Since she is on SSI she should qualify for Medicare or Medical (It might be called something else if you are in another state). A last resort would be something like Western Dental- where they have payment plans, but there dentists are not the best. Has she seen her regular dentist? There is not hurt in calling and asking how much something is and if they accept payment plans.

What country has the best dental care?
Question by meeeeeee: What country has the best dental care?
I want to have my extremely messed up wisdom teeth pulled, but here in the USA I am looking at paying $ 4,000; that is, $ 1,000 per tooth! I am also an up-and-coming traveler, and was wondering if I could go to another country-Thailand maybe? Or somewhere with good dental care-and get them removed for less. If anyone can tell me more about this I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer by onlymatch4u
Dental care in the U.S. is by far from being the best in the world. The use of aniline chemicals like Lidocaine, Procaine, Carbocaine, etc. are not only dangerous, but aggressively carcinogenic and NO dentist I have ever seen or spoken too lets their patients know about this. Septocaine is not carcenogenic, but it has it’s set of problems, but not nearly as severe and damaging as the others. Dentists are notorious for doing things as cheaply as they can to maximize their profits. A very good example of this is using Amalgam fillings instead of composites or bonded ceramics because those are more expensive for them and time consuming. We know Amalgam fillings not only contain mercury, but each one has infection breeding under it and eventually leads to the need for a root canal. If you don’t think Amalgam fillings are bad, watch this video and you decide:
For years, dentists have been telling us that amalgam fillings don’t emit mercury because the mercury is in a form that prevents this in the mouth. THAT IS BLATANTLY NOT TRUE. We are told to not eat fish due to mercury, but the mercury in amalgam fillings is emitted for over 1-1/2 hours after just rubbing it a little. Just think how much mercury is emitted from several teeth with amalgams and if you have a gold crown, the mercury leaves the fillings 80 times faster!
If you care about your health, the price should be secondary to your health issue.
good luck to you

Can an uninsured person get affordable dental care?
Question by Indigo_X: Can an uninsured person get affordable dental care?
I have a deep cavity in my tooth. It’s really starting to hurt me. I know it needs drilled and filled, but I barely make enough money to pay bills, let alone dental care. My job doesn’t offer dental insurance, either. Is there anything I can do?

Answer by Richard
You can try baking soda mixed with salt and hydrogen peroxide brushed on and left for as long as possible. It will kill the bacteria very effectively and maybe stop some of the pain, and stop it from getting worse. Very cheap and very effective.
Gargling with table salt and warm water helps the pain as well and acts as a natural antiseptic.
When do you see a dentist get a quote for sealants on all your back teeth. They do last at least 5 years – sometimes as long as 10 – and will stop dental decay in most cases.

What is the optimal dental care regimen?
Question by Ms. X: What is the optimal dental care regimen?
Example:
*Visit dentist twice a year.
* Floss after all meals and snacks with power flosser.
* No sugar in diet other than what is in fruit.
* Brush after all meals and snacks with a power toothbrush such as Sonicare.
* Irrigate mouth with WaterPik or similar device.
* Clean tongue.
Probably no one is this perfect. But what is your idea of perfect dental home care?
P.S. To dentists and hygienists: Here’s your chance to tell us what the perfect dental patient would do.
Best answer:
Answer by mandapanda
that sounds like a great regimen.
I would add:
*when you brush with a manual toothbrush, use small circular motions at a 45 degree angle
*brush after every meal/snack
*floss at least 1 time/day and wrap the floss in a c-shape around the tooth and floss each side of the tooth. Also go under the gums to remove plaque hidden there. It will reduce the bacteria and the incidence of periodontal disease.
*avoid sodas (acid & sugar), juice (excess sugar and staining) and sugary gums/mints etc.
Ask your hygienist at your next cleaning which areas you had more plaque/tartar buildup so you can focus better on these areas.
Good LucK!
