What would you do? dental question?

Today my crown that I have had since I was in the 4th grade(14 yrs ago) broke off. I do not have dental insurance because I just finished school and have not started a job. The tooth is in the back ( not visible) and does not really hurt. I don't know if I need to get the nub removed or leave it until I have money to do something else. I am a little worried that if I remove the "nub" and cannot do anything else with the space like a bridge or implant that my teeth will shift. I am very unsure about what to do. Also any suggestions on dental insurance that I can afford on an interns salary would be perfect.
--------------------
See a dentist and hopefully it can be re-cemented, which is inexpensive. Explain your current situation with the dentist, he will try to make the crown fit back on if at all possible. By the way, all crowned "teeth" look like nubs. If you can see it then most likely your in good shape. Don't wait too long on having this done since the other teeth will drift. Good luck!

I need major dental work but have no insurance. Can someone help me? My smile depends on it. Thank you.?

No insurance, no job (disabled), not elegible for medicaid or social security. Pro Bono?
--------------------
Try a dental school. It is a pain, time consuming but they do very nice work for a very, very reasonable price. (I am from baltimore and have used university of maryland dental school)

--------------------
You need to read the terms of your specific policy. No one here can possibly know your coverage. Dental insurance is separate from health (medical) insurance.

How do I pay for dental procedures when my insurance pays for nothing?

My husband has always worked for big businesses and their insurance was always outstanding. Well at&t instead if justing firing people (which would look bad) made it impossible for everyone to make their numbers. Out of the 30 people that worked at the store and 20 had been their at least 5 yrs all lost their jobs. Well praise God someone offered my husband a job and we are so thankful, but it is a small business and the insurance is with bluecross and they are awful! I have never ever had to deal with an insurance co. that is hell bent on not paying for anything if they can help it. I was in the middle of having my mouth worked on and I have to see specialist after specialist and I find out that bcbs will not pay and these procedures are close to 2 thousand each. What do I do? I am so out of my league. Both my husband and I are very scared and I already have to deal with a new physical disability, I can't deal with this too. We have no credit cards and nobody will give us a loan and we are paying close to 400$ for insurance when we use to pay 50$. Please help.Please.

Insurance for my company and personal insurance for me?

I am opening up a boutique and of course I'm going to need to provide benefits to the employee(s) Medical, Vision, Dental all that. Who is the best provider. It is a high class boutique, things like Miu Miu, Dolce and Gabbanna, Dior etc. I've also been looking for a good insurance provider for myself with Medical, Vision, Dental. etc the thing is, with most Insurance providers your very limited to certain doctors and such and there isn't much of a variety to chose from. and I really want to give my employees the best that I can. any good suggestions?
--------------------

Anyway. the following site has a fantastic free comparison quote feature wher you can see side by side quotes from the leading insurance companies. Then you can compare coverages and rates and make an informed decision. Good luck with your business

how to get emergency dental help w/o insurance or money to pay for dental work?

My tooth aches extremely as I type! I have no insurance and I have no money at all to even pay for service. I have not seen a Dentist in over 4 years because I could not afford it and I have no Insurance. I know my teeth are extremely bad! I can easily feel the holes in my teeth. I have chunks of tooth dropping everytime I eat. What am I to do? I have looked everywhere online to get help here in Indiana and I get nothing anywhere close! I need to get this done fast! Like today It needs to get worked on! HELP!!!!!

Some dentists will set up a payment plan. You just have to talk to them. OR....if you don't mind credit cards, there's one called Care Credit. It's for Doctors, dentists, and vets only. You can apply online at their website, carecredit.com, or at your dentists' office if he's willing to do the paperwork for you. I have the card. I got it for emergency purposes like you. I dont' have insurance either and needed a filling replaced. Not cheap at $300. The card helped tremendously. Check it out if you don't mind having a credit card. But like I said, the card can only be used at doctor, dentists, and vet offices, so you'll have less chance of out of control spending on it.

My Filling came out of my tooth and have no dental....?

Does anyone have an estimate of how much a filling would cost to get done without dental insurance? My tooth is sharp and is stabbing my tongue. Do dentist let you make payment plans? I am 22 really have no one to consult with this since the dentist offices are closed in my area until Monday and parents are not around anymore.
--------------------
Most dentists will let you make payments - you usually have to bring SOME $ the day of the visit. My dentist charges about $75 for a filling. Over the weekend - you can go to a pharmacy & pick up a temporary filling kit. They work really well to get you through a couple of days. Good luck!
