Where do we as Iraq war veterans turn to when we need dental care? I have no money, work very little and have a young daughter to support. The Department of Veterans Affairs offers us no dental coverage as a disabled veteran because I am not 100% disabled. I can't afford to pay out of pocket and have done my research and it seems that this is a problem that people care very little about. I have an abcess and a decayed toothe that needs to be pulled what do I do? Please anyone I am in desperate need of some answers.
--------------------
Currently the VA only offers Dental coverage for service connected issues or 100% rated veterans. I'm sorry to say that you'll probably have to find a dentist or oral surgeon who will preform the work with a promise of payment, may not be easy to find. I don't know if you qualify for Medical assistance in your area? That might be an option but each state is different. Couple things to do on the tooth... Rinse your mouth with warm water and salt or baking soda together. This is not going to fix your problem but it may give you some relief. Also look into getting some Oil of Clove at a local health food store and use a tooth pick to put a little around the site of the tooth, inexpensive and may offer temporary relief. If you smoke or chew try to back off till about a week after the tooth is pulled. Good luck!

does any one know of some good cheap dental insurance?
I need my wisdom teeth pulled and I dont have any insurance?
--------------------
I paid only $800 for mine, when I was originally quoted $1800 because of this wonderful plan I have. I would encourage you to visit this great site: www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up online over 5 years ago now and they have saved me thousands of dollars over the years. From Cleanings, extractions, xrays, filling...etc. all services are included in this very affordable plan. Though prices may be different where you live, but the savings are still incredible and worth a shot. They even had my plan active in 2 hours and was able to use them the very same day. good luck and hope this helps.

Where to get dental insurance?
I am looking for standalone dental insurance. I do not want one of those discount plans. Where is a good place or company to get this coverage?
--------------------
I've had both and honestly, I hate insurance! They charged me an exorbitant amount every month and they only allowed a limited amount of visits per year! Rip off! The discount plan I have now is only $5 a week for my entire family and i just saved about $2000 on my daughters braces! I save hundreds every time we go to the dentist and best of all, there are no limits on how many times I may visit my dentist. I actually enjoy getting my teeth cleaned and like to go more that 2x a year, I go 3 or 4 times and always save a lot of money. you should try the discount plans, they are 10x better than insurance! check out the one i signed up for below. Good luck!

Which dental insurance plan is better for me? PPO OR HMO?
I am planning on taking my wisdom teeth out. However, I don't know if the insurance will cover that. Other than that, everything is fine with my teeth.
--------------------
There are hundreds of PPOs and HMOs out there so it is impossible to say. Make sure that your medical insurance will cover "surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth" as part of their oral surgery benefits. Good luck

Why are there all these question from ppl in the US about not having health insurance or dental insurance?
I live in Europe and if you have something wrong with you, you just go to the doctor or the dentist. The state pays for it. Easy peasy. No hassle. Live is too short to worry about money as well as being sick at the same time.
--------------------
You may feel that life is too short to worry about money and being sick at the same time, but there are plenty of people in the US who lay awake at night thinking that somewhere there may be even one single person getting health care he or she does not deserve. ?°)

I have no dental insurance and my teeth are literally falling out! What can I do?
Is there such a thing as a pro-bono dentist in Michigan that would take what teeth I have left out -and help me get dentures?
--------------------
Most cities have free dentisty. Check your city or a larger city near you. Also if you do still have some teeth left maybe go to walmart and get those little brushes and clean inbetween them. Also floss and brush if you can and use warm water if you are having pain. Maybe go to the emergency room at the hospital or call nurse direct there and that will help you. I hope you are okay. Don't worry it will be alright and you will get dentures soon dear.
