out). I hope this helps!

HOw would I start out getting my teeth fixed?
I don't have dental insurance. Does insurance cover cosmetic dental procedures? I have crooked teeth and I'll need braces plus I grind my teeth too so some of my teeth are chipped. Should I just go straight to an orthodontist or can I get insurance from somewhere first and then go.
--------------------
Most insurance does not cover cosmetic dental procedures. The first step is always consulting an orthodontist-- or better yet, several in your area if you have the time. This way, you can get several opinions about any treatment plans and a general idea of what to expect. Initial consultations SHOULD be free at any legitimate ortho office.

How do unemployment benefits typically work?
How is compensation computed and how long are you able to retain unemployment benefits? Does it normally include health/dental insurance? I live in New York State.
--------------------
Insurance is not part of the 'package' but must be made available through COBRA at a much greater cost than you were paying. I'm not sure how exactly they compute the amount you are eligible to receive, but benefits run for approx. 6 months. It normally takes a couple of weeks after applying for your first check to arrive.

Due to my medical condition, I have missed a lot of work.I have just about exhausted family of the ability to borrow funds to help with bills,etc. As of May 1st of this year, I will have only a minimal amount of funds to work with for all bills, medical or other. Short of going on social services and losing my apartment, I have no more ideas on how to sustain during this most costly and emotionally draining process. Also, I only have medical and dental insurance, no short or long term disability.Any suggestions? Any suggestions would be welcomed.

How much does it cost to extract a wisdom tooth that has broken at the gumline?
I feel that a general anesthetic will be required, we have no dental insurance, and would also like info on the estimated recovery time expected. Any info from a qualified professional or someone who has had this work done will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My boyfriend just had one pulled that had to be broken into three pieces and was below the gum line, with local anesthetic, and it was about $140. Obviously if general anesthetic is required it will up the cost a bit. He's still having some trouble with after 5 days, but that's because it got infected. Otherwise, people are generally feeling fine after about two days.
