I have two crowns (after root canals )in the front of my mouth on the top. one of my front teeth and then the one beside it. the front one started to wiggle and eventually fell out. now the one beside it is doing the same thing!!!! I don't have dental insurance so I have to go when I can afford it, and being a woman...this is quite embarrassing. Why would this be happening? Also..when the dentist put the first one back in...it hurt and he said that I shouldn't feel it at all. Any suggestions?
--------------------
This exact same thing happened to me! My dentist would not re cement for free, I needed a post inserted. Ugh, so I started using this temporary dental cement made especially for crowns, bought it at Walgreens for about $5 It was not very good, my tooth would be loose by the end of the day, I couldn't eat or say anything starting with a F. So, I got ghetto and put a tiny dab of superglue, it worked for like 6 months until I could save the money to get a post put in my mouth. The dentist wasn't too happy but he said he's seen worse. I was not about to walk around with missing front teeth. I wonder why it hurt when he put the crown back in, you should have root canals where your crowns are. I hope it isn't something else like an abcess.

Health Insurance???
I am needing to find a health insurance plan for my family. It will be for my husband & I and our 2 girls. I am looking for something that will cover it all....health, dental, vision....whatever. If anyone can kind of point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Or if you have any tips for me. I really don't even know where to begin.... Oh and my husband is self employed....he's an independent contractor (if that helps at all)

There is no one best company and with health insurance you get what you pay for. Visit a local agent that works with all the major companies in your area. The agent can find the best plan for your situation and budget and can explain what you get and, more importantly, what you won't get with any plan. There is no extra charge using an agent. Most individual policies don't include dental and vision. Some will have limited dental and vision as an optional benefit at an additional cost but when you do the math you are generally better off without the coverage. The agent can show you the plans with this option. Do not try to do this over the internet. It'll take you several days to intelligently compare all the plans available. Also, if you have any pre-existing conditions that might add a rider to the policy, cause you to be declined, or if you are out of the height and weight guidelines you won't know until you've applied and gone through the underwriting process.

Hole in my back tooth. Is Mexico a good place to go to get this filled?
A co worker informed me that when she had her two children, two of her teeth feel out (just crumbled) since the calcium was sucked out of her bones. She said she went to Mexico to get them filled. Is this is a good idea and how much would it cost if I did go? I don't have dental insurance and I don't want my tooth pulled! thanks

I live in San Diego which is like 20 minutes from Mexico and alot of my friends go to Mexico for dental work. I guess you can get the work done for like 1/3 of the cost. Many of the dentists have gone to school in the US and speak english etc. but work in Mexico. If I didn't have dental insurance I would definitely consider it.

Should I keep my Medical Insurance? It seems too expensive to keep and I'm healthy?
I pay almost $200 a month for medical insurance through my employer. It covers medical, vision and dental. But I'm a healthy 24 year old female. The only thing I use it for is birth control, which I'm paying too much for through the insurance. If I went to planned parenthood, I could get it for a tenth of what I'm paying now. I don't plan on getting pregnant in the next 5 years (I know accidents happen). But what if I were to save that $200 a month and put it in a savings account and save it for any medical expenses. What do you think? Even if I have a horrible accident, I could tap into that medical expense savings account. If I'm going to be paying $200 a month for the rest of my life, why couln't it just go towards medical bills, instead of medical insurance?

Health Insurance?
I'm trying to get a good health insurance (since the one I have right now is not the greatest) that will cover my dental and Other medical things. Do you guys know of any good ones that: 1.) Have good coverage 2.) Covers dental (definetly) 3.) and that won't cause me to sell my organs in the black market to pay for it every month? I'm doing my own "research" but I want to know if you guys know of any.

Wisdom tooth coming in at age 34. It's crooked and bleeding. What's wrong?
My husband, who is 34, is getting a wisdom tooth in his mouth. It is crooked and going into his cheek and pushing his other teeth out of alignment. It keeps bleeding more and more. Why would it keep bleeding more and could anything be seriously wrong? What should we do. We don't have dental insurance.
--------------------
Wisdom teeth are all the way in the back of our mouths, consequently they are difficult to reach and keep clean. Debris tend to accumulate back there and causes pain and inflammation, especially if the wisdom tooth is crooked. That happens to a lot of people and isn't terribly unusual. Best treatment? Get them pulled. If cost is a concern, look for a local teaching hospital that has an oral surgery department. They usually have oral surgery residents undergoing training who can do such extractions for somewhat lower fees than an oral surgeon in private practice. Hope this helps.

An ethical question - I couldn't reach my dentist; should I switch?
I like to think of my dentist as a personal friend. He was my brother's college roommate and I have been taking my boys to him for 15 or so years. He's done a great job, including root canals and crowns for me. In the last few years, I haven't had dental insurance and he's given me a break on his fees a couple of times (but I paid him in cash, so it's Uncle Sam that was shorted). Yesterday at football practice, my son had two of his teeth knocked out. The only emergency number for my dentist was his home machine and no one answered. I called another dentist (who my dentist had taking his patients last spring when he was on vacation and the same son chipped his two front teeth nearly off playing basketball.) The second dentist had is cell number as an emergency number and he dropped his kids off at a neighbors to come back to his office to re-insert my son's teeth. Should I switch to dentist #2? I feel like I owe him my regular business.
--------------------
Your son's teeth were knocked out completely? Instead of frantically calling your dentist, and then the other one, why didn't you just take your son to the ER? There are dentists on call at every hospital... It's up to you if you want to switch to Dentist #2, but just like the first answerer said, Dentist #1 may be on call for him during his vacation...
