Hospital dentistry falls under both.  Some dentist go to school for another few years so they can perform hopital dentistry.  Yeah, three more years of school!.... They will bill your Dental Insuanrce or Dental procedure and Medical for the hospital stay.

If you qualify you can sign up for Welfare.  This will allow them to pay for your teeth and other health problems that may happen in the future.  It maybe worth a try.

For medical I would go with a HSA compatible high deductible \nhealth insurance, not necessarily BC/BS. \nThere are many available out there.\nHSA stands for health savings account. For dental and vision\nI would recommend http://e-healthplus.com

It's hard to say.  Need more info. on the work you need done.  Not only that, but all area's charge different prices.  \n\nYour best bet is to go to the dentist.  He/She should give you an oral exam and a full mouth series of x-rays to diagnose any problems.\n\n Usually a consult will be free if you plan on having the work done at that office.  A consult will consist of presenting your treatment plan to you, going over it (to make sure you understand why the work needs to be done), and also to discuss payment options.  The office I work in (like many offices) has an intraoral camera which takes still frames of problem areas.  This is a great way to show patients that work is necessary!  \n\nAs a dental assistant....I feel obligated to let you know that oral hygiene is important!  It not only effects your mouth....it can cause other damage to your body.  Brush atleast twice a day and floss once a day.  That is a start....b/c after having alot of work done in your mouth....you want to keep it that way.\n \nSorry I can't help out more than that.

Medicare isn't going to pay for any dental work.  If you have Medicaid, it will pay for x-rays, exams and dentures.  You can also try going on one of the plans such as Ameriplan or Denticare.  They have very low premiums every month.

In a PPO, you can go anywhere you like, although you may have more out-of-pocket expense in non-participating offices.  He just wants you in the PPO so his reimbursement will be higher.\n\nI'd suggest that you switch to a PPO and then go to another dentist who doesn't "think all teeth with any size cavity needs a root canal and crown."

Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic.  In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nCheck http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program.  D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems.  This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you.  Not all states have D.D.S. programs.

May I suggest to you Ameri Plan's discount benefits program. They do not have any restrictions on ongoing conditions and you can start saving immediately. The plan includes significant savings on dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic care. I'd check them out. I'm so proud to be with them. I know I shouldn't advertise, but your need sounds great. Let me know if you have any questions. wlakin@ameriplan.net\n\nThey are headquartered in Plano, TX and have been in business for 14 years. They are currently offering (just for May) $1 per month for 3 months...basically a 90-day trial. :)\n\nhttp://www.mybenefitsplus.com/40378118...

The average cost of insurance is I think is around 270 a month for medical and 25 a month for dental. So that would be an extra 300 a month out of the 13 and hour job. Divide 300  by 4 comes to 75.00 a week.The other job is 10.50 an hr so $2.50 x 40 is 100 and so it would be cheaper to to buy your own insurance depending on your age and insurance you would  buy.  It also depends on the other benefits offered. This is just figured on med and dental.

Almost no dental insurance covers cosmetic dentistry. It is viewed as "elective" and not necessary for your health. There are some exceptions:\n\nIf you have an orthodontic benefit, it will pay some towards braces. If not, you're out-of-pocket.\n\nIf a tooth in front has decay or is compromised, your dental insurance may pay to get it replaced with porcelain.\n\n\nOther than that, cosmetic procedures are your responsibility. Insurance is meant to pay for health concerns, not vanity. If you want a beautiful smile, you should have it. Get a job, work hard, and pay for it like everybody else.

Trust your instincts.  An insurance company is the last place you should ask for a recommendation for a new dentist.\n\nAsk co-workers or people at your church (or whatever) or even people you meet in stores.  After a while, you will start to hear the same name over and over again and this is a good place to try.\n~

Here's a good article for choosing a health insurance plan:\n\nhttp://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art31285.asp

I don't know of anything that will cover ALL dental expenses, but Medicaid covers most reasonable expenses, such as routine cleanings, exams, xrays, fillings, extractions, etc. Medicare will not cover any dental services unless performed in the hospital (or possibly oral surgeon's office). I don't work for an oral surgeon, so I'm not positive how that works in their offices. Hope this helped some.

You will not generally find good dental insurance for individuals.  The thing is, insurance companies are in BUSINESS and they want to make a PROFIT.  They know exactly how much any given group is going to spend for their dental needs, so they construct a fee schedule for that group and decide how much premium that they will need to charge to pay out those fees for that group and still make money.  Dental insurance can be a big loser for the insurance companies, because EVERYONE has dental problems.  Not everyone has a heart attack.\n\nBesides, any individual who is looking for dental insurance is most likely planning on USING it to the maximum.  There is no way for the insurance companies to recoup their expenses from this type of policy.
