Wisdom teeth extraction costs (CA) ?

I have my wisdom teeth coming in and they need to be pulled out asap. I found a dentist that can pull out the two bottom ones for $495. I have no dental insurance and am not currently working, does anyone know of any other low-cost dentist in southern Cali who may do it for less than what I was quoted? I heard there are some clinics that charge based on your income. Does anyone know of any??? Please help. And thanks.

Cavity tooth ache?

As an uncommited estimate, what do you think a fair price is to fill a tooth cavity? Have no dental insurance in California
--------------------
depends on what filling you need or want. Amalgam is cheaper but composite fillings are expensive.

Wisdom tooth pain?

A wisdom tooth on the bottom of my mouth has fully erupted and looks decently aligned with the rest of my teeth. It is somewhat translucent. I've not had major pain with it until the last few days which have been very difficult. The entire gum area is sore, and even one side of my tongue is quite sore. Does this sound like an infection? I had chewed gum earlier this week, which I never do. I'm reticent to go to a dentist immediately as I don't have dental insurance, but will probably have it by October of this year.
--------------------
pericorinitis, infection of the gums surrounding the wisdom tooth. Take some antibiotics & pain killers along wit a muscular relaxent. Gargle with warm salt water regulerly. It will go after few days. If it comes again, get it removed.

my tooth broke off?

I have dental insurance and will go on monday. I was wondering what if possible can be done. IT is my front tooth. I was eating and it broke really far up..It had a crown on there from years back.
--------------------
If it's a crown, then there's no need to put it in milk. Just how really far up are we talking about? Is the root involved? If it is just the crown with no actual tooth being broken off, then your dentist can just cement it back on (probably not for free though). If a part of the root came along with it then you'll need root canal and a post along with cementing that crown (if it's in good condition). Hard to tell without actually looking at your tooth.

Infected Wisdom Gums?

I had my wisdom teeth taken out around a year ago and for the past few months i've had alot of pressure in the area and recently its gotten worse..mostly after i eat...and my eye blood vessel popped..could this be related? and could it be something worse than infection?? Not sure what to do....I don't have dental insurance so i'm not sure what i can do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also the person who took out my wisdom teeth are in another state now so i can't go see them.
--------------------
swish around some warm salt water a couple times a day. Also dip a soft cloth in salt water a massage the effected area lightly. If the pain continues,you will need to get it checked out by an oral surgeon. Check to see if your local county or state gov. offer low cost care for low income or uninsured patients.

Florida Teaching Hospitals?

Are there any teaching hospitals on the panhandle of Florida that deal in dentistry? Or does anyone know of another cheap way to get a filling without dental insurance? Maybe a chain of dentists(like Perfect Teeth)?
