In other words, if a health insurance plan does not cover normal dental work (checkups, fillings, etc), is oral surgery considered a whole different thing? If so, how often is it covered (particularly wisdom teeth removal)? Thanks!
--------------------
My dental plan considers this Oral surgery and so would not pay. My medical plan considers anything they have to pay for as not covered and so I had my Wisdom tooth extracted without anesthesia(I didn't have $800.00). It was impacted took 6 hours to extract in several peaces along with part of my jaw. I felt every last bit(except for a few seconds when I passed out and fell out of the chair)

I am 31 and have only really 7 good teeth in my mouth. Can't afford the dental work... have insurance. Ideas?
So my teeth are horrible i have only really two teeth left on the top others are broken or i have done self dentistry because i can't afford to go to the dentist even with my fear of the dentist i want to go. My self esteem is horrible i have to watch what i eat. I never smile, and i have constant headaches and tooth aches. I know my mouth is infected but i need like 10,000 in work done. 14 teeth pulled... partial plate on bottom full plate on top. Anyone have any ideas. I tried the local dental college they wanted payment upfront as well for the extractions ... i am at my wits end... and my self image and esteem are at rock bottom. Help anyone???

Any Universities around you or in the next town. All Universities have dental colleges, and the students under their teachers supervision will work on your teeth and charge only a fraction of the cost of a dentist. I have never heard of them wanting a payment up front, Write the president of the dental college a letter, and explain yourself just as you have here. Also look in the yellow pages and find a free clinic near you. A Doctor there may know how to help you. All Doctors do some pro bono work, dentists too. You just have to find one. This is why the United States needs Health Care. Too many people are doing without. I wish you luck.

I live in the Middle Georgia area and need help with some dental work. Does anyone know what i can do ?
I don't have dental insurance and my credit isn't in good shape to get it on a payment plan so if there is anything i can do let me know. They really bother me and I really feel bad going into public by the way they look and i really do want help and i want to see a denist to do something about it so if there is anything i can do Please let me know... Please no smart a$$es

Find the closest university offering a dental training program. They have public clinics to train their advanced students. All work is supervised by a licensed dentist. Rates are much cheaper than what you would pay a private dentist. good luck!

Anyone know how to get Dental help in Boise, Idaho with no Insurance?
Im 29 years old. I have not been to the dentist since the early 90's when I had my braces taken off. I recently went to a Local Dental office because of a coupon I received in the mail... To my surprise I have only 4 cavities...not bad. But I guess I have periodontal issues and a severe case of Gum Disease. They are recommending that I have ALL of my teeth pulled and that I either get Dentures or Implants. I don't have insurance, not even medical. I am Diabetic, and have a hereditary health issues that also coincide with that. ANyone know how does a person get good...if ANY dental help in this day and age? I Also don't have a lot of money...and that Dental Care credit thing is out.

Check with your local health department and dental schools. They can sometimes treat you even for free at dental schools since they are 3rd year students supervised by dentists.

Do you need dental coverage to have your wisdom teeth out?
My husband's wisdom teeth are causing a lot of pain. He really needs to have them out but we don't have dental coverage. Is oral surgery covered by regular insurance or is it included in dental? We have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and we pay for it out of pocket.
--------------------
If the teeth are fully bony impacted or partial bony impacted, extraction is generally covered under a medical insurance policy. That's the key though - fully or partially impacted in the bone. (With wisdom teeth, that's generally the case.) You can call your insurance company to confirm whether you have a benefit for impacted teeth, and if so...which oral surgeons are in the network? And then confirm with the provider whether your husband's teeth are fully or partially bony impacted.
