Hi, Does anyone know of a good dentist in the Lithonia, GA or Decatur, GA, or Stone Mountain, GA area? Especially one that works with kids? We also have Delta Dental insurance plan. I appreciate any names that you could give me! Thanks

Horizontal Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
I am 17 years old and the dentist has found that I have two horizontally impacted wisdom teeth on the bottom. I was wondering how much it would cost to remove them (I live in Florida). I was also wondering that how soon should I get the surgery because I did have braces and i don't want to mess up the alignment. Other info is that I have Sunlife Dental Insurance with only a policy of up to $1500, and I have already used up $900.

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'?
--------------------
Hmmm. Obesity, tooth decay, heart attacks. Yep, have to agree with you there. Diabetes? Where the hell did you get the idea that diabetes is solely caused by what we consume? You had a great premise going and then almost totally ruined it with your ignorance of this condition. While diabetes CAN have a dietary and/or lifestyle cause, it is generally caused by some other factor (ie genetics, age etc.). The link I've provided below should get you up to speed on it. Otherwise, great question. Heart attacks can also have various causes (ie an injury, resulting in a venal or arterial blood-clot that travels through the heart) although the major cause is, indeed, dietary. Even obesity can have an underlying cause, other than solely dietary. An underactive thyroid gland (Hypothyroidism), if untreated, can cause massive weight-gain and lead to obesity, among other problems. Some obese people suffer from a form of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), which causes them to form an obsession with food and to eat compulsively. Again, though, the major cause of obesity is not an underlying illness, but is solely dietary. Tooth decay IS solely dietary, although following a strict oral hygiene routine can reduce the incidences dramatically. While I agree that these 3 are raising Health & dental care costs, I don't believe the answer lies in making anything illegal. Better education is the answer - it isn't good enough to say that fatty foods could make you obese, or that excessive amounts of candy will give you toth decay. That said, can you really see the soft-drink/candy manufacturers or the giant fast-food chains allowing this? Or how about the health/dental insurance companies and health/dental care providers? No. There's too much profit to be lost.

Teeth xrays and cleaning question..?
It's been awhile since I have been to a dentist to get a check up or a cleaning, or anything along those lines. I have been having really sensitive teeth and want to get xrays to make sure nothing is wrong with them, and they are gray/clear on the tips of some of them. I am worried and I was wondering how much this may be. I know it won't be exact since it varies, but just an approx. amount will help me out. *I also have dental insurance.
--------------------
Most dental insurances cover x-rays, exams, and cleanings at 100% so you don't have to pay anything. You can always call your insurance company to check or call your dentist office and they can check for you.

Will retainers re-straighten my teeth?
I wore braces for over a year, but got them off over 4 years ago. Since then I've supposed to have been wearing two retainers (top and bottom) at night. About 10 months ago I stopped wearing them, since I figured I probably didn't have to wear them at night my whole life and since I'd rarely missed my teeth would be fine. Lately I've noticed that my bottom teeth are a bit crooked again, and the retainers don't fit very well. If I start wearing them again, will they straighten my teeth back? I don't have good dental insurance so I can't afford an orthodonist visit.
--------------------
It is possible that the retainers may help to realign your teeth back. But if your teeth have shifted too much, it may be too late for the retainer to get them back to where they need to be. I know you indicated that you don't have good dental insurance, but check with the orthodontist's office to see if any follow-up visits may still be covered by what you had already paid. It will probably be a whole lot cheaper to get the problem fixed now then to wait several years from now. Unfortunately the teeth will probably continue to shift. Try the retainers first. Your mouth will probably be a little sensitive while your teeth keep shifting. If you continue to go without your retainer, your teeth will keep shifting. All orthodontist should give brace wearers a big flashing sign of the importance of the retainers after the braces are removed. I sure hope that it's not too late and the retainer still fits to get your teeth realigned.

Should I save my tooth?
I have to decide whether or not to have a tooth extracted ($300) or have a root canal with crown ($2200). It's an upper back molar and won't be noticeable and I can learn to chew without it, but the idea of losing a tooth really freaks me out. I have no dental insurance and my husband and I have both been laid off and are looking for work. What would you do??
