Health Insurance for 18 yr. old?

I'm an 18 yr. old girl and I need to know how to get Health Insurance in New Jersey. I don't qualified for Medicaid and I don't know how to go about getting Health or Dental Insurance.
--------------------
I work for a company that offers medical and dental health plans. Our plans are different from insurance because we are a discount plan and therefore there is no deductible, no co-pay and no preexisting conditions. Also we offer either individual or household plans and our household plans cover everyone that is under one roof even if they are not related (so you and your boyfriend could both be covered under the same plan). The medical plan includes the dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic care plan. If you would like more information on the plans you can visit the following site: http:www.mybenefitsplus.com/mlein

Does anyone know of any emergency dentists in the oregon city oregon area?

My sister has a major toothache and im trying to help her out she needs a 24 hour dentist in the oregon city oregon area. But all I can find is dental insurance. If anyone has any ideas or know where she can go please let me know. We would really appreciate it.
--------------------
Try these? Dr. Michelle Graber 18425 Sw Alexander St, Beaverton, OR 97006 (503) 259-8641 Dr. Packham 2403 SE Monroe St. Suite C Milwaukie, Or 97222 (503) 654-5995 You might also want to try calling your local public library -- the librarians there would have the local phone book and could look up emergency dentists for you that way, if you don't have a phonebook yourself. You may have more luck finding emergency dentists in Portland than in Oregon City or the other smaller towns in the area. Good luck to you and your sis!

How long can a person take an antibiotic b4 they become immune to it?

Clindamycin 300 mg. to be specific. (trying to nurse a tooth that lost a medicated filling as long as possible to save up to have pulled. Started pills 2day. Can get it pulled in July. No dental insurance.)
--------------------
Average courses of Clindamycin last from 5 days to 10 days. The longest time mentioned is for a severe lung infection "which may take as long as 2 to 4 months." So it's use is possible for the length of time you mention. You really need professional advice as this is a drug for serious infections (including soft tissue - dental), in those cases a 5 - 10 day course would usually be adequate. I hope a pharmacist sees your question, can't you ask the person who prescribed Clindamycin for you? There is information on the links and read the leaflet in your pack/s, read side effects, interactions and contraindications. Whatever you do, or take, I hope the antibiotics work. Trouble with teeth is a nental and physical pain.

i need the best site for health insurance for a small business?

the insurance will be for 3 employees and needs to include dental and vision insurance
--------------------
I think the best way is to do some research on your own and then get in touch with local health insurance agents or brokers. I say more than one because talking with more agents will give you more ideas, see more health plan products, and – most importantly – get several different insurance agents competing two earn your business. Many people don't realize it, but insurance plans aren't any cheaper online than they are through an agent. When I've looked at small business matters, The National Associated for the Self-Employed (see link below) had some good information. They have a health care Web site with some good information as well (also below). Also, some states have group-purchasing pools for small business and the self-employed. Depending on the kind of business you're in, there may be a trade association you can join and get group health insurance through them. After you've done some researching, try visiting MostChoice.com. I'm a writer for them, and they have a simple approach to shopping for health insurance. You fill out a short form, they send you information on health plans available in your state, and local state-licensed insurance agents contact you within 48 hours to talk about what you're company needs in a group health plan. It's free and you're not required to buy anything from the agents who contact you. Just wait until one of them delivers an insurance solution that makes sense for you and your company. You can visit MostChoice here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insuran… Hope this helps, Barnes @ MostChoice.

Where to find a cheap way to get my wisdom tooth pulled out in Seattle?

I am not from here. Last time I had my widom tooth pulled out it only cost me $230. When I called around doctors here, the price I got is more than $1000. I don't have dental insurance so there is no way I can afford a price like this. Does anybody know any place around Seattle area that I can get one wisdom tooth pulled out for less than $300? Thank you!

The first link below lists low-cost or sliding scale dental clinics in Seattle and surrounding areas. You might also try the UW School of Dentistry (the second link) although they may have a longer waiting period.

How can I relieve chronic toothaches?

I currently am in need of two back-tooth root canals, one on either side of my mouth, but can't dish up the $600 [each]; dental insurance won't cover it either. I haven't used the right side of my mouth to chew for a year now, but the left side has recently been giving me terrible, fleeting pains. The pain has woken me up for the past three days now, and ibuprofen isn't working as well as I'd hoped. How can I relieve the pain in my tooth? Thanks in advance.
--------------------
my dad had this problem and he would break a tylenol in several pieces and stick it down into the hole until he had it fixed. I have also heard a few drops of vanilla, clove oil or wheat grass all are supposed to take the pain away for a while You cant work out a payment plan with your dentist?? The longer you wait the more its going to cost in the long run.

what is the likelihood of me finding a dentist with compassion?

my point is, after finally getting dental insurance (8 years without it) i need to see a dentist terribly and i do not have the finances to cover the 20% that would be my part of the copay. are there dentists out there that are able to see a patient without a copay or would they get in trouble by waving the copay? i live paycheck to paycheck but teeth are something you can't neglect.
--------------------
There are dentists who offer those long term plans like what Capital One sells. If you sign up for that they will tell you how much you need to pay each month (for a year or so) to cover your part of the expense. It does not go on your regular credit card and evidently they do not report it to credit bureaus so your existing credit line is untouched. If you want low cost compassion see if there is a dental school in your area. They usually have a clinic where senior students (under supervision of a licensed dentist) will do the work for free or for negligible cost. Forsythe in the Boston area does that for example.
