I have been told I need a root canal, but do not have dental insurance or the funds to go to the dentist. My gums around that tooth are swollen and very painful. How can I treat this at home without having to see the dentist?
--------------------
Dental care is the one area (other than acute trauma care) that ALL naturopaths agree is NOT a do-it-yourself project. What about going to the emergency room? If it's as bad as you say, they may pull the tooth for you or at least give you some antibiotics to get you by a few days while you find a way to have the tooth fixed.

I need dental work Have no ins. am 53 on limited income in the Austin TX or surrounding areas?
I am looking for free dental care I have no insurance and only have $400 a month income. Can anyone HELP I am in pain and can't find any help in Austin TX. Believe it or not I'm not poor enough to get State help. I don't live in a shelter, I live with friends, so ARCh can't help. Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi sweetie...the link below is, I believe, exactly what you're looking for. They have free services, including dental, depending on income, and reduced fees for those who have income but can't pay full price. I believe you'd probably fall under the free category if you apply. Either way, reduced is a great way to go too, especially since yours would be quite a bit smaller payment for services. I wish you well, and God's blessings! Just scroll down, look at the City of Austin Dental clinic area, and call the number tomorrow (or today, it's still pretty early there!)

What is the best clear dental retainer for under say $100?
I lost mine, and I don't have insurance or anything, so I was wondering if anyone knows where to get an affordable clear tooth retainer (for after braces). Thanks!!

I don't believe you can get one that cheap thru a Dentist. Try Rite Aide, they have all kinds of things that you wouldn't think they would have

anyone know of grants for dental care in Colorado?
Here's my problem I have severe genetic decay and my teeth are seriously crumbling. I am so embarrassed that I don't even smile anymore. I am a single mom with only my income and can't afford insurance and don't really have the money to fix this. I would love to smile again and I am just wondering if anyone knows of any grants or something to help me. Thanks!!

Could you get on medicaid? The only thing I can think of is either going to the dental school out in Aurora or possibly going to denver health on speer to see if there is anything they could do to help you.

Does insurance cover teeth extraction for braces.?
I have Aetna dental and medical insurance. i recently had to get 4 of my bicuspids extracted for braces purpose. I called Aetna ahead to see if the cost will be cover by insurance, they told me yes, it will cover 90%, also on my dental plan it says it will cover 90%. but when I went into the dental office, people from the dental office told me since it's for braces, insurance will not cover. but they didn't even bother to get down my information and call my insurance, so how would they know if it's not covered? I ended up paying with my credit card, cause i really need to get it done. i want to find out if the cost is covered by insurance or not, what should i do next? and if it's covered how do i get reimburse? thank you

Ask your dental office to submit it to your insurance for you. If that is not a common practice for them ask for a quick claim form with the proper codes, teeth numbers and fees along with the proper dentists identification then get a dental form from your employers HR dept. and submit it yourself.

my brother was jumped by 4 men, his teeth got kicked in but he has no insurance to get treatment.....?
my brother is 22 he was riding a bike down the street and one guy sucker punched him out of the dark, knocked him off the bike, 3 more guys ran up and they started hitting and kicking him while he was down, he got knocked out and woke up later laying in the street next to his bike. they had kicked him in the face and his front teeth are broken and some teeth are pretty much moved around. basically he has no insurance for dental to get his mouth fixed, because its all raw nerves he cant eat or talk barely, is there any program that would help people pay for medical or dental?

Your brother is a crime victim, so you could check with the Legal Aid society to see if there are programs in your area, or look for other victim-assistance programs by typing "victim assistance (your location)" into a search engine. If you have a dental school or dental college nearby, the students treat people, under direct teacher supervision, at a much lower cost than private dentistry. There are often dental clinics open to the public at these schools. In my experience, dental insurance doesn't cover a significant percentage of dental costs anyway (I ran up a $350 tab at my last visit, and got about $25 back from insurance). Major medical might, if he has that, since it was due to injury and not routine or elective care. In any case, a dentist would usually be willing to set up a payment plan over time. If you know a good dentist, call and ask what can be done.
