I want a good low cost dental benefit plan since I do note get dental benefits from my employer.   I feel that I can afford to spend about $20 to $25.00 a month for a dental benefit plan but not to much more then that.  I see you do offer some lower cost dental plan when I enter my zip codes are they good dental plans to get?  Would they work for me in Connecticut?

When reviewing  dental discount plans or HMO dental insurance plans,  how do you pick a good dental provider.  Since these types of dental plans are  in-network dental only plans,  picking a good dentist is an issue for me.  Right now I can not afford to get a  dental insurance plans where I can use my own dentist, so I would like advise in picking a dentist in a network of providers.

When deciding between dental discount plans carefully review their fee schedules.  Each dental discount plan has their own fee schedules.   The fee schedules shows the discount price you pay for each dental service listed.

You also want to make sure there is a dentist in the dental plan you may want to buy.  Since there is no outside network benefits. I suggest calling the dentist listed and confirming they are still accepting the plan as well as new members.

In California there are many good dental discount plans that are available.  On our website we offer dental discount plans though Aetna, Careington, New Dental Choice and American HelathGuard. Dental discount plans are a good low cost dental plan option.  They do not have many of the limitations that dental insurance plans come with.  If you are looking for an affordable dental plan that can start right away you may wish to review dental discount plans as a dental option.

If you are missing one or more teeth you may see a difference in your chewing as well as speaking. You may even notice a difference in your face and or profile.  For many people missing teeth can cause low self esteem. Making some people smile and laugh less for fare of people seeing their teeth.

Having proper dental care can and will help fix your teeth.  Bridges will not only fix the gap cause by missing teeth but will restore the shape of your face as well as alleviate the difference in your bite.
A dentist could also advise fixed or partial dentures when needed.  Bridges and partial will look just like your normal teeth and give you back your smile.

Another option though be it normally a more costly, would be having dental implants.  Dental implants are artificial teeth that attaches directly to the jaw.  Not everyone can have implants but a dentist can advise if that is an option for you.

Here is a good tip that may help you when you have acid reflux and it comes up in your mouth.
Immediately after do not brush but rinse with baking soda.  Baking soda will help neutralize the effects of the stomach acid that comes up into your mouth. Keep a record of food that make you more sensitive to getting acid reflux and try to limit yourself on those foods.

There are many people that are having to deal with acid reflux disease.  Acid Reflux is when the stomach acid are refluxed up, which may cause problems to your esophagus as well as your oral health and teeth if left untreated.

Acid reflux can cause tooth enamel erosion. Which can lead to tooth decay and other dental issues.  Acid reflux can also cause bad breath. So it is not only important to speak to a doctor when dealing with acid reflux but also talk to your dentist.

Let your dentist know that you are dealing with acid reflux.  That way they will know to check more carefully for signs of tooth enamel erosion as well as wear on fillings. You may want to see a dentist more the just twice a year if you have constant acid reflux issues.  Stomach acid will quickly damage teeth if you do not stay on top of your oral health care.  So see a doctor for help in controlling your acid reflux and see a dentist regular to maintain your teeth health.

Even though fillings can last many years they do not last forever. There may come a time when you will need to replace your old fillings.   Without knowing you can wear down a filling by constant pressure from chewing when eating. Other people also may grind or clench their teeth knowingly or not, which will also cause wear on older fillings.

You can not see the wearing down on your fillings but your dentist can.  Normally a dentist will be able to spot weaknesses in fillings during your regular check ups. Though people that do not have regular check ups can wear down their fillings and have larger dental issues. If the seal between the tooth and the filling breaks down then you are leaving your tooth open to new decay. If left untreated the decay can progress to  the dental pulp and may cause infection and or abscessed.  In which case can lead to larger dental services such as a root canal.

You can see the importance of  regular dental visits. Many times people do not know any of this is going on until they start to have tooth pain.  Preventive dental care not only saves you from unwanted dental pain, but in the long run will save you from higher cost dental services.

There are many low cost dental insurance plans such as HMO dental insurance plans that offer free office visits, check ups, X-rays and cleanings. By buying and using dental insurance you can save money and help keep a beautiful smile.

Amalgam fillings are useful in baby teeth.  If a child still has their baby teeth,  but needs a filling  paying the high cost for white filling on teeth that will soon be replaced by their adult teeth may not be the best affordable option.  Cost may not be an issue for some people but if it is,  an amalgam filling is a very affordable filling option.

Other reason you may want to use amalgam fillings.  Amalgam filling are able to withstand high pressure they become useful for filling in molars where chewing load is higher. Amalgam filling are well tolerated by most people with only rare occurrences of allergic response.  Course amalgam filling are silver in color which may be okay for back teeth not easily seen but might not be want you would want to have towards the front of your mouth.

Talk to your dentist about all filling options and choose which you feel is the best option for you or your family.  And remember all dental services are less expensive when you have a dental insurance or dental discount plan in place.  So keep us in mind for your dental plans needs.
