My husband showers at work because he has a very dusty nasty job. He normally does not shower here at home daily. My biggest problem is that he doesn't brush his teeth regularly. I (like a parent) tell him to do so. I usually will not kiss him until he does brush his teeth. We had not had dental insurance until recently, but how do I get him to realize this is a problem? How can I not hurt his feelings but let him know? Tactfully please....Thank you!

Get him a dental appointment. Hopefully he'll have some issues and the dentist will break out the needles and drills. Talk about dental/gum health with him. Just in general, not accusatory. Find a website with pictures of nasty teeth and gums and show him what happens if you don't take care of your teeth. Get him a new toothbrush that he loves? This is his parents fault, not yours.My mother always stressed the importance of dental care when I was growing up, I don't think his did. I was in the same situation and after getting his first cavity (he was 32) he really perked up and starting taking better care of his teeth. I think this is more common than not, I've had girlfriends with the same problem. Guys..whats the deal here???? Good luck ;)

can someone help me find a reasonable dentist in St. Louis, MO?
I need bridges, caps, crowns and extracts I have been told that would cost me $17000. Yes that cost is right, I have dental insurance but to get one bridge is $1500. I need 6 bridges, about 7 or 8 caps and other things these where just major issues that cost the most.

Dr. Thomas Flavin, he is a great dentist with great prices and will work out a payment plan. His office staff is incredibly nice also. He is located on Watson right by Ted Drewes.

Ok, my husband needs full DEEPcleaning on all his mouth.. top and bottom..two teeth extracted and a root canal
we have no dental insurance..... how much should that run? thank you

Check and see if there are any dental schools in your area. They need patients to perfect their skills. This is all done under the supervision of an instructor. My son did this when his girlfriend was testing for her dental hygenist program.

What can I do about broken teeth?....?
I was down for a week with a really bad case of the flu and decided I was well enough to get out last night. While standing in line at the bowling alley, I became hot and disoriented and then I proceeded to pass out. When I fell, I landed on my mouth, thus breaking four teeth on the upper row between my canines. I went to the emergency room where they ran some tests and told me that I passed out from being dehydrated. The doctor figures I lost a lot of fluids during the past week while I had been sick. Anyway, here I am with no medical/dental insurance and four broken teeth. I MUST repair them.. as long as they are broken, I'll never get a good job and I can say goodbye to ever having a date. I am a musician, so I depend on my voice to make a living.... now I don't even have that. The way my teeth are sitting currently, it's hard to sound normal when I sing.... Anyway, has anyone out there been through this before?... What can I do?... Please help, I could certainly use some good advic

You need a dental plan that will cover all dental work needed, right away. So, no waiting periods, no annual maximums. Also, the bigger the discount the better so you don't break the bank. I recommend the eHealthPlus membership. You can sign up online and get help on Monday. Good luck.

Now that everyone has health care... can southern conservatives save their?
money to buy dental insurance they sure have bad teeth.
--------------------
Well, the United Kingdom has enjoyed free health care for some time now, and there's not a nation in the world that envies British teeth. I suspect that yanks will soon find themselves flashing yellowish-green smiles. But don't worry. Barack Obama's teeth will still shine, since he's exempted himself from the care he believes you so richly deserve.

There is a white spot on my gums?
It painful. It's been there for a week. Any idea what it could be? I currently don't have dental insurance so ... yeah. Picture: http://sv.tinypic.com/r/35lewso/7
--------------------
The most common reason for white spots on gums is thrush, a fungal disease. It is not serious, but it should be treated if it doesn't go away on its own. Give it another week or two, and if it is still there or gets larger, then make an appointment with either your doctor or dentist. The second most common cause of white spots is leukoplakia, which actually means "white plaque." This is most likely to occur after irritation, such as from some whitening products or from smoking. Again, a visit to the doctor is called for if it doesn't resolve itself. Good luck, and I hope this helps.

I was told u can have your teeth fixed by a Dental Student at no cost for practice is this true?
I was once told that if I could find a Dental Student in practice I could have my teeth fixed a little or no cost, and it would provide practice to the student. I am willing to try anything to get my teeth fixed, I am a working mother and can not afford the insurance that is provided. It is embarrassing to even smile anymore. I brush my teeth more than twice a day and floss, it's not that I don't take care of my teeth I had a iron deficiency as a child and the liquid iron that I took tarnished and decayed my teeth. My 4yr old stares at my teeth and asks me whats wrong with them and I could almost cry. If anyone has any ideas of what I can do to fix this problem please let me know :(!
