Does anyone know whether most dental insurance cover for general anesthesia when putting us to sleep? to take out our wisdom teeth?
--------------------
I just got mine out 11 days ago and I don't know if mine is covered or not. It depends on the company. It was worth it to me though. I am a chicken. I didn't want to know what they were doing in there! lol. All I know is I went in, he asked me some questions and that is the last thing I remember until I heard them calling my name and telling me to wake up! It was only about 250 to be put to sleep by IV. It was great! lol. In my opinion anyway. Good luck!

Nerve deadening medication?
Mu husband has a really bad tooth ache due to a rotting tooth. He does not have dental insurance. He will get to the dentist as soon as he can. So please do not tell me to have him go now. Pulling a tooth is very expensive. But for now he needs to ease the pain. I have heard that there are medicines that kill the nerve thus making the pain stop. What are these medications and where can we get them?
--------------------
I had an abscess tooth one time, didn't know at the time that it was abscess untill I went to the dentist. I had a doctor tell me one time when my youngest son was cutting five teeth at one time to take childern advil ( liquid) kind, dip your finger in it and rub it on the tooth. it made a difference in him day and night. I tried everything with mine and nothing worked untill I tried that. The liquid advil goes right to the pain, so have him try that and let me know if it works for him too. Good luck,

Why can't pop, candy, and deep fried cooking be illegal?
Diabetes, obesity, tooth decay, and heart attacks--yum those taste GREAT...can I have another? These also lead to an increase in Health Care costs/Health-Dental Insurance and laziness--which hurts the economy. Heck obesity has even been known to break up marriages, social rejection, and low self esteem. And what diabetic likes carrying around their 'crap'?
--------------------
Thank you! I have been quiet for soooo long. The words "morbid Obesity" is the first line under secondary causes on my mothers death certificate. Do you remember when there was that rediculous lawsuit against the fast food chains? Here is my opinion on that. I think that if a bartender can off a drunk from drinking in his bar after he's clearly had enough and if something happens he can be held liable, maybe the clerk at the 7 eleven or the fast food place can refuse to sell a candy bar or extra large french fries to someone who "has had enough" "I am sorry Ms., I can't sell you that Burger with extra french fries, We can clearly see that you have had enough. You might develope severe health problems and then try to sue us later." Well unfortunatly its not going to happen.

Bridges vs. partial dentures - thoughts?
My dad lives near Memphis, TN. I've noticed that he has trouble eating because of tooth pain. My brother says that my dad needs a new bridge or partial dentures. I'm trying to look into this procedure to decide which would be more cost effective (he doesn't have dental insurance) and I can't find ANY information about this. Does anyone have any idea how the costs compares between bridges and partial dentures?
--------------------
I'm not certain of the exact costs of a bridge or a partial as they vary from dentist to dentist and the area in which you live. I'm having a lot of problems with my teeth right now and a partial is my best, most cost effective option. When they put in a bridge, they have to "shave" off part of the crown on the two healthy teeth on either side of where the bridge will be placed, this usually results in getting a root canal and crown to save those teeth, which have to be fixed every 5-10 years. A bridge, depending on the size, can easily cost up to, if not more, than $2,000. A partial CAN be considerably less, depending on the dentist. If your Dad is older and doesn't mind getting a partial denture, that might be the way to go. That way, he never has to worry about having to get those teeth fixed again, and if the opportunity presents itself in the future, he can have dental implants, although those are very expensive. Getting a partial or full denture can be very mentally taxing because we're concerned about our looks and how people will react. Today's partials are much more realistic looking and can be made to match the teeth and can even have imperfections if the patient wants them, to take away from that "fake" look that the old dentures had. There are a lot of websites out there that can explain both procedures and some even offer a rough estimate of what they cost. I don't have dental insurance either, but there are options for people like us. If his local Health Department has a dental clinic, they have discounted prices, so he can at least get his x-rays, exam, and consultation for a lowered price. You can also look into dental schools in the area. They offer their services at 2/3 the cost of the private sector. And then there are free dental clinics, but they're hard to find. I lucked out and found out about one in my area today. I arrived at 5:45 am and there were already 100 people in line, so it took me 7 hours to finish up, but then again, I also received $1,000 in dental work for absolutely free, so it was well worth the wait.
