I run and own a small businesses in Southern California. I would like to get some dental insurance for my three employee as a benefit to them. I would need it to be affordable but I though it would be good to offer something to them as full time employees. I really do not know anything about insurance so what would be the best dental plan to get that will not brake the bank.

I am hoping to find a dental plan that will help cover the cost of having braces removed. I had braces put on last year and a half ago. I went into see the Orthodontic two to three times during that time to have the braces tighten. While during the coarse of having my braces I lost my job that was helping me pay for them. Now I have a new job but I do not receive any dental benefits.
I have since stop paying for the braces because I couldn’t afford the monthly payments anymore. So I want them off now. The place I was going to will not remove them because they say I own them $1700.00 which I am not paying since I am not getting the job finished.
I went to an orthodontist a few days ago to find out the price of having my braces removed and the cost is around $350. I can not even afford that because I only working part time right now. Is there anything I can do to get some help with this issue.

My son is 14 and will be needing braces since our current dental plan does not offer braces benefits I am looking for a good affordable plan that will help me in the cost of my son braces. My son would rather have Invisaligns compared to standard braces and I told him if I can find a dental insurance plan that will make having invisaligns affordable I would go ahead with him having the type of braces he would prefer. However cost in the plan and the braces are a factor and if push comes to shove he would get getting what I can afford.

I need dental help for my autistic son. My son is five years old and has dental issues that need to be address. It is very difficult to brush and floss his teeth because he fights with you he also grinds his teeth at night.
Our dental bill is always costly but this time I not sure what to believe. We went to a new dentist since the old one we had retired. The new dentist is stating that he has 6 cavities. Even though at his last appointment five months ago he had only one cavity that we needed to address.
This new dentist is also advising that we crown all of his back teeth since he grinds them. This would cost us $375.00 a crown. Cost aside this would also be a lot of dental work that I am not sure my son can handle. We do not have dental insurance and we do not receive any dental benefits from my husband job. Should I get a second opinion? And is it too late to get dental insurance for my son dental work?

I am 22 years old and have a son that is due in three months. Due to my high risk pregnancy I am current unemployed. I went to the dentist for a check up and cleaning I was told I have 4 cavities that needed to be fill. However I can not afford the dental care needed.
As it was I had to borrow money from a credit card just for the check up and cleaning. With the baby on the way I especially can not afford this additional cost. I live in Tennessee, does anyone know of any other alternatives? I tried finding a dentist that is willing to take a payment plans, without having perfect credit.

My two year old will not allow me to brush her teeth. It is a fight each time I have to brush her teeth before she goes to bed. She refuses to open her mouth. I’ve tried letting her brush her own teeth, but she doesn’t do a good job. I’ve also tried using a damp cloth to wipe her teeth, but she hasn’t allowed me to put it in her mouth. I’m worry that she won’t have proper dental hygiene care, but at the same time I getting tired of fighting with her on this issue each and every day.

I live in New York and there seems to be many dental plan options I am not sure which one make you see their provider and which ones you can go outside the plan network. Right now I like to stay with my current dentist but if I find a plan that going to offer me really good benefits I may change providers to get better cost for dental services since money is an issue. How do I go about getting more information on the different plan options.

My eight year old son just had three baby teeth removed do to dental carries. He was very good while the dentist removed his teeth. However when the dentist was done with the extractions my son really just wanted to go home.
Now I know I should have taken more time to ask the dentist about his aftercare but I was only thinking of my son at the time. My son needs to go back to the dentist in a week to be fitted for space maintainers.
I guessing his gums will be heal by then. But since I forgot to ask about the aftercare I am not really sure. So besides trying to keep his mouth clean is there anything else I should be doing for him?

I live in New York and been wanting to get my teeth fixed up for some time. My teeth are in poor shape and I need work done at an affordable cost. I do not have dental insurance and was thinking about going to New York University College of Dentistry. I heard they do good dental work for a school and it would be much cheaper then just seeing a general dentist.
I was also thinking that I could get dental insurance and I would really save money off all my dental work that is needed but not sure want to get. Do you have any dental insurance plan that will let me go to any dentist?

I have had bad teeth most of my life. At only 36 I have very few teeth left. The ones I do have still bother me from time to time. I would like to get them pulled in order to get top and bottom dentures.
I hate not having teeth but worse then that is have all bad teeth. I read many different insurance plans that state they will not cover me for dentures because I have already missing teeth, or if they do provide benefits for the dental care I need there are long term waiting periods I would have to deal with.
Where can I go for help with this issue. I can not keep living life with the few bad teeth I have left. I want dentures so that I can finally just have nice looking teeth.

Even though there has been considerable amount of concerns rised about at home whiten products being safe for your teeth, you may want to know that there have been numerous clinical studies that have demonstrated that using a home system to whiten your teeth is both safe and effective when used as instructed.
The fact is that the effectiveness of many home teeth whitening products is so good that there are numerous dentists that complain that they are losing money and patients. However in most cases that is not correct. At home whitening products actually cause their patients visit their dentist more, and take more pride in their dental health because they have actually raised to a certain level of awareness.
It is advised to consult with your dentist prior to making a decision about or selecting a teeth whitening product which is recommended by most all of the advertisements for legitimate teeth whitening products

Cost for dental care can be difficult for people ages 19 though 21 year olds. Many do not see their dentist regularly due to the high cost of dental care. This is due to a few factors for some they are no longer on their parent dental benefits. While others though this age is also going to school and are either not work or may only be working part time. Therefore they are not receiving dental benefits though work.
For anyone in this age group feeling the high cost of dental care , there are still low cost dental insurance options though dental discount plans or dental HMO insurance plans. These types of dental plans normally fit into tight budgets and help to keep dental cost low so you can maintain your dental care needs.

I have to get a crown and my dental insurance states they cover for full metal and porcelain fused to metal crowns. My dentist said he would do either and a coarse the full metal crown are more more affordable for me.
The tooth that I need a crown on is all the way in back on one of my back molars. I am really do not care about it being metal since no one really going to see it anyway. But beyond just what they look like is there other differences that I should know of before making my choice.
