Medical insurance. We are going for her DEER ID tomorrow. What do I do after that? The paperwork he sent from the base gave a # for personnel at Fort Sill, but they NEVER answer. There's no # included for the insurance-(only TriCare Dental). How do we go about getting her medical ID? I don't even know the name of the insurance carrier. Thanks.
--------------------
Once her information was entered into DEERS she was automatically enrolled into Tricare Standard. With Standard she goes to a civilian provider that is approved and there is a co-pay and yearly deductible. When she gets her ID card she can then go to the base hospital and change to Tricare Prime. With Prime there is no co-pay or deductible, but she is seen on base with her PCM (Primary Care manager) for any other appointments she can need a referral from the PCM. She will not start with Prime until August 1st unless there is an emergency because she is enrolling after the 20th of the month. She will receive her Tricare card in the mail http://www.tricare.mil With Dental that is separate through United Concordia. For that she must sign up first and pay the first month, after that it is deducted from his pay. http://www.tricaredentalprogram.com/tdpt… It is $13 for 1 dependent or $31 for a family. This coverage includes 2 free cleanings a year, then a co-pay on each visit when work is necessary.

Help: Root Canal or Tooth removal?
I am scared and broke....but I have dental insurance...
--------------------
~Your dentist will decide which one is best. They usually try to save the tooth in as much as they can. Root canals and the subsequent crown you'll need are expensive even with insurance, I had one 6 months ago and my out of pocket was $500.00, the rest was covered by insurance (which was close to $1,000 - insurance covered 80% of the surgery and 50% of the crown) I have had 2 in my life, and fortunately did not duffer any pain afterwards, but some people do have a horrible time of them. Some dentinst do not allow payment plans either... I had to fork $100 deposit when I made the appointment, and the rest right before the surgery. Don't be scared, you will not feel a thing when they do whatever it is you'll end up needing, and you'll get good meds for afterwards, Good Luck!!

Crater in tooth?!?
A crater has developed on the side of one of my teeth. It's as though the the enamel has literally exploded away in a circular fashion and left a dented brown hole. My dental insurance kicks in in a couple of weeks. At that point, I will get this checked out ASAP. Until then, any suggestions?
--------------------
go to the pharmacy and find some temporary filling stuff... if not that then make sure to keep the cavity clear.

Cracked tooth..now what?
I went to the dentist yesterday for the 4th time about the pain in my tooth when I bite. Part of the pain was being caused by a filling that was too high. The tooth on the top however is a different story. After much searching the dentist said she could see a crack in my molar! That's what has been causing this pain! I asked her if it was really bad and she said that if I wasn't having problems with it, that it probably wouldn't have been treated. Here's the problem, I have already used up my plan allowance on my dental insurance for the year. I need a crown and I'm broke! Is this something can can be left untreated for at least 6 months? Or, should I suck it up, take out a signature loan with the bank and have it done right away? In the mean time, what can I do to help with the pain until I see my dentist for the crown prep?
--------------------
IF you wait you could lose the tooth all together. I would get the tooth done right away. However, if the crack is not that bad it could make it. But all it takes is biting the wrong way or on somethig to hard and the whole tooth could just fall apart.
