We have blue cross blue shield dental insurance

Most insurance companys do if you have ortho coverage so i would call your plan and ask them or else your dental office should be able to let you know also.

Where can I find a dental surgeon?
I Need a dental surgeon who can work with me I do not have insurance at this time and I am in pain, I have a cracked/ broken wisdom tooth that is in severe pain... I have no insurance through my job and cannot afford to purchase insurance. Is there a place I can go in Houston TX that can help me before this gets too bad????

The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston has a dental branch. The phone number is 713-500-4000. At a dental college you can get excellent treatment at very low cost, sometimes you only pay for materials used. All treatment is overseen by an instructor. I have used the one near my home several times before I got dental insurance. They sometimes have a pain clinic so try giving them a call.

orthodontist insurance?
I want to get braces, My teeth aren't that bad, all I have are about 3 minor gaps on my upper row, and 2 small ones on the lower teeth. I haven't been to a dentist to have a consultation or anything yet, but judging by looking at friends who have had braces, I couldn't possibly need them for over 2 years. I also don't have dental insurance, but plan to get it before I go for my first orthodontist consultation and all. I just wanted to ask people on here how much do you think I could save having dental insurance, (percentage wise), and for suggestions for a good dental insurance plan in your opinion that you've tried. And maybe an opinion, of how much without the insurance would regular metal braces would cost in total. I'd especially like to hear from those of you who has had them before and your positive or negative experience from braces,how long you've had them, what your problem was and how your felt about the final results. Thanks

My husband had braces for over 4 years because he didn't follow the orthodontist's instructions. If your teeth aren't too bad then I wouldn't imagine you would have them on near this amount of time....just do what you are told to do with the care of them!! Insurance can be pretty pricy so make sure to do your homework to see how much will be covered and if it is worth it to take the plan. Another alternative is a dental discount card. You will pay $11.95 a month and it will provide you a discount at participating provider locations. Just make sure to verify provider participation in your area before applying.

Serious dental problem?
I am 23 years old, and a full time student who works part time. I have been without dental insurance since I was 11, because it is just too expensive. For the past few weeks, my mouth has been hurting very badly. I went to see my school nurse today, and she said I have an impacted molar coming in, and I better get to see a dentist soon, or I was in for a world of pain. She gave me a list of dentists to call, and none of them will see you unless you can pay the full amount up front. I can't do that, I am a full time student and I have rent to pay. Does anybody know of any service in Florida that will help people who cannot afford dental care? I am at my wit's end and do not know what I can do. Help!
--------------------
Hey what part of Florida are you in? I am in Melbourne. I'm sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. You should always have your wisdom teeth taken out because when they start to come in they can cause your other teeth to shift and move because most people to not have a large enough jaw to support them. They are also so far back that it is hard for you to keep clean so that makes it easier for them to get infected. You should look into any dental schools in your area to see if they can see you. They will be alot cheaper than going to a private practice. Also look into any free clinics in your area and see what they offer. They could probably tell you who you could see if they cannot do anything for you. Good Luck and I hope that you feel better soon.

Wisdom Teeth/Biting Cheek/Extraction/Insurance?
So my wisdom teeth have been growing lately & now my lower right one is partially out and my upper right one is completely out.. I notcied that when I chew, my wisdom teeth bite my cheek and I have to be very careful not to hurt myself. I was wondering if you could have your wisdom teeth pulled for this reason alone (there's no impacted molar or anything, that I know of), and would dental insurance cover it?
--------------------
Your dentist can recommend the removal of your wisdom teeth and have the dental insurance pay for the cost without there being an impaction or infection. In your case, yes the biting of the cheek is enough to suggest they haven't erupted correctly and need to be removed. In fact, the sooner you have it done the easier it will be to do the job. The wisdom teeth do not have roots into the jawbone for the first bit after they erupt, which makes removal much more pleasant to recover from as well. They can be removed with just a local anesthetic, and not require an oral surgeon or sedation. My daughter had the same problem and had hers removed as well. The insurance paid for it. She had the teeth removed in the morning, and was out with friends at the movies that evening. She had to leave the popcorn and soda alone, but otherwise she was on full feed and did great. Just go see the dentist as soon as you can get in, and arrange for the removal. The folks in the business office can help with the insurance arrangements. Good luck, and don't worry. If they aren't infected or impacted, removal is usually not that bad.

How harmful are dental x-rays? Is it bad to get more than one done in a month?
I haven't been to a dentist in a very long time since I don't have insurance I just kept putting it off...I decided to get a checkup this month and had dental x-rays taken. Well I really didn't like the dentist office I went to, so I decided to go another dentist office about a week later. The other dentist I went to took dental x-rays as well. I need a root canal and both dentists were charging amounts I couldn't afford, so I decided to look for dental insurance. I have qualified for dental insurance beginning next month, but it's HMO so I have to go to another dentist...which happens to do digital x-rays only. Now I'm afraid that too many x-rays within a short period of time might be harmful. I just read an article on msn about new studies show that x-rays causes cancer in the future. I'm not sure what to do...or if dental x-rays are not that harmful... anyone know??
--------------------
You were harming your body more by putting off much needed dental work. Broken down, decayed teeth, bleeding diseased gums, infected teeth that need root canals are more dangerous to your overall health than a few x-rays per month. Dental offices follow strict protocols for radiation and how much exposure a person can have. I assure you that you are safe, esp with digital x-rays, which produce 60 to 80 percent less radiation than traditional films. Also the beam of radiation is so focused, in this case on your mouth, that the exposure to the rest of the body is minimal. Periodontal gum disease, decayed teeth, and infected teeth and gums produce inflammation in the body, which has been connected to an increase risk of strokes, heart attacks, miscarriage in pregnant women, diabetes........ the list goes on. Are you aware of how much radiation you are exposed to in a day? The sun, computers, microwaves, etc. Dental x-rays are an absolute necessity for the dentist to properly diagnose your dental problems. Dentists can get into serious trouble if they work on a tooth for a filling or root canal without an x-ray. Your best bet is to educate yourself, and stop believing everything that you read, including this post. Don't take my word for it, ask your dentist, find research at your local library or university, be proactive. As a side note just about everything that we ingest, are exposed to, work with etc has been reported as a possible carcinogen. With all of the pollutants in our air and water, preservatives in our food, lead paint on our children's toys, how is anyone ever sure what exactly causes cancer, the answer is no one really knows FOR SURE!!
