Ive been looking over the web but havent found what ive been looking for. My teeth are bad, but I cant afford to have them pull the teeth and get false teeth. Im not on welfare, so I cant have it done for free, yet i dont make enough at work to have any serious work done. Is there any kind of program or lower cost dental insurance out there that I can turn to that would help someone who is stuck between the income brackets to get the dental care I need?

Try to find a Dental School in a local Hospital or University. They often have cheap or free clinics where supervised students do the work. The instructors make sure all work is up to standard.

wisdom teeth?
I have to get 4 wisdom teeth removed but I have to have surgery to have them removed because they have not come out all the why and most likely they wont. I dont have dental insurance so I wanted to see if anyone else without insurance has gotten their wisdom teeth surgically removed and about how much it cost you?
--------------------
Good luck on that. My bill came out to 700 for only 2 teeth. I only had to pay 100.00 my insurance paid for the rest. all the money comes from the anesthesia. Dont be put to sleep that is an extra 3-400 dollars. I wasn't and didn't feel a thing just a little pulling... trust me have them numb it its a lot less cheaper.

Jaw surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America. Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star. http://www.indianhealthguru.com Hope this helps.

Another question about TMJ.?
I am developing TMJ due to a poor bite and bruxism. I already wear a night-time splint. My dentist wants to refer me to an orthodontist for braces and what ever else needs to be done to fix my bite. I am 28, my dental insurance does not cover ortho for anyone over 18. I have had some work done, 2 root canals+crowns, fillings, but they say I have solid bone structure and could fix my bite. It will cost alot of $$$ do you think it is worth it?
--------------------
I would get the braces. TMJ pain is nothing to play with and the pain could get worse as you get older.

TMJ pain on left side?
my jaw was hit on the right side of my face but my left ear is hurting badly..... and it hurts to open my mouth all the way. does anyone out there know what to do about this besides go to the Dr. I have no medical or dental insurance
--------------------
TMJ can lead to other problems. Since you don't have insurance, consider going to a local dental school for treatment. Work is done by advanced students & supervised by faculty members. Services are offered at a nominal fee. Patients get the care they need & students are given hands on experience under their teachers' supervision.

HELP!!! MY filling in my tooth fell out!!!?
Okay so last night the filling in my tooth fell out & now there is a HUGE gapping hole in my tooth! I was told that you can get temporary filling kits at drug stores & they last at least a few weeks? CAn anyone reccomend a brand or tell me a type to get as Ive never heard of this & am in desperate need!! I dont have dental insurance untill Dec. & cant afford to go to the dentist till I get it, there are no dentists in my area that allow payment palns so I need to fix this untill Im insured....Thanks so much

I can not remeber the brand name. But they have them by the toothpaste and orthadontic wax. I have done this twice. they have both a type you have to mix up the paste yourself and one already mixed--check the directions and get the pre-mixed if you have a choice. It is not very expensive--maybe $5. They will hold you until you can get to the dentist. Although they say you can eat on them--do it very carefully and try to avoid. They actually work pretty well. Before using wash your mouth out good with salt water and make sure it real dry. If this does not hold you--and there is still pain--you best contact a doctor, dentist somehow--try an emergency room.
