or a dental implant does not cost upwards of $4,000, or that comprehensive health insurance for a healthy family of 4 does not cost the employer and employee a combined $15,000 a year in annual premiums?. Please, I am talking commons sense practical changes that make sense and would put strong downward pressure on prices of healthcare in the USA.

My crown is falling out...what can I do?
I have two crowns (after root canals )in the front of my mouth on the top. one of my front teeth and then the one beside it. the front one started to wiggle and eventually fell out. now the one beside it is doing the same thing!!!! I don't have dental insurance so I have to go when I can afford it, and being a woman...this is quite embarrassing. Why would this be happening? Also..when the dentist put the first one back in...it hurt and he said that I shouldn't feel it at all. Any suggestions?
--------------------
This exact same thing happened to me! My dentist would not re cement for free, I needed a post inserted. Ugh, so I started using this temporary dental cement made especially for crowns, bought it at Walgreens for about $5 It was not very good, my tooth would be loose by the end of the day, I couldn't eat or say anything starting with a F. So, I got ghetto and put a tiny dab of superglue, it worked for like 6 months until I could save the money to get a post put in my mouth. The dentist wasn't too happy but he said he's seen worse. I was not about to walk around with missing front teeth. I wonder why it hurt when he put the crown back in, you should have root canals where your crowns are. I hope it isn't something else like an abcess.

Health Insurance???
I am needing to find a health insurance plan for my family. It will be for my husband & I and our 2 girls. I am looking for something that will cover it all....health, dental, vision....whatever. If anyone can kind of point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Or if you have any tips for me. I really don't even know where to begin.... Oh and my husband is self employed....he's an independent contractor (if that helps at all)

There is no one best company and with health insurance you get what you pay for. Visit a local agent that works with all the major companies in your area. The agent can find the best plan for your situation and budget and can explain what you get and, more importantly, what you won't get with any plan. There is no extra charge using an agent. Most individual policies don't include dental and vision. Some will have limited dental and vision as an optional benefit at an additional cost but when you do the math you are generally better off without the coverage. The agent can show you the plans with this option. Do not try to do this over the internet. It'll take you several days to intelligently compare all the plans available. Also, if you have any pre-existing conditions that might add a rider to the policy, cause you to be declined, or if you are out of the height and weight guidelines you won't know until you've applied and gone through the underwriting process.

Hole in my back tooth. Is Mexico a good place to go to get this filled?
A co worker informed me that when she had her two children, two of her teeth feel out (just crumbled) since the calcium was sucked out of her bones. She said she went to Mexico to get them filled. Is this is a good idea and how much would it cost if I did go? I don't have dental insurance and I don't want my tooth pulled! thanks
--------------------
I live in San Diego which is like 20 minutes from Mexico and alot of my friends go to Mexico for dental work. I guess you can get the work done for like 1/3 of the cost. Many of the dentists have gone to school in the US and speak english etc. but work in Mexico. If I didn't have dental insurance I would definitely consider it.

Does Tricare Standard have optical and dental?
My husband was recalled by the US Army this January, and all I know is now I have Tricare Standard insurance. Does anybody know if it has optical or dental?
--------------------
Dental is not covered in your Tricare prime or standard. You have to go to Tricare to get a form for dental and send a your fist payment with the form and it usually can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to be enrolled in dental. From there on out you have to pay like 11 dollars a month for individual dental and like 20 for family and it will be taken directly from you marines pay.

My daughter had surgery to remove an impacted tooth. Did I get cheated?
The dentist/oral surgeon wanted to do the operation at a hospital instead of his office. Everything went great untill I had to pay for it. I got stuck with the entire bill, because my dental insurance said "it was a medical proceadure" and my medical insurance said "it was a dental proceadure. What can I do to make these dead beat insurance anancys pay their part?
--------------------
No, you have to appeal it. I'm assuming your daughter was pretty young, and needed a general anesthesia. I actually had to have a dental procedure done on one of my babies for medical reasons - he was born severely tongue tied. Same thing. It took six months of followups to get paid. Dental denied as voluntary, medical denies as dental, lots of letter writing and phone calls, but there was a feeding issue so it had to be done. And it got done. Just stay polite when you talk to the morons at the insurance company, and you'll get farther, faster.

Health insurance. Is it worth it? Wouldn't it be cheaper to pay out of pocket?
My job does not offer insurance and even my husbands job offers expensive insurance that would cost us over $115 a month for health and dental for us. All we want is two dental cleanings a year and one or two visits to the doctor for when we get the flu (which we do get, every year). Wouldn't it be cheaper just to pay for the doctor visit instead of paying hundreds to an insurance company only to get half off at the doctor?
--------------------
If you don't go to the doctors often, do not get it, Your wasting your money. If you do go the doctor often, every year, then I suggest having it. Out of pocket in the end will be more expensive with the cost of medication. .
