Wisdom teeth, cleaning and dental insurance?
You really need to see a dentists soon to relieve you of


your worries. Best dental plan for the Chicago area


is the eHealthPlus membership. There are no waiting


periods so you can get services right away.
Reply:Re: wisdom teeth - all roots are in the bone, you probably refer to impacted wisdom teeth. Oral surgeons do this procedure all the time so there is nothing to worry about. Most suggest gettting it done on a friday so you have the weekend to recover. Yes it will hurt, but not unmanagable. One bit of warning from personal experience- don%26#039;t take the prescription painkiller (if given) untill absolutely necessary, if at all. They tend to make you sick on the stomach and the last thing you want to be doing is heaving after having wisdom teeth out- that DID hurt.





Re: cleaning - Brush and floss a min of 2 times a day, optimally after every meal. See a dentist for a cleaning 2 times a year.There is no guarantee to be cavity free even with superb hygience, good diet and regular visits to the dentist, but it does reduce your chances of cavities.





Re: insurance. Most individual insurance plans are hard to find, and when you do, they are not great. If you dont have a lot of dental problems, it may be cheaper or you would break even by paying out of pocket for 2 cleanings a year ($200 or so). You may pay more or about the same in your premium and copays.

In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility’s area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.
