I am looking for either some place I can take my five year old daughter too that offer low cost dental care.  Or I need a low cost dental insurance dental plan that will greatly reduce my cost for her dental care.  

She needs to have four fillings done and I just do not have the money to afford what the dentist was quoting to me.  Need help.  thanks.

Hello I our family is in need of so dental care and I do not know where to turn to get additional help needed.  We are a family of five  living in Kentucky.  My husband got laid off from the job he had for over 10 years. 

His new job pays less and does not offer dental benefits.  But right now that is the best he can fine. I am working but since it is only part time I do not get benefits.  We have not been to the dentist in over a year and if it was just my husband and I…  well I would not care but I do not want my kids to have bad teeth. 

We do not have much so I really could use your help in finding a low cost dental plan that  will make sense to get and be affordable for us.

I am a signal mom and I have a four and a two year old.  I have not taken either yet to see a dentist and I my self have not see a dentist in over five years.  I just do not have the money.  I work part time so that I can be home with my kids but I get very little benefits and help from the state. 

I am on my own when it comes to dental and would like to get something that can help me with the cost of going to the dentist.  Do you have any low income dental plans that can help me in my time of need?  Thanks

I would like to know can a baby just have rotten baby teeth?  My friend son is just now cutting his teeth at eight months old.  His first few baby teeth look like they are rotten.    His teeth are grayish white in color.  She does not know why this is happening.

Since I have two boys she came to me for my opinion and I told her she should take him to see the dentist.  Both of  my sons baby teeth were white.   I told her that I am not sure if  babies can be born with bad teeth or bad teeth color.

I think she will be taking him to see a dentist but I did let her know that I would look into it some more and see what I can come up with.

I have a two and  a five year old that I have to start taking to the dentist.  The medical help that I get for them is  not helping me with dental and I am not working right now so it has been hard for us.  I living with my mom but she does not have much either so I do not want to keep getting money from her so my kids can see the dentist.  Where can I take my kids to get some cheap dental care.

Please I need good advise.  I am poor with little money so my dental care as been getting put off.  I have this on and off toothace that I been putting up with for some time now.  Now it is really starting to hurt all the time and I have to be very careful not to eat on that side of my mouth.

I want to fix my tooth but I am guess at this point we are talking a lot of money to get it fixed.  What can I do?   Any tips on stoping the pain without having to spend every last cent I have?

Let me start by saying I do not have kids nor am I pregnant I have no disabilities and I am not collecting any type of state aid.

I do live in So CA and I do have a terrible toothache.  I do work full time but do not get dental insurance though my job.  I live off a very fixed income and have no one helping me out on with my bills.   I am upset because dentist will not even help me out a little by giving me a payment plan.

What the heck is someone like me to do about getting affordable dental care when there seems to be no help in site.

We are a family of three and my son is only four.  My husband just got laid off about a month ago and prior to that they were cutting his hours back.  We do not have any extra money for anything let alone dental care.

I do not work but  I am looking for at least a part time job for right now.   We all need some dental work done I just do not know to what extent.   We are desperate.  I at least want my son to be able to see the dentist.  Where can I turn to for state aid out here in  West Virginia

You know how some people say their teeth are sensitive to  hot or cold foods or drinks.  Well that is sort of my problem only with sweets.  I do not eat a ton of sweets or anything but when I do my teeth kind of ache.  Not a lot and it does go away after a while but why is this the case?  Will using toothpaste for sensitive teeth stop this or should I be seeing a dentist over this.

I have two children and no dental insurance currently.  Right now I do not belive either of my children have any real teeth issues other then thier basic dental check ups that they need to have twice a year.

Since I do not have dental insurance I can only afford to take them to the dentist once a year.  I would like to do more but just do not have the money to do so.  A family friend told me that I could get dental insurance on line but I am not sure what I need to be looking for and what plan would be best for me to get.  How do I go about buying a low cost dental plan?

Okay so I am 14 years old and normally not a smoker.   However with a few of my friends I did have a few cigarettes over the past week.  Though I told them I will not be smoking any more because I do not see the fun in it.  So note I have not smoked in like two days.

I was just told by my mom that I will be going to the dentist for my check up tomorrow.  Will a dentist know that I tried smoking?  Will he say anything to my mom about it.  I am freaking out a little since someone told me you can tell that a person smokes by their teeth.   I found this website on my mom favorites so I though this would be a good place to ask about it.

I do not understand why there is seemly no priority made for adults dental care.  I can only seem to find low cost dental care plans for kids.  I do not think they do not need dental care, but so does adults.

How can adults take care of their kids if their own oral health needs can not be addressed.  I am on a very low very fixed income.  I had a toothache now for over three weeks with no one to help me.  Because I am an adult there are no programs for me to run to to get free dental care.   I have a one year old and finding it very hard to be a good mom when my tooth is killing me and my head is hurting.   I guess I am just very upset and tired of not getting any help.

My daughter just chipped her front tooth.  Not sure what to do about it.  She is seven so it is only a baby tooth.  I try to see if it was loose but it seems find to me other then a little chip in the corner.  I do not have dental insurance but that is not to much of an issue I am not sure if she really needs to see a dentist about this or not.

Dental Insurance – Dentures

There are plenty of dental insurance plans that will cover dentures, but you need to plan ahead. Many but not all dental insurance plans have waiting periods from 6-18 months.

As an example: Replacing teeth with dentures is classified as major dental services. The average benefit is 50% co-insurance for your dentures. Dentures are covered by some dental discounts dental plans. Remember discount dental plans are not insurance dental plan.

What happens when you get dentures?

Full or partial dentures replace your teeth when you have lost your natural teeth, from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury. They will help your appearance and your health including support for facial muscles sag which makes a person look older. Dentures normally take one month and 4-5 appointments which include the initial exam, wax bite impressions, and final denture adjustments.

How to take care of dentures?

Remove and brush your dentures with a tooth brush and denture cleanser designed for dentures. When the dentures are not used, soak the dentures in a denture cleaner solution or in water.

Should dentures be worn at bedtime?

Dentures should not be worn while sleeping to allow the gum tissue to rest and normal stimulation and cleaning by the tongue and saliva

I just got laid off about two months ago.   My son has a cavity at least I think it is a cavity since I can see a brown spot on his tooth that I can not brush off.  Do to the fact that I am currently out of work I have very little money.  Where can I get a cheap dental plan for my son so that I can afford to have his tooth fixed?

I am wondering around what age dose a child start to loose their baby teeth.  What should a child have all their adult teeth?  And do wisdom teeth always need to be pull? My son is only seven but I did not want to ask his dentist about this thinking he is too young still and I did not want to seem silly to the dentist.   However would like  to know so thanks for any information given .

I just notice that I had a broken top right wisdom tooth.  I got all my teeth and they never gave me any  problems.  However I notice when I was done eat that my wisdom tooth was very  sharped edged.  I think I cracked a part off without knowing it.

I do not have dental insurance so will it be cost to remove?  Will the dentist need to remove it?  I not sure what to do at this point.

I just had a baby girl three weeks ago.   I am wondering if I need to add her to my dental insuance now?  Or do I wait until she is a year old?  When dose a new born need to see a dentist?  I mean it not like they have any teeth for awhile.  This is my first child so I would like advise please.

I have a family of four and right now my husband does not get dental insurance though his job.  We have been paying for our dental needs out of pocket but the expense is getting higher each time one of us goes to see the dentist.

I talk things over with him and we are willing to get a family dental insurance plan if we can find one that makes sense.  We do not want to pay high monthly cost for dental insurance that goes over what we pay out of pocket for our dental needs.   Advise on a good plan needed.

I am a a disabled single dad of one boy who is eight years old.  I am currently on medicaid and I do collect SS but I do not have any coverages for dental services.  Right now we have little extra spending money and I do not want are oral health to be put off due to lack of money.

Is there any plans that I can get for the two of us that I have yet to fine?  Any where they get free dental services at least for my minor son?
