For family dental insurance,  would only wife and kids be dependents?   Or could you also add extended family members that live with you?  My mom and 16 year old sister are living with me since my mom’s divorce.

They have no were else to go and I have been taking care of them both.  Could I not add them to my dental insurance?  They have some medical still but no dental so I am trying to help them out with that too.

What age should you add your child to your dental and vision insurance plan?  I have a three year old, I taken her to see a vision doctor since you can have things go wrong with you eyes at any age but what about teeth?  Is she not still to young since most dentist I call will not see kids until they are aroun five or six years of age.

I have a family of six and we do not have dental insurance.  We use to but the plan we had cancelled when my husband changed jobs.  We can not afford much so we would like to know where we can get low cost dental insurance or low cost dental services.  Either right now would be fine.

I have three kids and I need to be able to take them to an affordable dentist.  The thing is I really do not have money to take three kids to the dentist at $200.00 each.  And that is just for the basic visit, X-rays and cleaning.  For sure if they needed anything more there would be no way to address those issues.

I am not sure what to do.  They are not have any teeth issue right now and I make sure the are brushing their teeth like they should but I feel bad that I can not afford to get them the proper dental care.

I need to get dental insurance and I live in PA would like to buy a PPO dental insurance plan in order to stay with our family dentist.   Our family dentist does not take any other dental insurance plans but PPOs.   I have been looking into PPO plans but they all seem to have long waiting periods.  Is this common or are there any PPO dental insurance plans without waiting periods?

I have two children and I am a single mom on a below poor income.   I do not like taking my kids to the dental clinic. For one they are not all that much cheeper and I can be sitting there all day without being seen.  Is there any dental insurance plans for low income family?  Something I get just get for my kids would be fine.

My neece has some rotten baby teeth.  Her breath is really bad too.   She is going to the dentist to have them pulled but she is only seven so it seems too soon to be pulling out teeth.  Any helpful advise that can be given in order to make sure the rest of her teeth do not have to be pulled out.  I think  it is a lack of proper care but I feel I can not come out and say that.

If you only want to get dental insurance for two minors how do you go about it?  Do they each have to have their own plan or can I put them together?  Need to get dental insurance for my two sons only.  I do not have dental insurance though my job so I can not just add them to a plan.

My daughter just broke part of her back molar off.   I do not know what the heck she was chewing on but she managed to brake the back molar tooth were a whole corner come off.    She is ten years old and she says she is not in any pain.

Should I wait it out since it is a baby tooth and I do not have the money to crown her tooth since I think that would be the only way to fix it.   Or is there any place I can take her to where getting a crown will not cost me more money then I have?

I five months pregnant with a toothache that is really killing me.  I went to the dentist to find out what is wrong and I was told I needed a root canal.  I do not have dental insurance and just going to the dentist for what I did cost me a little over $100.00.

I can not afford a root canal and a crown done.  I was quoted $1700.00 total for both.  What can I do? I can not stay in this pain but I do not have $1700.00 either.  Advise please

My daughter is 15 and I was told by her dentist that I may want to think about having her wisdom teeth removed.  They are showing up in the x-rays but are not to the point that they are yet to come out.  Her teeth are perfect right now.

The dentist said there is a chance that the wisdom’s teeth will start to push her other teeth out of alignment.   What is the chance they will do this?  The dentist tells me I have time to  make up my mind but at the same time he said it better to do it sooner then later.

Would love to hear other advise.  Do you always have to pull out teeth that have not even broken though the gum line yet

My son has to have four of his baby teeth pulled.   His adult teeth do not have room since the baby teeth will not come out.  Well I made an appointment for him to have this dental work done.  What I would like to know is if my son will be in a lot of pain afterwords?

He will be asleep while he has the teeth pulled but will he be in pain when he wakes up?  Should I only feed him really soft foods?  Any additional information you may have would be good.  Thanks

My daughter is only nine but her teeth were really crooked and I and her dentist as stated she may need braces.  Right now she has a space maintainer in hopes to avoid braces.  If she does need to have braces would that be when all her baby theet are out?  I see no point in putting braces on baby teeth.   Yet is almost seems that is what her dentist is hinting at.

My son baby teeth are coming in.  He has already seen the dentist about four month ago and everything was fine.  It just more teeth have come out and they do not seem straight to me.  Is this normal?  Or should I take him back to the dentist.   I do not want him to have crooked adult teeth and worried if his baby teeth are crooked will that cause issues to the adult teeth when they start to come in?

This may seem straight forward but you can avoid your children having dental decay by making sure they have the right brushing and flossing habits.  The first step to dental care and good oral health comes from home.

Make sure your children are brushing and flossing correctly.  That means brushing for at least two minutes two times a day.  I suggest that if they have a full breakfast, lunch and dinner they should brush after every major meal.   Your child should also learn how to floss.  Flossing need s to be done once a day.

Now I am not one to say do not give sweets to kids because the fact is tooth decay can happen with any food item if good brushing habits are not in place.  However it is a good idea try and avoid food that can be harmful to tooth enamel.. Food like sour candy, soda, even too many fruits with acids like oranges or orange juice can be harmful. Be mindful of these types of food as they can over time wear down tooth enamel that  helps protect the tooth from decay.

And do not forget the importance of seeing your family dentist at least twice a year.  Prevention is the key to keeping your dental cost low.

I have a HMO dental plan currently.  Both my husband and I have been seeing this one dental office that is in our plan.  My son is two and I thought it is a good time to make a dental appointment for him.  I just found out that our dental office does not help two years old.

He will not see my son until he is five.  I think that is just too long to have him wait.  I do not dislike that office so I do not want to have to change providers.  Can my son have his own dentist and we keep seeing the one we want to?  Not sure how it would workout.

What is a good age to get dental insurance for your child?  I do not have dental insurance right now and I am a singal mom.  However my son is going on one.  I think I need to take him to his first dental appointment soon.

I have the money to pay for a dental visit since he really does not have too many teeth right now I can see his dental cost being to high.  However when is a good age to pick him up some dental insurance?

My five year old does not really brush her teeth.  She just plays around and acts like she is.  I do not understand why she is like this.  My seven year old son has no problems with brushing.  The only time she brush for the full three mintues is when I am watching her.

I would think by five she should be able to brush without it be an issue every day two times a day.  Do you have any helpful tips that I could try to maybe make her like brushing her teeth better?
