I have a friend that has been laid off work for over a year. she cant find work. so hence she has no dental insurance nor money to see a dentist. my question is this, she has a wisdom tooth that "fell apart" in the last 9 months. it doesnt hurt her but there is a sharp piece of tooth that rubs against her tongue. is there a way you can take a file of some sort and file it down to take away the sharpness?
--------------------
My worry about her trying to do something like that would be that she could go from a tooth that is not really causing her pain to a tooth that could. She does not want to run the risk of making the problem worse the it already is. Times are really hard but there are places she can go and try to get the dental help she needs. I found this great blog on Where to Find Low-Cost Dental Care at http://www.dentalopinions.com I suggest that she check it out. It can help advise her. I would have copy and pasted but it was rather big. hope this has helped

Help with a dentist please??
I have a wisdom tooth that I have broken. It is very painful and I think it is becoming infected. I need to have it pulled asap. I do not have dental insurance and am on a very tight budget. Does anyone out there know of a dentist in Lakeland Florida that will pull it with a payment plan? Or a Health Department that doesn't have a 2 month waiting list. Thanks so much!!

Look in the yellow pages of your phone book for Dental Schools and check with them. Sometimes they will do the work for just a minimum charge. Good luck.

Look at my teeth! Should i get braces?
My mom says they are not that bad but i know that they lower my self confidence a LOT. I'm currently poor. As in really poor and {of course,) i have no dental insurance. But am gonna find a way, i'm pretty determined to close the gap. I hate it. So, should i get braces or should i use those bonding/veneer stuff. Thanks. http://www.picupine.com/64471bfx

Braces is the answer, Bonding to close the gap may result in the two front teeth being too wide and looking like a beaver teeth. I wish you good luck.

Anyone else notice this?
I've seen a LOT of younger girls coming in here saying they were pregnant with NO insurance. I'm not going to bash on these girls seeing as how I became pregnant at 17. My question is, why no insurance? My mom had insurance on me during both my pregnancies. I was on her insurance because even though I wasn't living with her, I was going to school full time (college). What kind of parents do these kids have? My kids have had health insurance since the day they were born through their father's job. I may just be imagining things, but isn't it kind of stupid not to have your kids insured? I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but my parents always made sure my brother and I had medical, vision, and dental insurance. My fiance and I do this with our girls. Anyone else think it's odd?

I totally agree. My parents have 5 kids (all adults now), and did not have any money. One of the major expenses was health insurance, because it is mandatory...you can't NOT have it! What is with these parents?? My parents made due with nothing too, so what's their excuse??? My children will never ever go without health insurance, no matter what the circumstances. Thanks for bringing this up...hopefully it will open some eyes!

mouth question?
ok so on the left side of my cheek (inside my mouth? i have this weird bump. it appeared about 2 weeks ago but the side the bump is on, my jaw hurts on that side for like 5 weeks. im just wondering if this might be serius also right now i dont have dental insurance and my mom cant afford me to go right now, so i have no way of getting it checked. Also i know i didnt bite my cheek becsuse my teeth cant reach that spot.
--------------------
Please get it checked out. You can always go to a clinic or to a dental teaching school nearby. Yes, it could be serious. Do you have a nurse at school? It really stinks with our healthcare system. Good luck. I wish you well. You can look up WebMD.com and do a little research. I think they might even take questions. TMJ will cause pain in your jaw but, I would be concerned about the bump.
