So on my left side, my 2 last molars (one on the top and one on the bottom) have had cavities in them for a while because I hate going to the dentist. So should I get a root canal or extraction? I'm 18 years old and my family doesn't have that much money to spend on dental work. Also, we don't have dental insurance... So if I were to get an extraction, I wouldn't need an implant or bridge right? because if i get both the top and bottom molar out (on the same left side), then they won't be bothering each other. So I wouldn't need an implant or bridge right? Maybe a partial denture in the beginning healing time or something. So yeah, if anyone can help with suggestions? Thanks a lot guys!
--------------------
Okay, if you are talking about your 3rd molars (aka Wisdom teeth) then most people need to have them extracted. Now if you are talking 2nd molars, you have more to think about. Ask any [elderly] person with a partial denture or full denture about teeth and I'll bet you hear, "I wish I would have taken care of my teeth." If at all possible, especially since you're 18 with years and years yet to chew, try to keep them by the root canals and crowns. The cost per procedure, per tooth varies some at different offices so get all pricing info in writing. (I'd say over $1000+ each) Implants could be a possibility later as they would fill in for the teeth that were extracted but they can also be costly and more involved. Your dental office will be able to go over all of the different options and costs and hopefully offer some payment plans. Oh, if you are scared or nervous with the dentist then tell them so they can help you. And remember... brush brush brush and floss floss floss... (it might have saved you from this problem)

Can I go to the ER to get my tooth pulled if I can't stand the pain?
After visiting a dentist for the first time in several years, I was told I needed 2 root canals as soon as possible. I have no dental insurance and I cannot afford to pay over $1000 for both root canals. But both teeth are causing so much excruciating pain that I can't sleep at night. The pain shoots through the left side of my mouth and throbs in my jaw. This has been happening for the past week and as the days pass, the pain intensifies and lingers for longer periods of time. I have to take 4-6 500mg Aleve or Naproxen everyday to get rid of the pain. I'm at the point of tears. If I go to the emergency room, will they be able to pull both teeth and cease the pain forever? I have health insurance through my parents.
--------------------
The E.R or any other non-dentist WILL NOT pull teeth. Trust me, I've had 5 pulled out of my skull. It's about $150 per tooth if it's not too decayed to pull without breaking. If they won't pull it at the first dentist you went to, find one that will.

Abcess or infected toth?
My mouth started hurting yesterday. Right where my wisdom tooth is. I'm wondering if it may be an abcess or and infection. Don't tell me to see a dentist, I can't afford it and don't have dental insurance. Anyways, it hurts, and it's even made it painful to swallow. I've also heard that it can be caused by sinus problems, which also makes me wonder because I've been having serious sinus headaches for the last few weeks. Has anyone else had this problem and what was it and what did you do? I tried researching it a little bit but I'm not getting any real answers. I want to avoid the dentist if at all possible. Like I said, no insurance, cant afford much, and I just started a new job a few weeks ago and I don't think I can get the time off for an appointment. Let me know what what you guys think.
--------------------
I know the feeling and have been there. Hold Listerine on the tooth for severl minutes 3-4- times a day.

JOE LEGAL VS JOE ILLEGAL?????
This is one major reason California is on the brink of bankruptcy! WHAT AN EYE OPENER!!! Joe Legal vs. Jose Illegal Here is an example of why hiring illegal aliens is not economically productive for the State of California ... You have 2 families..."Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California. "Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted...."Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has "NO" Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table". Joe Legal...$25.00 per hour x 40 hours $1000.00 per week, $52,000 per year Now take 30% away for state and federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00 Jose Illegal...$15.00 per hour x 40 hours $600.00 per week, $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes... Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00 Joe Legal pays Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage $1000.00 per month $12,000.00 per year Joe Legal now has $19,231.00 Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00 Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for Food Stamps or welfare Joe Legal pays for food $1,000.00 per month $12,000.00 per year Joe Legal now has $ 7,231.00 Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200..00 Joe Legal pays rent of $1,000..00 per month $12,000.00 per year Joe Legal is now in the hole minus (-) $4,769.00 Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy Jose Illegal pays rent $500.00 per month $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $25,200.00 Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work to break even. Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family. Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home. Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services. Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay. Why would you support any politician that supports illegal aliens? Its PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans and vote these people out regardless of their part affiliation!

Jose is still illegal and should not even be considered for anything.

What's your perspective on dentures/braces/or jacked up teeth for a 21 year old?
K so my teeth or messed up. When I was a teenager I used to be stupid & bulimic so I have a lot of cavities that hurt. I dont' have dental insurance but I'm about to get it. I'm trying to figure what's best for me. I am thinking about getting braces. Regular ones because they are cheaper and I will have tricare insurance. The thing is I'm 21 and I think I might look gross with braces. That's why I'm thinking of dentures. Because then I'll have straight teeth right away and my husband didn't seem to care at all.
--------------------
Definitely do the braces. They are temporary, if you get all your teeth pulled out, that's permanent! Braces are different now, you only have to wear them for like, 16-18 months now. Good luck hun.

Getting married while in college (financial issues)?
Me and my fiance have been together 6 years and want to get married this summer. Our parents have agreed to pay for the wedding, but we are looking into how getting married will change our financial status. How will we get medical, eye, and dental insurance? Will we still be able to get school loans? Can our parents still cosign a loan if we aren't dependent on them? We each take out 20,000 a year in loans for school and we have 4 more years to go before he is a pharmacist and I am a mental health therapist. We dont want to get married and then find out we cant get loans or insurance and not be able to finish college. Any advice???
--------------------
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! 1. Insurance: you have three options for insurance. Most people get it through their employer, but if neither of you have an employer that offers insurance, you'll have to take a different option. Some universities have programs for students, so check with your school. Other than that, you can just go see an insurance agent and buy private pay insurance. You can start with your car insurance agent, and if s/he doesn't sell health/eye/dental insurance, s/he can probably recommend somebody. 2. Yes, you can still apply for and qualify for student loans. However, you need to be careful and not take out a lot of loans for a career that isn't going to pay a lot. My husband works in the student loan industry, and he's had teachers making $28k a year calling because they can't pay off their $80k in student loans. Well, duh. If you're only going to be making $28k a year, you probably shouldn't take out that much in student loans. To be honest, it looks like the two of you are heading in that direction. If you're PLANNING on taking out $160,000 in the next four years -- on top of whatever loans you already have -- before either of you has a job, and your jobs are not going to pay six figures when you graduate (and they won't), you are setting yourself up for financial catastrophe. The sensible thing for the two of you to do is to work out another game plan. For example, your fiance can become a pharm tech after only three years of schooling and get a decent income after that. So you could go to school part time and work full time (perhaps as an aide in a psychiatric institution) until your fiance completes that much training. Then your fiance could go to work full time as a pharm tech and go to school part-time while you return to school full time to finish your degree. When you've graduated and acquired a job as a mental health therapist, your fiance can then return to school full-time to complete the full pharmacy degree unless he's already finished up. That's just one possible scenario. No matter what plan you implement, be aggressive in applying for scholarships and grants. 3. Depending on how the loan is written, your parents may or may not be able to co-sign a student loan for you.

Computer help!!! pseudocode?
what is the answer to the following q's? 9. A group of variables is often called a ____. (Points: 1) linked group data structure data object module . A statement that asks a user to enter information is called a ____. (Points: 1) delimiter breaker prompt read 13. What is the problem with the following pseudocode if you assume that the housekeeping() module does not perform a read? start perform housekeeping() (without read) while not eof read invRecord profit = invPrice - invCost print invItemName, invPrice, invCost, profit endwhile (Points: 1) there is no priming read and the while not eof check may fail there is no check for the end of the file the loop is not structured there is no input Assume that out of 1000 employees, 900 employees in the company have medical insurance and 500 have dental insurance. How many times will the following decision structures be executed in total? if empDentalIns = "Y" then if empMedicalIns = "Y" then print empIdNumber, empLastName, empFirstName endif endif (Points: 1) 500 900 1500 1900 What pseudocode is used in a binary selection? (Points: 1) if-then if-then-else while do-while
--------------------
I agree with one of the other answerers on 4 out of the 5 questions. Their answers were. 1. data object 2. prompt 3. there is no input 4. 500 5. if-then-else But I believe they have got question 3. wrong. The answer should be: there is no priming read and the while not eof check may fail As the while loop while activate, and if it is the end of file when you first read it in, there will be no invRecord. A priming read should be done to check if the file is not empty. The following: perform housekeeping() (without read) while not eof read invRecord profit = invPrice - invCost print invItemName, invPrice, invCost, profit endwhile (Points: 1) Should be changed to something like. perform housekeeping() (without read) read invRecord while not eof profit = invPrice - invCost print invItemName, invPrice, invCost, profit read invRecord endwhile (Points: 1) On another note: It would only be 500 for the question about health and dental insurance if you need to have health insurance to be able to have dental insurance. If you could have dental insurance without health insurance, the answer would be: A minimum of 400 and a maximum of 500.
