I already posted here about in- network bad dentist in Illionois and have scheduled new appt with a different dentist. Called my insurance company to get a complaint form. They don't seem too concerned about paying this guy for services he did not perform and can not give me the specific definition for these codes on my EOB. They are the same codes on my EOB from last year in Indiana. Dentist in Indiana did complete exam of every tooth and full x-rays (bitewing and panoramic). Dentist in Illinois did 20 second exam of a couple of teeth (not kidding!), did not record anything and only did bitewing x-rays because he told me panoramic x-rays were a waste of time. He is billing of the exact same codes as my dentist in Indiana! What exactly should a COMPREHENSIVE oral evaluation include? What should COMPLETE x-rays include? Canceled husband's appt with the first dentist and he went to the second dentist and had the complete everything like we are used to. Should I pursue this?

Ok, so when I got braces, I have four teeth pulled out, and I thought I wouldn't have to deal with wisdom teeth. But then I think I just got one, so I'm wondering if they are all suppose to come out at the same time and if it's possible to just have one.

I recently had a dental appointment and the dentist told me that I need braces that will last for 2-3 years. I am 19 and have never had braces and I want to know what they are like. Do they hurt really bad? I have been advised by many people to get the clear type. Is this good advice and why?

I am a college student with no insurance. I work part time and I cannot afford to take out another loan to fix my teeth. I've managed to pay for most of the major repairs but now i am left with an awful looking yellow front tooth that is ruining my smile. The tooth has already been broken in half and the bonding is getting old and chipping. Does anyone know of any extremely cheap dentists to help me repair this terrible tooth? I'm desperate!

okay. so my top two adult incisors never grew in and after i had my braces removed (about 3 years ago) all my teeth had been moved so that there were no gaps where my incisors should have been. since i got probably my first teeth x-rays i've been down for getting at least four veneers for my front teeth because there was bound to be some cosmetic need for them. now that i've already had braces, my orthodontist thinks all that's left for me is the veneers. but the guy totally screwed up with my teeth! when he moved them together he also moved them FAR back and when you look at my profile you can see how much my top lip recedes. i know i need something to basically undo what the orthodontist did. and probably have some implants put in where my missing insicors are? i want my front teeth back where they were so my profile looks normal! and then i guess i'll get the veneers if i still need them. so my question is: will a palette expander do the trick? (along with the two implants) thanks!!

Composit allergies ? Hands (even when covered in either vinyl or latex gloves) become red, blotchy and very itchy. We know the reaction is either to the composite or to the bond. Anyone out there experienced the same thing or has info, it would be very appreciated. It is driving my wife insane and it may affect the outcome of her continued proffession in dental care.

Incidentally if the proffession has to be left does the Canadian government pay for re-training due to it being a medical allergy?

Hi , I am very interested in a career in dental laboratory work. How and where did you get your training? How do I find a school or college that has this degree/training ? How long was the training ? What is the job like? How much can I expect to earn ? Are jobs plentiful? What are the general hours days like? Any chance for advancement? Is it rewarding work ? Do you have to be artist or mechanically inclined ?I live in the NY metro area .
