I never had my baby canines pulled.  As a result my permanent canines grow in though the top part of my gums and overcrowded my teeth.   I could never afford dental care.  I just now got a full time job that is paying me more and I hope to correct this problem. However my job only offers medical benefits and no dental.  I will need to buy dental insurance on my own but I am not sure if pulling my teeth will fix them or if I will need a plan that will provide for adult orthodontic services.  Are there any lower cost dental insurance plan that can help me out either way it goes?

The ADA  and AAPD urged the Health Resources and Services Administration to reject a federal advisory panel’s dental workforce recommendations in a draft health personnel report to Congress. The report, ninth in a series of annual reports to health policymakers, is unfortunately, believe by the ADA and AAPD to be fraught with errors and misplaced emphasis that the ACTPCMD should scrap it and start over, at least for the sections that address dental programs

When cleanings try to avoid brushing your dentures, but when necessary use a soft bristle toothbrush, you still need to brush your dentures carefully.  Make sure you are careful not to damage the surface of your dentures or bend the attachments. There are many good over the counter denture cleansers available that do not required you to brush your dentures.

Although you can use regular toothpaste avoid it, since dentures are sensitive and you can easy damage their surface, with abrasive toothpaste.   Another cleaning option for dentures is by using an ultrasonic denture cleanser. However, make sure you buy one that has been proven safe for dentures.

DO NOT use bleach when cleaning your dentures.  Also do not use vinegar as it can cause your dentures to dry out. Do not use house hold cleaners. Though there are some people that will use mild hand soup or dish soup It is not advised. If you do make sure you rinse them thoroughly  in under the faucet with warm to cool water.

Our son needs orthodontic care in order to straighten two of teeth and fix an overbite. However we can not get it done through our dental insurance since our plan does not provide orthodontic benefits. What dental insurance company offer this type of coverage and can I buy it just for my son?

Before having orthodontic care check your dental insurance plan to under stand your coverages.  Many dental insurance plans are limited in the coverage provided for orthodontic services.  Such as some dental insurance plan may only cover minors up to age 19, where others plans may limitations the amount they cover up too or the type of braces that are covered.

I was told by the dentist I saw that since I have not been to a dentist in over three years that I will need Scaling and Root Planing.  I was shock to hear the cost that they wanted to charge for such a dental service.  I told him I would need to think about it.

It not that I think the dentist is trying to rip me off but I do not have over $600 to pay for the dental care they are telling me I need.   Is there any dental insurance plan that I can get that will at least cut this bill in half making it more affordable for me.

I have dental benefits though my employer but the issue is that it does not offer coverages for adult braces.  As I started shopping out dental insurance for adult braces I am finding out that the few dental insurance plans that offer coverages for adults braces dose not cover for Invislings.  Are there any dental insurance plans that offer adult braces cover on Invisaligns?

I am in need of dental insurance that can help fix my teeth.  I have very healthy teeth and gums but my teeth are small. They always been small and so when I smile you can see alot of gums.  I hate that therefore I do not like to smile very much.  I not sure what is needed to fix the problems but I do not currently have dental insurance.  What type of dental insurance plan should I get for this type of dental care need.

I have a two part dental question,  first  I have dental fears that all the dentist I been to fail to address.  In fact in most cases due to their attitude made my dental fears a larger issue.

I been told that I should go to a dentist that provides sleep dentistry or conscious sedation dentistry services.  I guessing that by going to a dentist that provides that type of service my cost for care is going to be much higher.  So is this the only option available to people with dental fears?

My second question is if so are there dental insurance plans that provide benefits for that type of dental care need?  I would need some way of making that type of dental care affordable.

I am thinking about having adult braces within the next year or so. I have read that dental schools offer dental care and orthodontic services at a much more affordable cost.  I thinking about going to the University of Pittsburgh School of Dentistry.  However, I am wanting to to have an idea of how significant my savings would be if I chose to go to a school for orthodontic services rather than going to a regular orthodontic office.
