1. How much was the down payment? 2. How much is it monthly? 3. What's the total amount for your braces? 4. Did you dental insurance (if you have any) help that much?
--------------------
I am taking my daughter to UNC dental school, so it's about $1400 cheaper- but here is the figures for her: 1. $600.00 2. $120.00/month for 25 months 3. $3600.00 4. Yes, it will pay $1,000.00 Hope this helps!

A question for people with braces?
1. How much was the down payment? 2. How much is it monthly? 3. What's the total amount for your braces? 4. Did you dental insurance (if you have any) help that much?
--------------------

How can I get "pro bono" dental work or denturesI am single woman unemployed very low income & state won'thelp
About 4 years ago I was in an abusive relationship that at the end I was in the hospital in intensive care, beaten with a crowbar,most of my back teeth I had swallowed during the attack the rest had been broken off,cracked or chipped. I have since then been to the dentist one time when I had insurance, a job,and a family member that would help me out during the recovery. Right now I am unemployed,in a town that I truely don't have anyone that I can rely on to truely help if needed,my living situation is I now rent a room in a home that has no real privacy,and my transportation is currently bus,bike,or walk and I can't do that after oral surgery.Medical coverage in this state that I live does not cover "cosmetic" procedures and dentures,or bridges,caps,etc. are considered cosmetic.They will pay to pull all your teeth but they will not help get you new ones!! I like to eat.So..What can I do to get my teeth fixed and looking decent so that I can someday again smile.

Health Insurance cover mouth issue?
I don't have a dental coverage with my current health insurance . I recently went in for a cleaning and they saw a lesion they want to send me to a oral surgeon. I'm afraid if its cancerous I could be on the hook for a huge bill which wouldn't be covered if its considered "dental". I don't want to delay having it examined but I also don't want to ask my insurance company for fear of it being denied as pre-existing dental condition that I couldn't add coverage for. What should I do?
--------------------
Don't go to an oral surgeon - Go to an ENT. They are medical and in a MUCH better position to diagnose the lesion. If it turns out to be dental, you can go back to the dentist, if not, you will be in better hands with an ENT. *Edit - Just FYI - Cancer is never considered dental (even oral cancer) - It is always medical. *Edit 2 - DrMiller - It was an oral surgeon (followed by her GP that agreed with the idiot) that told my mom she had a strep infection for 4 months when she really had cancer. But even if they can biopsy it and diagnose it properly, he'll still end up at an ENT for treatment if it turns out badly, so why not skip the middleman that may or may not get it right the first time?? To Peter - Thanks, it was a long time ago, but I still miss her deeply. I wish you all the best and hopefully this will turn out to be something harmless for you.

Precautions Before taking alendronate, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other bisphosphonates; or if you have any other allergies. This medication should not be used if you have certain medical conditions. Before using this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have: disorders of the esophagus (e.g., esophageal stricture or achalasia), inability to stand or sit upright for at least 30 minutes, low calcium levels, severe kidney disease. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: trouble swallowing, stomach/intestinal disorders (e.g., ulcers). Infrequently, serious jawbone problems (osteonecrosis) have occurred in people taking similar medication. Most people were also using other medications or had conditions which might have actually caused the jawbone problem. If you have cancer, anemia, blood clotting disorders, infections in the mouth or other diseases of the mouth, or poor dental hygiene, see your dentist for a full examination/treatment before you start alendronate. Make sure he/she knows your entire medical history, any cancer radiation treatments, and also all the medications you are using, especially corticosteroids such as prednisone, cancer chemotherapy, and alendronate. Consult your dentist for more details. This drug is not recommended for use in children. General Alendronate is used to prevent and treat certain types of bone loss (osteoporosis). It belongs to a class of medications called bisphosphonates, and they decrease the activity of cells which break down bone. Maintaining strong bones by slowing bone loss helps to reduce the risk of fractures. Your risk of developing osteoporosis is greater as you age, after menopause due to the lack of natural estrogen hormones, and if you are taking corticosteroid medications (e.g., prednisone) for long periods. How to use Fosamax Oral Follow these instructions very closely to maximize the amount of drug absorbed and reduce the risk of injury to your esophagus. This medicine comes with a patient information leaflet. Read it carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you may have about this medicine. This medication is usually taken once per week unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Choose the day of the week that best fits your schedule and take it on that day each week. Take this medication by mouth, after getting up for the day and before taking your first food, beverage or other medication. Take it with a full glass (6-8 ounces or 180-240 milliliters) of plain water. Swallow the tablet whole. Do not chew or suck on it. Then stay fully upright (sitting, standing or walking) for at least 30 minutes and do not lie down until after your first food of the day. Wait at least 30 minutes (preferably 1 to 2 hours) after taking the medication before you eat or drink anything other than plain water. Do not take this medication at bedtime or before rising for the day. It may not be absorbed and you may have side effects. Other medications, vitamins, antacids, coffee, tea, soda, mineral water and food can decrease the absorption of alendronate. Do not take these for at least 30 minutes (preferably 1 to 2 hours) after taking alendronate. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it on the same day each week. It may help to mark your calendar with a reminder. Side-Effects Stomach pain, constipation, gas, or nausea may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: jaw pain, swelling of joints/hands/ankles/feet, an increase in muscle or bone pain, black stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds. This medication may infrequently cause serious irritation and ulcers of the esophagus. If you notice any of the following unlikely but very serious side effects, stop taking alendronate and consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately: new or worsening heartburn, chest pain, trouble or painful swallowing. A serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), dizziness, trouble breathing. This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. In the US, you may report side effects to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at 1-800-FDA-1088. In Canada, you may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

I have a lot of cavities, what should i do?
i have about 4 cavities and i never been to a dentist before. i need to know what the doctor will do to fix it and how they will fix the cavity that is on the SIDE of my tooth. i know i have dental insurance but im not sure if it will still come out to be expensive for one or even for all 4 cavities. please help me understandd.
--------------------
If the cavities just need fillings, then most insurances cover 80% - you might owe $80 - $100 per cavity. If the cavities are bad and require a root canal and crown then it costs more. Most insurances cover 80% on a root canal and 50% on a crown. I normally owe about $170 on a root canal and about $350 on a crown (porcelain). Yes, I have crappy teeth :) - even though I brush and floss almost all of my teeth have been crowned. They will only get worse the longer you wait, so go ahead and schedule an appointment.
