Dental Health, Root Canal Treatment

05/07/16

A Safe Way To Save The Tooth

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is probably the most maligned of all dental procedures, but the reputation of pain typically associated with “having a root canal” is really not deserved.  Today, root canal treatment has given dentists a safe way of saving teeth.

Left without treatment, pus builds up at the root tip, in the jawbone, forming a “pus-pocket” called an abscess.  Without treatment, your tooth may have to be removed.  During treatment, your general dentist or endodontist (a dentist who specializes in problems of the pulp) removes the diseased pulp.  If an endodontist performs the treatment, he or she will recommend that you return to your family dentist for this final step.  The treatment can readily be done using modern local anesthetic techniques with little or no discomfort.

Dental Health, Dental Care With No Dental Insurance

29/01/16

Question: My fiancée has been in pain due to a rotten tooth that broke four days ago He went to the hospital which gave him some pain killers and antibiotics but that is all.  They told him to have the tooth pulled of fixed he will need to see a dentist.  As long as he takes the pain killers, he does not have any pain but without dental insurance he is worried that it would be to pricey to have his tooth fixed.

Reply: The antibiotics will help to keep down any infections and the pain killers will help with the pain but they do nothing to fix the real problem. After he out of pain killers and antibiotics he will be back in the same boat.

Seeing a dentist is very important since this issue will only get worse if he dose not fix it right away.  There are many good low cost dental insurance options that will help to greatly reduce your dental care cost.  Review our HMO insurance plan options as they are the lower cost plan types.

Dental Health, CA Dental Insurance, What is an Estimated Cost for Dental Care

25/01/16

Question:  I do not have any dental insurance and need to have an estimated cost idea for dental services.  Need dental help ASAP since I am in pain.  The pain is really effective my daily life at school and at home.  The pain goes from the side of my face up to my head.

I know I need some major dental care. I need help in finding cheap dental insurance and a low cost dental office and a ways to go about  paying for my dental services.  I would love an idea of  how much all this would cost.

Reply: My suggestion would be to review our dental HMO insurance plans we offer a few in CA such as California Dental 411, 460 & 595 as well as Delta Dental, Uninted Health Care and PrimeCare.  All of these plan are lower cost dental insurance plans that will greatly reduce your dental care cost.  As far as cost for services each of these plans lay out your cost for each dental service that is covered under the plan. This let you compare and choose the best one for your dental care needs.

With that said you do need to choose a dentist with in their plan providers. I would advise calling the dentist in the plans network and confirming that they still take the plan and in your case ask if they offer any type of payment plan options if cost is still outside your budget to pay in full.

Dental Health, Can having bad teeth really give you a heart attack

30/09/10

My mom has bad teeth and though I keep telling her that she should do something about them she keeps putting of saying that she does not want to toss  her money at a dentist that is going to charge her an arm and leg to fix a few teeth that do not even hurt her.

I think she just afraid of the going to the dentist but I am not sure about that.  She always taught use to take good care of our teeth when we were growing up took us to the dentist twice a year.  I do not understand why she does not take care of her own teeth.

Then one of my friend told me that bad teeth can cause you to have heart problems and even give you a heart attack.  Is this true?  If it is I want to tell my mom so maybe she do more about her teeth.

Dental Health, Why is dental care so expensive

30/06/10

I do not understand why dental services need to be so expensive.  I just got back from my dentist yesterday and was told that I would need two root canals.  I would also need to have the two teeth crowned as well.

I am lucky that at least I have dental insurance with my job. However even with that my cost is going to be almost $2000.  I just feel this is highway robbery.  It is costs like these that keep the middle class families from ever getting ahead.
