Common Questions and Answers about How does dental insurance work
insurance
if you are not prone to tooth decay, and if you have not had alot of dental work in the past (especially crown and brige work, root canals, or gum surgery) then having 2 or 4 bitewing (cavity detecting xrays as you call them) once per year should suffice. A full set of films need only be taken once every 3-5 years, depending on the patient. And I have to be frank with you.
I have dental insurance but as we all know the coverage has been less and less over the past few years so I looked into dental discount programs. Did you know that some dental providers will accept both insurance and a dental discount plan togeather? It took me about 5 phone calls but I know it was worth it. On my first visit I had 3-cavitys filled. The cost after my insurance was $144. factor in the dental discount plan and my out of pocket cost was only $14!!!

Does anybody know of a Dental collage anywhere in Florida Or Alabama that does work for free or low cost ?
I am a resident of NY and I work in NY too. My husband (40 y/o,healthy)and I (40 y/o, healthy) are looking to get our health insurance coverage from next present. Right now we are on cobra GHI( extension from my previous work place) but they are asking me to change to EMPIRE PPO or EPO since they will not have GHI. I did not have dental and vision coverage previously but even if I want it they are saying they cannot add it. They are also asking for a one year committment.
So the dentist is telling him that he needs immediate dental work done. He needs 9 extractions, 4 root canals and 4 or 6 i cant remember bone graphs done. its a 4 hour procedure and is going to cost 6000 dollars! AH we do not have any insurance. They wont even consider dentures until he has this work done. if this is so life threatening why isn't he being put in hospital so OHIP can pay. To top this off, like I said its 4 hour work and he's not even being put to sleep.
I have been to a couple of dentists last year and they all said all of my teeth need pulled. But right now my dental insurance is not great and i dont have 4,ooo dollars. So my teeth have decayed more and here lately when i first wake up in the mornings i get stomach pains for about an hour or two. So i was wondering if the tooth decay can drain toxins down into my stomach.
I have healrh, dental and vision insurance through work but I was still approved for Medicaid. It goes by income, not current coverage so that's expecially helpful if you're like me and are having a really hard time working because of fatigue and such. They will access or request your pay stubs to go off of what you are really making in a pay period.
Valium is your friend for dental visits. As for insurance, see if there is a dental program at a nearby college. I got some of my best teeth cleanings done at schools, where they are very very gentle and concerned about hurting you.
I recently lost ground on my phobia and cancelled two teeth cleanings with my dentist. I had two teeth removed by an oral surgeon who did not take me seriously about being completely sedated for the extraction.
Not sure how I feel about this. I have been on Subs for a few months. I had a toothache start 2 days ago........may be turning into an absess. I called my dentist and they are getting me in at 5 tomorrow night. I am nervous as heck because dental pain is the worst pain in the world and I don't know how I am going to handle it. I cannot take any pain killers because I am on the Sub. I am so worried that I am going to have to deal with some excrutiating pain because of being on the Sub.
Hi everyone, I am going to see a TMJ specialist for the first time on Friday. I called my insurance company to check on coverage, they do cover the consultation but there was a long list of treatments they won't cover if they are found to be dental in nature. Does anyone know how a dr might find the TMJ issues medical in nature?
