Cosmetic dental bonding is a fairly painless procedure usually performed in one dental visit by applying an enamel like material to your teeth which is then shaped, hardened with a special light and polished.

For a more dramatic smile, porcelain veneers can make a drastic difference. With veneers, you can control the color, position, shape, and size of your new teeth which can correct crooked, worn, or chipped teeth. This procedure can cost between $1,200 – $3,500 per tooth.

Cosmetic dentistry insurance coverage is not afforded by most dental insurance companies. If you are with a group dental insurance company through your employer, you may want to inquire if cosmetic dentistry insurance coverage is provided under your dental plan. Cosmetic dental coverage is normally provided by discount dental plans. Discount dental plans usually cover 15 to 20 percent of the cosmetic dental care cost.

Supplemental dental insurance is an individual or family insurance policy purchased to cover a portion of the dental costs. Supplemental dental insurance will normally not cover the entire dental care procedure. If you have a primary dental insurance plan that you purchased or your employer provided, the supplemental dental policy typically covers the remaining dental bill.

For example, if the dental plan policy covers half of the dental cost, the secondary or supplement dental insurance plan should cover the remaining balance of your dental procedure. A supplement dental insurance plan may also be purchased to cover the dental charges when there are annual dental benefit plan limits or exclusions.

Oddly enough yes.  Studies have shown that bacteria that causes tooth decay can be transmitted via a open mouth kiss.   With in one kiss you can share over 500 different types of disease causing germs and viruses.  This means that cavities can become contagious however,  it only an issue if the person you are kissing has several cavities a year which can be a sign that he or she may have an above average bacteria count.  With that say there is no reason to stop kissing. 

Before a  kissing try brushing your teeth or rinse out your mouth with mouth wash.  Not convenient,  then chew on some sugar free gum or drink a glass of water.  If you feel your partner may be an issue you can always brush and floss your ow

If what can be done if you loose a tooth in and Accident.

If you loose a tooth due to an accident and the tooth is recovered quickly you have a chance to save the tooth by going straight to a dentist and having it reattached.

However often too much time passes between the loss of the tooth and getting the dental care needed. At that point you will need to think about how you are going to replace the tooth. One way is by having a dental implant. Implants are artificial roots for a tooth that is placed in your mouth and attached to a replacement tooth. They do not rest on other teeth to support the replacement tooth, but rather are rooted into the gums. A dental implant will look just like any of your other teeth and work and function the same. Dental implants are a great substitute for dentures and bridge work. They are secure, and do not feel or look fake. The only problem with the procedure is the high cost.

Many dental insurance plans do not cover for dental implants but there is still an option if your insurance plan does not offer benefits for implants. If implants works is needed then you may want to get a dental discount plan. On a dental discount plan you will be able to save money off the cost of having dental implants as long as there is a provider in the plan that does that type of dental services. It is worth looking into when deciding about implant dental work.

There are a few steps you may want to take when thinking about buying dental insurance for yourself and or your family.

First step is to know your own dental needs the best you can. You will be able to see that on line there are a ton of website offering dental insurance and dental plans that you can have the option to review. However, if you do not have a clear understanding of what you may need from a plan it will quickly seem overwhelming.

Before getting online ask yourself a few questions. First are you trying to stay with a dental office? If so the first step should be calling the dental office you are wanting to stay with to find out what plan they are a PROVIDER for. The key word is provider. There are many higher cost dental insurance plans one can buy that lets you choose your own dentist but if your dental office is a provider of a lessor cost plan would you not want to know about it. At the same time knowing this information will save you time in reviewing dental plans like HMOs where you have to stay within a network.

With that said you also need to have some idea on the dental services you may want. Such as if you are in need of having a root canal getting a dental PPO with waiting periods for major dental services may not be the best option as to buying a dental HMO plan with no waiting periods or a getting a dental discount plan that let you see the dentist normally within the next business day of your online enrollment.

Make sure you read each plans terms and conditions so that you are sure to buy a dental plan that best fits your dental needs. And lastly when in doubt about coverage’s or plan details call member services and get a clear understanding the time you put into make sure you getting the right plan from the start is well worth it.

Root canal can be done by either a general dentist or in some cases an Endodontist specialist. Normally you would go to a general dentist first and if determine that you should see a endodontist the general dentist will refer you to one. The dentist will remove the inflamed or infected pulp that is in the inside of your tooth. Then the tooth is filled up and sealed.

If you went to a endodontist dentist for the root canal you would return to your general dentist for a crown. The crown will help to protect your tooth and restore it back to full function. Even though having a root canal and crown work can be costly, most dentist will advise this procedure in order to save a tooth.

Some people feel that having an extraction would be less costly however that is not the case if you are wanting to replace the missing tooth pulled. Leaving gaps in your teeth due to pulling is never a good idea because shifting of your remaining teeth will happen over time. That is why it is a good idea to have dental insurance in place prior to having any major dental services render.

It is always important to have good dental care and to see a dentist regularly.

If you are one of the 3% (depending on what study you  read)  of the US population that suffers from Acid reflux disease, dental care and seeing a dentist becomes a larger issue and one that should be address.

With people that have acid reflux disease you may need to see the dentist more then just twice a year. Prolong or chronic acid reflux can start to cause major teeth damage. Day after day of exposure to stomach acids will begin to dissolve away the tooth enamel which is the protective coating of your teeth. Thus leaving your teeth noticeably weaken and more open for tooth decay. Causing you to have larger dental issues as well as health care issues.

A dentist would be able to help you prevent teeth damage due to acid reflux but only if you see a dentist regularly. By having a good dental insurance plan, it will help you control the cost of your dental care needs .

Did you know that your dental health care start with you? Yes seeing a dentist regularly is important part of maintaining your dental health but a dentist can only do so much twice a year. It is up to you to take care of your own dental care on a daily bases. Make sure you are practicing good at home dental care habits. Brush your teeth twice a day floss after eating and use a mouthwash to help fight plaque.

I have terrible teeth need dental help. I am Twenty. My teeth are in very bad shape. I always had bad teeth even my baby teeth were cavity ridden. Now with my adult teeth I have already have had seven cavities that needed to be filled, but I never had them fixed at the time I found out about them cause I did not have the money. I may have more now. What can I do

Reply: I would suggest getting a low cost dental HMO plan. They do not typically have waiting periods and are much more affordable then PPO plans, since cost is a factor for you. Also work with the dentist. Let the dentist know that you have limited money you may have seven or more cavities but they do not all have to be filled at once. Do they as you can budget to have them done. Therefore the dentist is choices which fillings need to be done first and which can afford to wait a little until you have the money to fix them. Also look for a dentist in the HMO that is willing to work out a payment plan option for you. This also may help you get more dental work done sooner then later.

What type of dental insurance offers you full dental coverage’s? I am looking for a dental insurance plan that does not exclude coverage’s for cosmetic dental services. I want a plan that does it all. I not saying I need cosmetic dental services but if in the future I do I want it to be covered.

Reply: Although there are insurance plans that do offer some cosmetic services it can be limited in benefits it provides. Such as dental implants are typically not a covered benefit and the few plans that may provide implants benefits it typically limited to how much though something is better then nothing you need to go into the insurance plan knowing the limits it has on cosmetic services. The best thing you can do is read though the plans coverage’s and limitations. There is no one plan the offers it all.

My teen daughter has three dental cavities. I was just told this by her dentist. I am now looking for dental insurance that will give me good benefits on the fillings that need to be done. Hopefully a dental insurance plan that does not have waiting periods for fillings.

Reply: You have a couple of options with regards to fillings. First you can review HMO insurance plans as they typically do not have waiting periods. However, it may mean changing to a different dentist if your current one dose not accept HMO or are not a provider of any HMO plans.

There are PPO’s plans that do not have waiting periods as well. They do tend to be more costly because of that though. You will also need to read the plans carefully to confirm if the one you are reviewing has waiting periods or not.

I know that I have two very small cavities. I was told by my dentist that I should have fillings for the two small cavities but do not see the point as I am in not pain and do not really have the money to fix something that dose not see broken to me. What is the benefit of having this work done?

Reply: The reason why your dentist would want to fix even small cavity is by not fixing them over them the small cavities turn into larger cavities. Which can whine up costing you more in the long run to fix at that point. Cavities big or small weakens your tooth and if left un treated leaves them open to larger dental care needs in the future.
