I broke a tooth & I have no money or insurance. What do I do?

I started my biz a year ago and still have yet to take any type of pay. I need dental work really, really bad and do not have insurance or that type of money (even $200 bucks is way too much). What options do I have? I'm completely MAXED on credit, so a loan is definitely not an option. Is there anything the state of Illinois can help me with like cheap insurance or something? Thanks!

I have two composite resin fillings that have started to turn gray.Why are they doing this?

The first filling got a small gray spot that has expanded to the entire filling and the second one just started to do the same thing. I saw a dentist a year ago and he said there might be some decay but didnt say anything else about it. I don't have dental insurance so I am trying to prevent anything expensive in the future.
--------------------
Sometimes the fillings get discolored if those are not smooth enough. Ask your dentist to polish first to see if the filling can be restored. However, if there is decay then most likely you will need to get the fillings replaced. Make sure you get the fillings polished nicely after those are done to prevent quick discoloration.

Is it safe to chew on aspirin on a sore tooth, to releive toothache?

I have this tooth that I cracked a while ago. Unfortunately I just found out I am getting laid off, and I have no dental insurance... my tooth is THROBBING and feels like the nerve is dying... someone suggested to grind up or chew an aspirin on the tooth, and it will help with the pain. Is this true? Also, I am nursing still... is aspirin safe to cehw while nursing?
--------------------
DO NOT CHEW ON AN ASPIRIN. Swallow an anti-inflammatory. Double up on the dosage prescribed on the bottle. That will be prescription strength. And get to a Dentist ASAP. A broken tooth with an infection is worse for your baby than an aspirin. You need to get this taken care of soon.

I am looking for pet insurance that doesn't cost a arm and leg.?

I have 2 cats and would like to know of a trusted pet insurance carrier. It would have to be one that covers dental also. I am hoping to find one that is not a ton of money and has a low deductible. My cats are 13 yrs old. Can anyone help me here?
--------------------
I know it is very confusing when shopping for pet insurance. There are too many information out there and cause a case of information overload. No pet insurance are the same and you need to find one that tailors to your cat's need. You have to be careful when choosing because some insurance company place a low cap on their reimbursement even though you are paying for higher premiums. Some will have low deductibles but will not cover much illness or low coverage for accidents and diagnosis. Many insurance companies will not cover pre existing conditions. I cannot recommend one that stood out from the rest because what my cat needs might be different from what you need. However, there is a site with a lot of good and useful reviews on the insurance available that you can look into. http://www.petinsurancereview.com/ http://www.pet-insurance-info.com Some guidelines:- How old is your pet? The best time to purchase a pet health insurance policy is when your pet is young. Most pet health problems happen in the last two years of your pet's life. So, the younger your pet is, the better Is your breed prone to medical problems? While policy premiums are generally not based on breed, certain hereditary conditions are excluded. For instance, Persian cats are prone to polycystic kidney disease (PKD). You can still buy pet insurance for your Persian; just don't be surprised if it fails to cover related issues (some pet insurance policies may cover this, so check with your provider to make sure before you buy). Is your pet already sick? Most pet insurance providers won't cover pre-existing conditions. However, if you can prove your pet had a condition that has been cured, that may be covered. Can you choose your own veterinarian? For many pet owners, vet choice is key, and for good reason. Some pet insurance companies require you to use veterinarians on their own network. Others don't. As always, check with your provider regarding your choice of veterinarian. What is your pet's lifestyle? If your dog or cat spends most of his time outdoors, that will increase his/her risk of illness or injury. What is covered? Many pet owners purchase pet health insurance policies to protect themselves from the high cost of future medical problems. Others want regular pet care such as annual physical exams and routine checkups and cleanings. Just be advised that most standard pet insurance policies cover catastrophic accidents and illnesses. Routine vet visits tend to come as add-ons and/or riders. What State do you Live In? If you are searching on the internet for pet health insurance, you need to check this. Just because a provider does business online doesn't mean it services your state. Check The Insurance Company's Track Record Every state in the U.S. has an insurance commissioner. If the insurance company you are considering has had legal/ethical issues that should cause you concern, the insurance commissioner's office in your state or province should know about it. Check with them before you buy.

What level of insurance should the federal government provide?

This question goes out to those who believe in UHC of any kind. If you think that the government should stay out please state that, but my target for this question is for those who want UHC. What do you think should be provided? Premiums? How much? Deductible? Co-pay? How much? Health? Maximum? Dental? Vision? Chiropractic?

How much does it cost to have dental bleaching trays made?

I previously had some many years ago when my braces were removed and they have since been lost. Does anyone know the approximate cost to go to the dentist and have a set made? I have no insurance so this will be solely out of pocket.
--------------------
Prices vary from practice to practice. Your best bet would be to contact the offices in your area and ask them. I would think that you could have them made for $100.00 or less. Good luck
