I am a single mom and have no insurance b/c i cant afford it, but I went to a baylor clinic where the students pratice and they want 1400 dollars !!!! I just need something with a payment plan, or if you know someone that might happen to have a kind heart that does charity work for those that TRULEY need it.
--------------------
If you have/had an address in Arlington, you can go to the Mission in Arlington. The "old" (about three years ago) rate was $20 per visit, regardless of the required treatment. I would suggest you call them anyway, some of the doctors are willing to help out those in need even beyond volunteering their hours there. You could also visit South Texas Dental. I used to worjk there. They offer discounted rates on dental care. There are several locations throughout Dallas. They stay pretty busy, that's the only downside. If you'd like, you can e-mail me more information and I can make a phone call to help you get the ball rolling. They received some bad press awhile ago, but it is not a bad place to visit, otherwise the offices would have been closed. I can also give you the background info on that. There is a group of dentists that do charity work, but due to overwhelming need, it is very difficult to get on the list. You have to have extreme need and be wlling to be used as a case study, in some treatments. As I said, I'd be more than willing to help you out. Don't despair, there is help available to you.

Which job would you take?
I was offered two different jobs today. Here are the details 1. Second shift, 3:30 - 11:30 PM Monday - Friday from September to June (I live in Wisconsin where it snows during the winter), first shift from June until September, union job, pay starts at $11.09/hour and will go up to $13/hour by next July, full benefits including dental, medical and life insurance, long term disability, state retirement. I have done this type of job for 26 years and I HATE DOING IT!!!!! 2. First shift 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday - Friday and every third Saturday for 3 hours, non-union, pay starts at $10/hour and will go to $10.50/hour in 90 days, no dental insurance but has every other type of insurance as well as two retirement plans. This would be a new type of job for me and I would LOVE THIS JOB!!! Both jobs are 20 miles from where I live. Which should I choose? I have to let them know in the morning.

What's wrong with my jaw?
The right biting side of my jaw fits fine together, then the left side doesn't really match up well. Most of the time when I chew or open my mouth my jaw makes like a pop noise. What's wrong with me? I don't have dental insurance yet, so there's not much i can do. Would I have to get braces or like reconstructive jaw surgery or something?
--------------------
It sounds like TMJ. The full name: Tempromandibular Joint Dysfunction. I have had it since I was a pre-teen - and it sucks! It can cause pain in the jaw, and some NASTY headaches. There are specialists who can treat without surgery - and it's generally effective. I understand the no insurance thing though. What MY specialist told me to do was get a football mouth guard & put it in when I go to sleep. That was training my jaw to stay where it should. Then he got me a real bite splint to do the same thing. But the guard would help. Most people with this grind or clench their teeth during sleep or times of stress. You can Google the condition for more info. Good luck!!

Wisdom teeth questions?
Can anyone tell me, Do your wisdom teeth have to be all the way in before they can be removed? My top ones are almost all the way in, but my bottoms are just barely breaking through the gum tissue, But they HURT SO BAD!!! Also does anyone know about how much it would cost to remove them? I do not have dental insurance. Thanks for the help!
--------------------
When wisdom teeth do not break out of the gums, they are called "impacted". My son has 3 impacted ones. The oral surgeon said they usually aren't supposed to hurt unless they are getting infected or...well, the area around the tooth can create a bigger "hole" and this can cause serious problems. The "hole" can get bigger in the gums but then it progresses where there is a "cavern" starting in the bone down lower, carving out an empty indentation in the bone. This progresses slowly, but can cause real problems. Also there's a very sensitive nerve that runs where the roots of the teeth are growing in, and if you let the roots grow all the way and the teeth aren't moving up, then the roots will hit/grow through the nerve. So yes they need to probably come out. It is expensive though. My son's 3 teeth are costing us $800 and that's with insurance picking up almost half the bill. Is there a dental school near you? That's where I would take my son for years while he was younger to get all the work done. Did a good job, and ALOT less expensive. Or maybe a dental clinic that goes on income? Check it out. Hope all works out. Will send you healing thoughts.... Is there

Wisdom tooth coming in?
I'm pretty sure that my wisdom tooth is coming in, but just one. I feel it with my tongue, and I think half of it is out but the other half feels almost half stuck under the gumb. Is it supposed to hurt? It hurts a little, sort of like a teething pain. I don't have dental insurance...what should I do?
--------------------
It most likely is your wisdoms. Yes, they will hurt, but it varies person to person how much, depending on whether or not the tooth is impacted.(Growing in sideways) Some people have enough space in their mouths for their wisdoms, and they go through some pain as the tooth comes in but are otherwise fine. But if your mouth is crowded and you don't think there will be room....get yourself dental insurance. There's no huge rush. My wisdom teeth were "coming in" for like 8 years...but don't wait too long. Waiting too long can make your teeth shift or damage nerves in your mouth. My advice would be to see a doctor and get x-rays so he can tell you if you'll have enough room for them or not. Note: All dentists will tell you that your wisdoms HAVE to come out. That's not true- they just like making money like everybody else. Make sure to specifically ask the dentist if you have enough room or not. Ask to see the x-ray if he doesn't show you.

Which is better: paying for braces out of pocket or with an dental PPO plan?
Insurances confuse me... :)
