dental insurance - Page 3

It's not wey. I needed that deep cleaning. My teeth were messed up. My dentist did wonders. The scaling is not an advertising move either. Have you ever had tartar on your teeth and then had it removed?? I had a lot of it. I even thought it was part of my teeth. Shit is nasty.

Wey, go for a REGULAR cleaning if you can. You have spent your money on other more expensive things. Having a clean, tartar-free mouth is awesome.

Screw that...I have that carbamide peroxide and I still think its better. Search it...

Unless you have an actual medical coverage at work that offers dental, the best you can hope for are those scammy type brochures some dentists have.

Other things to try: If there is a university in your city that has a dental school, many of them offer very cheap (or even free) checkups. Some only accept you if you have a dental condition that a student needs to be working on which is somewhat random, but others offer everything at a very discounted rate if you can show up there every day at a certain time. For Crowns and Bridges that cost thousands of dollars, that's the best way to go.

If you only have a few teeth that needs work, find a good dentist and just pay cash. Often they work with you if you don't have insurance. A filling is about $200-$300.

The BEST way to avoid costs is to brush your teeth, floss, and see the dentist every 6 months. Sure it's $100 every 6 months, but if he catches a cavity before it's infected, it's the difference of $200 vs. $1200 if you need a root canal.

I also suggest for anyone to invest in a fancy spinning toothbrush
Your mouth will feel as if you went to the hygienist. Iamman is right too

Can we go to the health department to have an extraction? Has anybody gotten dental work at their local health department?

lol the cheap $8 Walgreens ones can pretty much strip off the chrome off a bumper!

If anybody has 2 hours to kill, this Fronline Piece called "Dentists and Dollars" was brilliant.

Make me some tacos...I like brain tacos.

Oh yes, me too. Me encantan los tacos de sesos.

I amman por eso estamos haci (that's why we're the way we are) cheaping yourself out of something good does you no good. A good dental brush is a good investment.

Thank me 20 yrs from now (when u still have teeth
Or hate me 20 yrs from now (when u get dentures)
