Where in the northeast wisconsin area can I get free or very low cost dental work?
I have very little income and need dental work done?
Hi! I have been in dentistry for over 25 years. Shhh lol
Two things to try. The local hospitals that have a free dental clinic. I use to volunteer then 1 wednesday a month and did free dental from 9-5. Sometimes I would come in the next day or week later to finish. That was my pay it forward to help others get good dentistry and little or no cost. Also I would help teach the new dental students. They are real dentists, so don't panic, they want to do go so they get a position.
Second is the dental schools themselves. Even though it is a wait, you will get good care because the dental student is graded.
If you do not want to do this, call the local dental board of your State and ask what new dentists have started in your area. They may do a sliding fee. I did in the beginning to build up my practice and get new patients. Also you could work out a payment plan and a step by step treatment and I do one free thing a year for each patient that has lots of dental work done. So if they need 4 crowns, I charge them for 3 1/2. That's a 500. savings. If they need 4 fillings I charge them for 3. That's about 175. for a very large filling. Only it they schedule to do them all at once(obviously in reason). I put head phones on, or crank up the TV and they hold a teddy bear and off we go. It is just as easy for me to do three fillings side by side then bring the patient back and have to give them a shot three times. Also since I already have the materials out, I can do them all at once and the patient doesn't have to come back. Be up front and tell the detist what you can afford. Tell him you want to have your confindence back with a great smile and you know it will be time and money consuming, but you can only do it if he can work with you. I do it all the time. I'd rather cut back the cost and help the patient, then be so money hungry they can not get care and are very sad. But I too have to pay by staff, overhead and me. So I can only do so much a year. I wish I could do more. If I ever hit the lottery, I would work for free!! Marie

Reply:Check out the Texas University Dental Schools where they are trained to be dentists. Often times they do dental work at a reduced cost.

Reply:Go to a dental college. I've known people that have gone and completely trust the students. You will only have the ones that are about to graduate work on your teeth and the dentist sits right there to ensure everything is running smoothly.

Reply:Become a dentist.
Reply:Look in the phone book for a local dental school or ask a local dentist what he would suggest or if he knows of a local dental school. Sometimes the wait is longer, but the prices are very affordable. Some dentists will take some money down and then payments on your dental work. You very rarely get extensive dental work done all in one day, so everytime he goes in for more dental work, he could bring another payment with him. Maybe they will work with him. Good Luck.
Reply:Your friend can get a very affordable dental plan here: www.everyonebenefits.com/LMota That's what I have and it saves a lot of money.
Reply:go to dental school if you don't mind students will do work on the teeth in New York the NYU is the best i heard and very affordable. Or go to bellevue hospital you can get it for free or low cost they go by the income but it takes about a month to get appoitment but dentists are profesionals over there go to http://nyc.gov/html/hhc/bellevue/home.ht...
Reply:It is not clear what are the procedures involved in the extensive dental work needed for this less privileged person. It is also not clear how much or what percentage of money you are ready or willing to contribute to the (noble) cause. If you are considering to foot the bill and somehow cannot afford in New York, then send this person overseas and let both of you smile broad for respective reasons. Dental care dubai tour may be of help.
Reply: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.
Call your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.
Your 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."
Go to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.
Check http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.
Check http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.
Check 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.
Reply:There's a company out there that helps people who do not have and need affordable dental benefits. It includes all basic things and then surgery, crowns, even orthodontics. There's no high premiums, deductibles, co-pays, waiting periods, or anything like that at all. They can save you up to 80% on your out of pocket expenses for a very small fee every month. It could end up saving your friend several thousands $$. Try this website and you can check out the specifics and providers in your area. http://www.mybenefitsplus.com/40424269 They are wonderful. I have benefits through them as well. Hope you find what you need. Please email me if you have any questions, and I'd be happy to help you if I can. Best of luck.

What kind of sedative do they use when doing dental work on children?
My daughter has a dental appt to get dental work and they will have to use a general ansthetic on her. My husband is allergic to a certian kind, I'm not so he is afraid it is going to hurt my daughter. We have called the ansthetic people twice, but no return calls. Does anyone on here know?
What kind of sedative do they use when doing dental work on children?
Whoa! They aren't returning calls. That is NOT acceptable and you need to find a new oral surgeon immediately.
What you need to do is request a pre-procedure meeting with your oral surgeon/dentist. If someone else administers the sedatives, that person (not a representative) must be present. You (or your insurance) may need to pay, but given that this can be a life-or-death matter, it's worth it.
The anesthesiologist (whether this is a specialty or the oral surgeon) will ask for the family history. Based on information provided by your husband, a course of action will be determined. that may include testing your daughter. Or choosing a different sedative.
If a general is used, nitrous oxide is the old standby. I understand it's used less and less, however.
In the end, you need to speak to the anesthesiologist/oral surgeon and NOT take advise from people on the internet.

Non-Narcotic Pain Medications and My Dental Work?
I have to undergo some fairly major dental work in the next 2 weeks and I am so concerned about pain relief. I'm an ex-narcotic addict. Are there any medications that my Dentist can prescribe that would help me if I absolutely have to have something stronger than Tylenol or ibuprofen? This is just a big concern for me. I was honest with her and told her of my past problems with Vicodin. She was appreciative that I told her. I know we should trust our healthcare professionals and I do, but I am not sure that she has encountered this situation before. She didn't act like she had.
Non-Narcotic Pain Medications and My Dental Work?
HELLO DONNA,
THE ANSWER IS MOTRIN 800mg TABLETS EVERY 4-6 HOURS AS NEEDED FOR PAIN.
THE SAME EFFECT CAN BE OBTAINED BY TAKING 4 (FOUR) 200mg IBUPROFEN (ADVIL) TABS. THIS IS AN NSAID OR NON-NARCOTIC NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PAIN MEDICINE FOUND TO BE BETTER THAN CODEINE FOR PAIN RELIEF.
Reply:There are some non-narcotic pain relievers that do work fairly well such as ultram. Be careful- just because they aren't "phyically addictive" doesn't ,mean they can't be habit forming.
Reply:There are other alternatives to pain medication besides narcotics. You definately are not the only person that has ever had a problem with narcotic addiction. It literally happens all of the time. If this is the first time she's heard a patient tell her that, it's rather her first day on the job or past patients have not been open about their problem. If you would like to find out your options try researching: Non-Opiod Analgesics or NSAIDS.(Both are non-narcotic pain medications)
Reply:Yeah, I know what you mean but I have some bad news for you. I think you are going to have to tough it out with advil and tylenol.
While Ultram is non-narcotic, it is not recommended for patients that have ever had an addiction to alcohol or narcotics. Do not use Ultram (tramadol) if you have ever been addicted to narcotics, it's far too similar and you will be in trouble. There is current legislation to add tramadol to the controlled substances list, even though it is not a narcotic.
"You should not take tramadol if you have ever been addicted to drugs or alcohol. Take tramadol exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take it in larger doses or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Do not take more than 300 milligrams of tramadol in one day." ~ www.drugs.com
About that look she gave you: I have known dentists to refuse novicaine-type injections to those patients that have had previous alcohol or drug problems. So if I were you, I would be sure she intends to numb you prior to your procedure. She might not want to use anything for numbing which is barbaric practice, so be sure to ask. They have topical numbing agents and injectables so I always request both.
I'm sure it's going to be hard, but your best bet is to alternate advil and tylenol, hon. Take enough time off of work to lay around and sleep through it. And please do not ask for or take ultram unless you want to be back at square one with your addiction.
Reply:If you have no medical contraindications, I agree totally with Dr. Albert.

Where can you go for cheap dental work near Toronto, canada?
For someone that has no health insurance and needs a bridge / implant or crown who normally resides in Toronto - which nearby countries are recommended for both a nice relaxing holiday and a chance to have such dental work done and what are the sort of likely costs involved? Looking at places that are not too expensive to reach by plane - so mainly consider Mexico, Brazil, Chile, etc.
Where can you go for cheap dental work near Toronto, canada?
Try to visit a Dental School around your area, they need patients for their Dental students. Usually the cost for treatment is a fraction of what you would pay at a regular dentist. Example: Cost of a Crown at a regular dentist: $750.00. Cost of a Crown at a Dental School: $202.00
Good Luck
