So, as of right now, I have no dental insurace. My wisdom teeth are growing in and making my other teeth crooked. I would like to get my wisdom teeth pulled and ceramic braces put on. Any ideas on what kind of dental insurace I should get, and with what provider? I don't know the first think about insurance.
--------------------
You can purchase individual dental insurance plans. However, most of them have a 12-month waiting period before they will cover major work like extractions, bridges or crowns. Even then, the insurance usually only covers about 50%.

wisdom teeth, no dental insurance!?
my wisdom tooth on the bottom right has been a menace for more than a year now...but now he's out of control. my gums are swollen, bleeding and it just plain hurts. eating is unpleasant. and it's just an unpleasant thing all around. i have no dental insurance. are there any alternatives as to how i can take care of this or do you know of any program that assists with dental care? thanks :)

Hey, so yes its unfortunate you dont have dental insurance.. but there is a reason that dentists take out your wisdom teeth, they can grow in crooked, displacing all your other teeth, or develop an infection or absess since they are hard to clean, ESPECIALLY if its swollen and bleeding, that will sometimes indicate an infection. Try a dental school, I am currently in dental hygiene school and we do treatment for a fraction of the cost, and it may sound scary that its a student but dont be worried, there are many instructors watching their every move and double checking everything that is done to ensure your safety Make sure you brush, floss and use mouthwash in the time being to reduce the number of bacteria in your mouth so your less likely to get an infection or a worse one good luck

I have a loose tooth on my bottom row..I dont have dental insurance for another month...?
Is there anyway to make the tooth thats lose "unloose"? (unloose probably isnt a word, lol, but i cant think of another way to put it). I brush my teeth and floss 3-4 times a day, and i also have braces. I really dont want to lose my tooth, and I cant go to the dentist, what should I do?
--------------------
you should be seeing your orthodontist at least once a month so why not ask them? your teeth will be loose with braces, that's how the teeth move around. my lower front teeth are slightly mobile with a firm press of the tongue but it's not visible to the eye, i can only feel it. the front teeth are single rooted and if are slightly loose you will feel it.
