Dental care with braces, My son has been in braces for the past six months.

Apr. 9th 2011

Dental care with braces, My son has been in braces for the past six months. In that time he still complains about them hurting him. His dentist stated his teeth are getting yellow and although that can be cleaned up after the braces are removed he is not flossing like he should.

My son states he does floss but it his hard to do a good job with braces on. I do not want to pay for braces just so my son teeth will rot out later on. Advise on better flossing and dental care. Also should his braces still be hurting him.

My son is new to having to have braces on.  I expected them to hurt him a little but he saying that his teeth and jaw really are sore and is in pain.  He can only seem to eat soft foods right now and I feel really bad for him.  He had them on now for three days about how much longer will it take for him to adjust to his braces?

Baby dental care, Space maintainers and braces.

Nov. 20th 2010

My four year old son lost two teeth in the top front too soon do to an accident at play school.   My dentist could not save them and he had to get space maintainers.  Will this mean he many now need to have braces?

I worried since my current dental insurance does not cover for any type  of braces.  I am not sure if I should start finding another dental insurance plan for my son now just in case he needs braces or wait and see.

Research should be done finding a qualified dentist in the area of the policyholder before the purchase of cheap dental insurance for braces is made.  Once a qualified dentist has been found, the policyholder should mention the dental insurance for braces plan to the dental receptionist and confirm the costs associated with establishing a patient doctor relationship for receiving braces.  One is to get the classic dental insurance for braces, and the other is to get a dental discount plan.

Also, when you consider dental insurance for braces, you should remember to check whether your dental insurance provider offers a long list of dentists or orthodontists and how much freedom you will have in choosing which dentist you want.  If you have dental insurance for braces then you will get other benefits in addition to your policy.  Dental insurance for braces allows people to make this extremely expensive service available, and decrease the on-budget expenditures.  Consider getting a dental insurance for braces, especially if you are going to have them applied.  So if you are thinking about getting a professional orthodontist service your finances are surely to be planned and you are to have a special kind of dental insurance for braces.

Baby Dental Insurance, My son needs dental spacers

Jun. 26th 2010

My son needs to have dental spacers.  My son baby teeth came out too soon.  I was told by the dentist he needs to have dental spacer put in so that his adult teeth will come in correctly.  My problem is two folds.

One:  My son pulled out three of his teeth.  They were only a little loose but he played with them so much until he pulled them out.  This is very upsetting to me and I hope that my son understands what he did was wrong.  The dentist tells me this happens all the time to try not to be too upset over it but I can not help to wonder why and heck would he do something like that.

Two:  If I get spacers can he pull them out?  Who knows what he will do next and if they are expensive I do not want to keep paying to have them put back in all the time.  Any one have any information on how spacers work ?

Baby Dental, Braces for a eight year old.

Jun. 20th 2010

I was told my by family dentist that my son is looking like he will need to have braces.  He has very crooked baby teeth and my family dentist said I should start looking into seeing a Orthodontic dentist for a consult.   My current dental insurance does not offer any coverages for braces.

When I shop out other insurance plans that offer children braces they show cost for only class 1,2 a 3 but I am not sure what that means to me.  How do I know which class my son would need what if it is not 1, 2 or 3 would I still have coverages?   Could use help with this so I know I am buying a plan that will work for me.

Looking for a non group dental plan for braces I can get for my son

Jun. 14th 2010

My son is thirteen and I was told by his dentist that I should be looking into getting him braces.  He has a big over bite that the dentist said I should have fixed.   I do have dental insurance though my job but it really does not cover much for braces only 200.00 a year so that is not much at all.   I am looking for a dental insurance plan that covers more for the cost of braces that I could buy just for my son.   Is there anything like that I could get for him?

Dental, Orthodontic question about Baby teeth.

Jun. 11th 2010

My Daughter may need some serious dental work

I took my sixteen year old daughter to her dentist.  She has still two baby teeth which are her two top eye teeth.   The dentist took X-rays to see if she show any signs of having her permanent teeth yet.   He said there seems to be there but that they are up high.

He is saying that she would need to have both baby teeth pulled and in order to make room for the permanent teeth to come out straight and she would also need to have braces.  Not only that but they may need to pull the adult teeth out slowly with a wire in order to pull it into place.  I do not understand how they go about doing that.   I really do not get all of what he was saying but I think that was what he was telling me I needed to have done for my daughter.

Her baby teeth seem fine right now and I know she should have lost them by now but if her adult teeth are not ready to come out on their own do we really need to do so much dental work?  This seems extensive to me.   I am calling my dental insurance plan to make sure all this would be covered before making a decision but would like to know if anyone else seems to think this is too much and the dentist is just padding up the bill.
