I’ve been looking for a job for a long time, but I can’t find one. I really want to take care of my dental issues (I know I need one root canal and two small fillings), but my parents can’t afford how high it is (esp. for a root canal). But I hate to wait because the things that are small issues only grow into bigger issues… I’m thinking about going to the local dental school, but I’m wondering if I can afford even that right now.

I need dental work and am looking into dental plans. But I think that I am going to move out of state probably in about 5 months. Is there any national dental plans, or plans that I can stay on after I move out of state?

I need cosmetic, reconstructive dental work done on my teeth but I live in the US (New York) and it is horribly out of this world expensive, plus I don’t think the dentists are that good as I’ve been to a few supposedly good ones and didn’t have great experiences.
So I am thinking of taking 2-3 weeks off work to travel to another country for vacation/dental work. Where is the best place to go? What is the process? Do I contact some sort of agency in the US or do I just go to the specified country on my own and do my own planning, etc from scratch?
What is the best way?

Any input very much appreciated!

can someone explain to me what a deductible is?

I was wondering if its possible – id like some dental insurance but i dont need vision or any other extras.

I have a Bachelors with a double major in Political Science and Urban Studies and a Master in Urban Planning with an emphasis on community development (social and economic aspects of urban planning). I got the masters in 1997. I have had no more formal university education in 10 years and I am in my mid-30s. I have been working in the affordable housing industry as a staff assistant, property manager and administrator.

I had always planned to pursue my education further and family and friends thought the same, but I got to eat and pay bills. I’ve always had a thirst for knowledge and research and finding out things for either the sake or learning or to apply it to something. I got my masters straight after getting my bachelors, so I had been in school 6 straight years after high school, so some associates joked about me not been in the real world. Now, after 10 years in the real world, I now have the ironic opposite problem of trying to find the best way to get back into "academic" shape. Heck, I’ve only been to the public library three times since getting my masters. I do have lots of practical continued education related to my job or keeping up with standard office software and do have a lot of books from my own library that I read, however.

These are some options I’m exploring:
(1) Take some classes at local state university and/or through distance education colleges to get study habits back and strenthen transcript (it is possible, though not necessarily an absolute goal that I could get second bachelors from this route from a college like Excelsior), then pursue PhD
(2) Pursue the MBA, then pursue PhD
(3) Pursue Masters Degree in another area such as economics or geography that complements my previous education on the political science and urban studies side, then pursue PhD

Back 10 years ago when I was still in grad school, the professor who was my advisor had suggested to me that I go to an MBA program. I had not thought about going to get an MBA before, but he saw that I had loaded up my urban planning coursework with electives in social statistics and economics (he knew I could have taken a lot easier courses). He wanted me to consider going to a place like Wharton. He felt that the combination of a masters in urban planning and an MBA would be a dynamic combination for someone interested in community development. I considered that, but like I said, I need to eat and since I came from very modest means (poor), I needed to work. I am was already in debt trouble, so I wasn’t interested in taking on more student loans and will not ever take out any more student loans (and I intend to self-finance any future education and/or pursue any available grants).

Now that I’ve been out for so long, not only am I academically rusty but I’ve also lost contacts with potential recommenders (a few of whom have since passed including my graduate advisor). So as I see it, at the minimum I need to take a few college courses just to make sure I still got the touch, as well as for the regular business of getting recommenders and strengthening my transcript.

I anticipate that the pursuit of the PhD in my situation will be a 8-12 year project. I’m now in my mid-thirties, so I would hope to have the PhD completed by the time I’m in my early to mid-forties. I expect to start my comeback with a course this Fall. For the next year or so, I expect to stay enrolled continuously either in a traditional course or distance education course.

I m a single mother, my college counselor has me on financial aide, but I still got a bill in the mail. My friend told me I should have gotten a grant to live off of until I finish college.

So that I don’t have to pay any fees.
oh because I have one real crappy insurance and one great one and like the good one covers 90% of one procedure and the other one can cover the last 10 %, the other procedure is covered 50% by one and also 50% by the other.
Some folks tell me yes. Some folks told me no insurance company’s won’t pay if another company paid part, I’m thinking why the heck not? I’m paying both you!

I have been trying to find out information to compare the two, and can’t get a solid answer. Are Dental Assistants the same as Dental Hygienist? How much does Dental Hygienist make a year?

I have a M.A. in English and am currently teaching for a couple of online schools, but I need to pick up another class. Anyone know of any openings?

I am a single mom who wants to go to school for a radiology technician degree. I am going to need financial aid for this, and have no idea what to do when it comes to grants and loans. I have tried applying online, but they all want to know things like when I will graduate,and etc. I am not enrolled in any school yet, and have no idea where to start. Any advice will be helpful. Thank You!

1) Do you feel pain due to cold or hot food once you extract a tooth ?
2) Does the gun close up the cavity left after extracting a tooth and how long would it take ?
3) What other caises can there be for tooth sensitivity once a tooth has been extracted ? Any experiences ?

I know someone that needs dental insurance and has no social security number, is there such thing as getting it with out?

What criteria do insurance companies use to approve you for insurance benefits? I submitted an application for health and dental insurance & have poor credit so I’m wondering if this could be a reason I won’t get approved. My family was on Medicaid, but as soon as finances looked better we wanted to be on regular health insurance. I’m just curious what a person would do if they aren’t approved for insurance? I have two small kids that really need to be insured for obvious reasons, but also my son was born with a heart condition that was repaired, but he does require ongoing treatment. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
