How much does it cost(without insurance) to get them removed? Is it safe just to let them come through on their own?

One of my teeth got abscess and I needed penicillen. I went to the pharmacy and bought 20 pills for 50 cents USD in SE Asia. So, now, I'm back in the USA and I am having problems with another tooth. Not having medical coverage and being in severe pain I went to the emergency room to get a penicillen pescript written. When all was said and done it cost me $725 dollars, and thats not even seeing the dentist yet... WOW! Comments?

We are looking for patients who need fillings and cleanings for a dental licensing exam.


(We are licensed dentists in another state (not students) and are looking to relocate to Georgia.)

Is there a limit to the number of teeth I could have removed during one visit? I would like to have what teeth I have left removed so that I can be fitted for full dentures.

My daughter is 21/2 and has just had cold sores in her mouth. She has calcification (tarter build-up) on her 2 top front teeth and bleeding gums. We brush her teeth daily. Her bottom teeth at the front have come up crooked. At 21/2 she is just 11kg and has only put on a kg in 12 months - she still wears a size 1. Her speech is above average. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong??

I was in a lot of pain this week with my cavity and my lower wisdom teeth. When I went to my dentist and he told me that I have early Periodontal disease and 2 more cavities on top of it. He quoted me at $4200 for all of the work to be done, including filling the 3 cavities and the root scaling and planing (3 visits). He said it didn't include oral surgery or the endo. I know my back teeth are in rough shape due to having Bulimia for a number of years. But does $4200 sound right? He didn't give me anything for the pain, what OTC items would be best?
I know a lot of the cost can probably be chalked up to the fact that I don't have insurance, as I just moved here. I left my job and moved back home to care for my father who just had a stroke. So at the moment, getting a job is out of the question. I was trying to see if Maine has a low-cost clinic, but is it going to give me good care? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone know how good and safe Rembrent toothpast is? It is more money and it claims to keep your teeth really white. Thanks for answering my question.

Long story short, I've had porcelian over metal crowns over my 2 front teeth for the past 10 years. I haven't had a single problem out of these crowns, then suddenly last night the left one became loose. I bit down on a cinnimon bun, of all things, and felt sort of a pop, bit down entirely and my bite was off. Went to the ladies room and checked it out, the crown shifted bottom forward.

I have had no odd taste or odor out of these crowns that typically signify a failing cement bond. I recently switched to Rembrandt toothpaste, if that possibly has anything to do with it. Why would the bond suddenly fail without warning?

The second issue is that ever since placement, my gums have been slightly blue. They do not bleed and they are not painful. I brush and floss daily, so it can't be due to poor dental hygine. No dentist has ever been able to recommend something to fix the blue tinge. I plan on asking my dentist AGAIN tomorrow if there's anything I can do.

Advice appreciated.

Hi, tommorow I'm going to be having a gum graph. They will be taking a piece of gums from the roof of my mouth and putting it over a part of my lower tooth. Does anyone know what the pain will be like? Will the novacaine needle hurt?

Pain in my upper last molar tooth, so unsure if it's dying or not? If tooth is dying does it pay to get a root canal plus crown on it, or have it extracted ? What are the chances of having to do an extraction if root canal and crown are done? Can a molar tooth be ok with a root canal and crown, or will it have to be removed anyway? What happens to the other teeth if a molar tooth is removed?
