Dental benefits for braces, If I do not get braces what would happen. I live in Texas and I have not been to a dentist in over six years since I never could afford to have dental insurance. My teeth were starting to hurt me so I went to a dentist in Mexico that told me I have eight cavities.
He also stated that I should get braces since I had an overbite and a few crooked teeth. But even getting braces in Mexico will cost me more money then what I can currently afford. I am 23 and I have self esteem issues as they are I am not sure I could deal with having metal braces in my mouth for over two years. I am not sure if I should get a second opinion or what I should do.

I know I need at least two filling and a new crown. I have a new cavity under my crown which I told that to have the filling done they can not save the crown and then I have another tooth that has a two service cavity that also needs to be addressed.
I know I needed this work done two months ago but have not yet did it because of lack of money. I wanted to shop out dentist as well as maybe get dental insurance. So I would need to have something that would not have a waiting periods for the services I mention. What would be a good plan to shop and how do I know my cost for my services needed when looking at the coverages.

I have this cavity that I know about for some time. I do not have much money but would like to get it fixed. I do not want to spend a bunch of money on dental insurance when I should be getting my dental insurance with my job in another few months. Will getting a dental discount plan really save me money off a filling and how would I really know?

What can I do? I was told that I have three cavities in my molars two on top and one on the bottom. I do not have dental insurance. I am not in major pain but one of the cavities is hurting me on and off.
The dentist will not take a payment plan from any one. I was quoted 250.00 for all the filling needed but only have about 100.00. I would have to wait another two months before I would have 250.00 but that only if I do not spend my money during that time. Advise please. Living in AZ.

My two old son has three small cavities in his baby teeth. I do not have dental insurance but I took my son for his first dental appointment at two as I was advise to do only to find out he has these cavities now.
I do not have the kind of money really needed to have the filling done. I been looking for dental insurance. But the plans I seen have a three to six months waiting period for fillings. Will getting a dental discount plan really help save me money?

Well my fiances filling fell out yesterday. I tried calling his dentist for a dental appointment but the dentist he goes to now is only open during my fiances work hours. My fiances will not ask for a day off from work to get his tooth fixed.
He says he can not afford to ask for days off when he just got the job two months ago. I understand but I do not think it is a good to not have fixe right away. How long can he wait on fixing his filling any advise on getting him to go?

I am a liltle worried I was just told by my dentist that I have a small cavity in one of my back molars. I have never had a cavity before so this is upsetting news to me. My dentist set up an appointment to come back to have the filling done in a week from now.
Since I never had any cavities before I do not know what it is like to get a filling. Is it scary? Does it hurt a lot to have done? How long will I be in pain for?
