My Ex is remarried and carriers dental insurance on our kids through her work insurance and her new husbands insurance. She is stating that I owe half of the amount for braces without her new husband using his insurance. I told that is fine if she doesn't submit it to his insurance, but if she does and his insurance pays then I should only owe half of the out-of-pocket costs. Does anyone know if I am right?
--------------------
Actually you need to check with the provisions of your divorce decree. I found out that since braces are "cosmetic" that my ex-husband could refuse to pay for any of it, which he did. I paid for all out-of-pocket expenses for my son's braces all by myself. Sounds like she's trying to get over on you!

What's best dental coverage for white composite fillings?
Many dental insurance or dental plans do not offer coverage for white composite fillings except for front teeth. If I needed fillings repaired or new ones, I only want composite, non mercury based fillings. Any direction on plan type or specific companies to look at that are cost effective is appreciated? Thanks.

I just pay for them -approx £30-100 as an additional extra - cheaper for me as I don't have insurance. If you ask your dentist you should be able to book a fully private non plan covered appointment for not much extra.

How much would braces cost if we dont have insurance?
Okay, so basically my mom keeps saying she's going to look into braces for me since my teeth are really messed up. I'm 14, and I don't have dental insurance but I really want to get my teeth fixed. How much do you think on average it would cost if she were to pay a monthly payment?

I want to know how to find a free or low cost dental clinic. My mother is on a fixed income?
My mom has social security as her sole support. She is 64 and has no Medical or Dental insurance coverage. After rent, utilities and grocerys she does not have much left. She really needs to see a doctor because of arthritis pain and her diabetes. She really needs to see a dentist because she has many missing teeth and is in bad need of dentures. I am not in a financial position to help her. I need to find her free or low cost care. Any suggestions?
--------------------
How can she be on Social Security and not have Medicare? There is no free dental care. The dental clinics that were popular in the 90's were overwhelmed and most have opted to treat only children now. All they ever did was pull teeth out anyway. So there's no free care. Have you looked into your local county and state dental society or your nearest local dental school? They will offer reduced fees but not by too much. Most require payment up front and there are huge waiting lists. Sorry. Because of the economy it's just a bad time all around.

Can you claim out-of-pocket dental expenses when filing your taxes?
I live in MN and though I have dental insurance, it didn't cover all the work I had done this last year. Can I get an old invoice from the dentist's office and claim them???
--------------------
If you itemize deductions you can claim medical payments above and beyond 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. For example if your adjusted gross income is $30,000, 7.5% of that is $2,250.00. Your medical expenses are $3,000.00. You can claim the difference of the two, which is $750.00. If your medical expenses are under this 7.5%, you can't claim any of them. I hope this makes sense. Good luck.

How much does it cost to get your teeth whitened at a Dental office?
I live in Canada..and was wondering if that is covered by dental insurance. I want my teeth white but not too white that it will look fake. And what would be the best over the counter whitening product other then that?
--------------------
Don't know about Canadian law, but in the US whitening is considered cosmetic, and is not covered. Depending on the system that's used, it can range from $200-$500.

How can I hire a family member as a house employee and pay them properly including insurance?
Has anyone done this? If so, what was the experience like and how did you approach payment and getting them medical/dental insurance. Thank you for your time.

paying them is not the problem as long as it is under the gift limit of 10,000 per year. However they would have to be considered an independent contractor
