6903444 tn?1385943346 I've tried a popsicle lol. My teeth are just so sensitive to cold :\ it's mainly my back teeth that hurt so it's hard to get anything back there, including wax. And I have no idea about Medicaid... I am paying for my braces out of pocket. My insurance didn't cover any of it but I recently got new dental insurance, so I should probably check!
358699 tn?1297646442 Since I haven't had dental insurance in many years, I've neglected my dental health. I do brush my teeth everyday, floss, and use mouthwash. Last year I had a back molar removed because I cracked it and could not afford a crown. My middle teeth on the bottom are beginning to shift. I had braces as a teenager and my teeth were very straight. My gums bleed on the bottom every time I brush. I know this is a sign a periodontal disease or maybe gingivitis?
Avatar n tn She gets extremely upset, cries, and usually has to be restrained. Will most dentist sedate for braces or should be just put off this for a few more years and hope she gets better at the dentist????
Avatar f tn It would be for the cleaning, pulling, filling, replacing, and braces. Also should I be worried about the brown spot? And my last question is, should I apply towards dental insurance or could New Mexico medicaid cover all the expenses? My teeth never hurt but fillings are necessary as well as braces.
Avatar f tn Carmengee, that depends on the plan. The plan that I am on cover me for a $100 of the eye glasses regardless of age. I am 23 yr old.
Avatar m tn The feedback from her dentist is that there will be no need for a dental implant to replace the 1st molar that was already extracted, as that space will be used to resolve the crowding issue through braces. Her questions: 1. Is that a perfectly ok course of action to follow? Leaving the 1st molar gap as is and allowing braces to fill the space? 2.
Avatar n tn Now I am 28 and went to the Dentist to get this taken care of and I do have dental insurance and the baby tooth is 2 from the front so I just cant have it pulled out I would have a gap and it would show :( so the dentist told me I have to get the baby tooth pulled and get braces on top and bottom to have the adult tooth push and turn to the front. Now this seems like too much to go through ..I mean Im too old for braces and they cost almost 5000.00 out of pocket.
Avatar n tn I'm not an orthodontist, but I can tell you a few things as an adult who just finished having braces...Yes, teeth can be crooked after taking the braces off, especially when patients aren't compliant about following through with the retainment plan set out by the orthodontist, but even then there are some cases where teeth move back into their crooked position. There are lots of pros to braces.
Avatar n tn I believe the insurance is Assurant Dental. I am self-employed and this is what the insurance agent that works for the union that I am a member of recommended. Any comments on this?
Avatar f tn It seems though that you have done all the right things for your son, and you are to be commended for that. I hope things work out for this part too.
Avatar n tn I understand exactly what you mean. I had dental through the state when I was little. My mother had brought me to the dentist, some Indian woman, she told my mother every tooth in my mouth need root canals and recommended I get braces. I had cavities. She refused to fill them. So we went ahead with braces. Had many problems there. Got the braces off after 1/2 a year and went back to her. My cavities were out of control by then.
1709021 tn?1308184343 Why is it that the government will allow medical insurance coverage in the social security area but when it comes to dental the only coverage goes for the children. This is good for the parents sake but....... Seniors need medical dental coverage. Most medical or lots of medical infections in the body may start from infected teeth and gums. This is why I feel this area should be checked into. Have or has anyone priced a set of choppers today?
1216952 tn?1283675247 My question is since I am not getting an implant where this tooth is being extracted and since my dental insurance does not pay for these things noted, are they necessary?
Avatar m tn ok, thanks everyone i am 13 and i would really want to use invisalign. is it only for adults? can kids switch to it even if they have braces now?
Avatar f tn In my town I have found three other people who obtain TMJ after visiting this Castaic dental office. Please note,I was told by another dentist that it is very important to see a TMJ specialist or other bad things would continue to happen. I was told that it takes 1 to 2 years to locate jaws that have been dislocated. Night gaurds don't help jaws that go to the side such as mines and yours. Please note, my jaw goes to the side because it was yanked to the side so please check that out.
Avatar n tn For medi cal, dental will only cover your child(ren) until a certain age. It no longer covers adults. Unless its just a cleaning and xrays. They did before but have gotten strict. Same thing with the optomitrist. Im sure you can find out online for sure what exactly it is they cover but i had to get private dental for myself because they wouldnt cover anything for me. Also make sure you have full scope medi cal and not pregnancy related only medi cal.
Avatar n tn Can I get any dental work that doesn't involve amnesia like braces or cleaning while I'm pregnant
Avatar f tn my friend is almost 8 months in her 3rd pregnancy and she is wearing dental braces, one day a nurse told her that she cann't deliver normally or CS while wearing dental braces.. is this true?? i honestly never heard of it before. appreciate your help.
Avatar n tn One of the reputed dental specialist in a dentistry clinic in Ajax ( Appleton dental ) has whom I had consulted recommended me to wear braces which can lead my teeth properly aligned. I’m totally unaware of this procedure. Which one is the most preferable - the invisalign or traditional braces? Can anyone share their experience who has got braces?

1196205 tn?1265141071 scottma is correct if you are low income there are usually state supported clinics you can go to with proof of income that provide a sliding scale for payments. these provide basic dental care so dont expect cosmetic procedures, braces, or root canal/ crowns. they might provide necessary extractions.
Avatar n tn I've been told that our health insurance may pay for it, but I did not know the actual name of the medical conditon - thank you. She also has an underbite for which she is wearing the headgear at night, but I don't think it's working since I see little if any improvement. Are there other options re: this condition? Thanks.

I'm waiting till Dec1st 2016 when my second dental insurance kicks in.until than can i use clarithromycin 500 mg to help ease the pain? It was mine but i never had to use it.
Avatar n tn what's so good about having braces? Are they only for a better appearance? I read that misaligned teeth can cause tooth decay, but can't you just brush your teeth to avoid tooth decay? I also read that misaligned teeth can affect your speech and chewing, but by how much? Can misaligned teeth affect you so badly that you absolutely can't chew or speak intelligibly? And if yes, does it only happen if your teeth are very misaligned?
Avatar f tn any one knows if medical covers dental I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I'm having pain since last night and don't know what to do or what to drink please help
Avatar m tn I was wondering if I am at risk because I performed falcio on a penis, the person was wearing a condom. After this, we engaged in anal sex, I was recieving. It only lasted for a few minutes, there was no ejaculation, but I'm not sure if there was any precum. So if there was no precum, I would be in the clear, yes? If there was precum, then could have the precum escaped the condom as a result of possible micro tears caused by my braces?
Avatar m tn I read that dental work may cause an outbreak if i have hsv, but i'm not sure if i do since i've never gotten an outbreak but have dated people with oral herpes, but they've never suffered an outbreak after the initial. whats the % of outbreaks caused by dental works? since i need to get a tooth removed for braces.
