I'm only 22. No insurance and no job. I live in a rural area with no means of transportation. I have had weird teeth ever since I was about 8 and would love to get my teeth worked on. I need cleaning; fillings in at least 4 teeth; 2 wisdom teeth pulled (one grew in with a cavity); missing a tooth so need a fake one; and braces to push back teeth, pull together teeth, and spread some apart. I think one tooth has even started spotting brown towards the back.
You can go to a local dental school or contact your local dental society for a free clinic possibly. I think for California, medicaid doesn't cover dental anymore for adults so it may vary from state to state.
It sounds like you have an abscess. Go to your primary care doctor and get a prescription for the infection to at least keep it under control while you find a dentist.
I am so far a healthy 43 year old/m in pa. I am trying to decide which health insurance plan will be good for my situation and I am looking for some opinions here. This Month my group plan ends and I can take cobra but there is no financial benefit to taking my same PPO plan which gives me to price break for being unemployed.
So I am trying to look at this at a meaningful way. Since my PPO was $475/m plue $29 dental I just cant be paying that on my own now.

State insurance regulators say they have approved rates for 2014 that are at least 50 percent lower on average than those currently available in New York. Beginning in October, individuals in New York City who now pay $1,000 a month or more for coverage will be able to shop for health insurance for as little as $308 monthly. With federal subsidies, the cost will be even lower.
By estimating the overall risk of healthcare expenses, a routine finance structure (such as a monthly premium or annual tax) can be developed, ensuring that money is available to pay for the healthcare benefits specified in the insurance agreement. Affordable health insurance plans available from Blue Cross California, Blue Shield, and top health insurance carriers. Health insurance quotes are instantly available online for you to review.
The only thing I liked about covered California is it helps you pay for your monthly payment for insurance. Instead of like 450 for insurance we would end up paying 163. But that depends on what company and what insurance you get.
Btw the medical takes a lot longer now to process thanks to the healthcare reform so I say apply on time. It took me 3mos to find out I was denied for medical and now its too late for me to be covered by anything on my due date.
Judge Joseph Tauro reached a similar conclusion in 2010 in a case out of Massachusetts that is on appeal, and Judge Jeffrey S. White in California reached the same conclusion earlier this year in a case slated for appeals arguments in September.
A claim just ended against a dentist for a 4 tooth bridge that had NO occulusion ..I went the route of the California Dental Board Peer Review ....a nightmare of the first order....Lesson #1; the dentist does NOT have to tell the truth...as in a court of law...Lesson #2; The Peer Review Board ONLY goes by the dentists records and his buddies examinations (from his local dental association)...
I also know the CPMC excepts some patients with no insurance and helps them. CPMC will assist patients in getting public assistance for its patients if it can't they do take charity cases.
"Financial Assistance Program (Charity Care)
"We are a not-for-profit Medical Center, and recognize that medical bills are usually unexpected, and frequently unaffordable. Because of this, we have an active Financial Assistance Program also known as Charity Care.
i know this can drive italy into bankrupcy but i am proud that african immigrants can have medical assistance no matter they are not european or have money
as a very good example a young girl from romania needed a liver transplant and she had it in the best hospital for liver transplant in europe in tourin entering first in the list before italians, just to compare i read the news of people left to dye in arizona or close state just because they could not pay for it, that s just disgusting and
Hi, I have several dental spacers that are lodged in my gum from a previous dental procedure. They are lodged pretty deep but not at the apex of my gums. I believe there are about 2 but possibly there could be as many as 3 in there. I am planning on getting them removed soon due to recurrent infections and I was wondering if it is more cost effective to get a dental insurance plan or pay out of pocket. What are the typical cost to remove something like this? Will there be surgery required?
Thanks for the dr suggestion. I will check him out. I'm glad something worked for you that you no longer need medication. I would like that for myself not to be in pain more than anything so I could live again. Medication helps take down my pain to a manageable level so to have some quality of life. I've had so many surgeries already and there's no way I can go for a fourth round of implantated stimulators , pain pumps, nerve blocks, or endless injections of various concoctions.
Today many dental implants are safe for use in individuals suffering from autoimmune disorders. Take care!
The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.
the biggest thing I see Ive wondered continuously about is when are they going to acknowledge everyone as individuals and not drug addicts. I cant understand how difficult this can be. but maybe its just me seeing this?
hi, i don't have any dental insurance so I need to pick and choose which tests and procedures at the dentist are really needed. I ask you this because I hope to find unbiased opinion. Last time I skipped the peridontal xray, but got the cavity xray and cleaning...he found 2 tiny cavities that ran me $400 out of my pocket but later a hygenist said maybe that wasn't necessary as the decay could have been reversed... So what do I "really" need..
