how long to wait after root canal to get a crown put on?

i had a root canal very recently, and basically paid out of pocket, out of lack of dental insurance (im a student, and pretty damn poor!). i now need to get the crown put on, but i will have to start all over again and start saving for it. how long can i possibly wait before having it done?
--------------------
You can wait a year or two before the tooth weakens enough to break. The amount of filling material in the tooth will also make a difference, the more fillings the greater the chance of breakage. Remember, the longer you wait the greater the chance of that happening.

dental costs.... help!?

my boyfriend has a cavity on one of his lower front teeth. It is towards the gumline, it's not horrible, i don't think it can be seen by the naked eye but it's got to be fixed. he has no dental insurance though... can anyone give me a ball park estimate as to what this will cost to fix it? also we live in florida, in clearwater... are there any type of assistance programs to help defer the cost if he has no insurance? thanks so much.
--------------------
The cost of fillings vary depending on how large the cavity is. In my office fillings start at $147 and go up to $307. If no insurance you can look into a discount plan that will cut that cost by almost half. Ameriplan or Careington are good ones but I don't know if they offer them in FL as I live in CA. Hope this helps!

I just sent out an enrollment form for Tricare Dental Program. But how do you get the medical insurance. I am confused and don't know who to talk to. My husband is in the national guard and he is in basic training.

What are some possible benefits of being a teacher?

ex. dental insurance?
--------------------
I love the payoffs of teaching....... Financially, the money isn't that great, but getting paid to do what I love is amazing... Yeah, the benefits are great if you're talking insurance (health, well/sick care, dental, vision, etc) but the benefit of being able to go to a place to work every day and know that I'm in a safe and supportive environment is beyond... Knowing that I am impacting the future gives me the chills sometimes! These kids are amazing, and all they bring into the classroom adds to the richness of teaching. No matter how much I have planned for my day, all it takes is one question to derail the plans and lead down a different learning adventure for the day. Benefit... not ever being bored! Kids are who they are, they show up every morning, happy, sad, glad, mad and they bring it with them! It keeps things unpredictable and exciting. Yeah, I may teach math, social studies, reading, writing, science, etc every day, but the deliver of the day all depends on the kids. Ever spent an entire hour talking in a southern accent (and I'm not from the south?!) It adds a whole new twist to the math lesson that was challenging half the kids! The biggest benefit for me comes in seeing my students succeed. Sometimes the success are small (they finally remembered to capitalize the sentence!) and sometimes they're big (they finally passed all their multiplication facts!) and sometimes they are unrelated to school, yet powerful beyond measure. The child who had been shuffled from mom's to dad's to grandma's finally settling into a happy routine... The benefits of teaching, if you love your job, really are hard to measure!

Does anyone know of a good denist for dentures?

I am in GA. I am looking for a dentist or oral surgeon that can work with me on payments. I have no dental insurance. If anyone knows of a good dental insurance that would be helpful as well. My teeth are in pretty bad shape and I need to get dentures put in. I am on a budget so if anyone knows of anyone that will work with you and take payments that would be so great. thanks

Most are good due to the high level of training they get these days

Where can I get free or low cost dental care in San Sebastian, Spain, or anywhere near by? ?

I am American with no insurance. In Holland you can get treated by students at the dental college for a low, flat fee. Anything like that in Spain or South France?

No where

Ink Inc., a publishing firm, offers its 899 employees a cafeteria approach to benefits, in which employees can?

enroll in the benefit plan of their choice. Seven hundred thirteen employees have health insurance, 523 have dental insurance, and 489 have both health and dental insurance. (a) What is the probability p that one of the employees has either health or dental insurance? (b) What is the probability p that one of the employees has health insurance but not dental insurance?
--------------------
(a) First of all since you are finding the probability of health, or dental the events are not mutually exclusive, becuase the people who have health also have dental. It would be 730/899 + 523/899 - 489/899 = 764/899, or approx 0.85. Remember the formula for non mutually exclusive events, p(1)+p(2)-p(1, and 2). (b) Same procces here, except you just have, p(1)-p(1, and 2), the reason for this is becuase there, non mutually exclusive, but it involves both 1, and 2, becuase you are finding the probability of just health insurance. Answer = 730/899(p ofhealth)-489/899(p of health and dental)=241/899, or approx .27
