I was wondering if anyone here knows how much a prophylaxis (cleaning) at an holistic dentist costs for one without dental insurance?

YOU ARE LOOKING AT APPROXIMATELY $100.00 WITH X-RAYS

Should I elect to get my wisdom teeth pulled? Will my teeth shift or my gums shrink?
When i was a teen I had bad crowding and had 4 teeth pulled in order to have braces. During college, my bottom left wisdom tooth (they've all grown out) got a bad cavity, and since i was a broke student, I decided to just get it pulled out rather than spend a fortune on a root canal. Now i'm working full time and have good dental insurance. When i went in for a checkup, my dentist pointed out that my top left wisdom tooth had grown out further than the rest b/c the bottom one had been extracted and there is space. My top right wisdom tooth on the other hand sticks out a bit, causing me to accidentally bite my cheek from time to time. I was referred to an Orthodontist and advised to have both these upper wisdom teeth pulled to prevent future problems. My bottom right wisdom tooth is fine and doesn't need to be pulled. While I trust the dentist's advice, I'm apprehensive of having 2 more permanent teeth pulled, making a total of 7! I don't experience any pain of discomfort.

Press your dentist for an alternative. If you are not happy with his advice go to a different dentist. Your gum will shrink and the shape of your face will be different. Avoid extraction wherever possible. But if a tooth gives persistent problems root canal treatments are not always a success and can give persistent problems. Perhaps try several more dentists for advice. It is you have to live with your teeth not the dentist. I have lost 3 of the 4 teeth before the wisdom teeth. If I had my wisdom teeth pulled I would be without any back teeth. Wisdom teeth can be an insurance against losing other teeth

I have never been to the dentist and I am 20 years old? I am so embarassed- what should I do?
My parents never had dental insurance and could not afford it out of pocket. Now I am embarrassed. I have very bad crooked teeth and I want to go so bad-- I don't care if I pay out of pocket. I am just embarrassed to go.

Is it possible to get top braces only?
I'm 22 and want braces. My bottom teeth are straight, but I definitely need top ones. Do orthodontists usually do a full set or will they do just the top? I started a second job in order to save up. It sucks that dental insurance doesn't help cover the expensive cost.

yup it is possible

What can I do to keep my mouth healthy?
I am one of the millions of people who are living life uninsured. I do not have dental insurance, and I have not been able to go to the dentist in about 5yrs. I can tell that I already have cavities...but I could never afford to go in and get them taken care of. I wanna know what I can do to keep my mouth and teeth healthy, besides the usual brush and floss, and mouth wash.
--------------------
1) Drink plenty of water or get a fluoride rinse. I wouldn't do both unless prescribed to do so. This only helps the enamel regenerate. It helps prevent cavities, not remove them. 2) Chew gum with xylitol (sp). 3) Go to the dentist ASAP. A cavity can be filled and cost $200. You can get a root canal if you don't catch a cavity in time and cost you more than $1500. A lost tooth due to a decay and can be replaced can cost more than $4000. If cost is an issue, you can get "health cards", which are credit cards for health issues (like dental). https://www.citicards.com/cards/portal/h… is an example. You can also go to dental school for cheaper rates. Don' worry, the students are monitored. You may be there longer, but it's cheaper.
