The dentist we go to charges

Posted By: 90 bucks or something like that on 2009-05-18
In Reply to: Dental cleaning - price check

We have insurance.  Have you asked your primary care doctor if there is a clinic or something like that to take care of your husband's dental care?  It's worth a shot.  I had heard something about dentists in training offering cleaning and such for a much cheaper rate.  I think the obstacle would be if they found a cavity or whatever.  Good luck to you!  By the way, we are on the East Coast, so not sure if prices vary by region or not.

My dentist office charges if you miss - sm
your appt. (or don't call and cancel 24-hours ahead) But they had me sign a paper acknowledging that they told me this and that I agree to the terms. This sounds totally bogus and a scam to boot. Good luck.
Charges

Phone/internet with Verizon - $51 total/month


Dish Network I think is around $60/month


paypal charges
Is it to late for you to call the company and inform them what has happened to you and ask them to cut you a paper check and then have it cashed somewhere else for a small fee?
why did they opt to press charges?
nm
Sure, like he'd press charges for assault
Doubt it very seriously. Besides, it'd be worth a night in jail to slug a slimeball like that...
The 100K came way after the drug charges
The arrest came say 15 or 20 years before the 100K and the way they spend their money that $100K probably not around too long.
I pay $40.00 for a haircut, color and to get my eyebrows done. She charges $30.00, but I pay her $4

Mine charges $12 (shocking!!) only other profession I know of
whose wages have gone down like MTs - and you do not tip if it is the owner of the shop is my understanding
McDonalds charges a $1 dine-in fee if you eat inside.
I don't tip those who bus the tables. I don't tip the person taking my order. I don't feel the need to tip those people - they are making an hourly rate for the job they do and it does not require hardly any skill at all.

Really think court case, child abuse charges
when another mother breastfed her child past a so called normal age. The poster says do not worry about what others think and the kids did not have to wear braces, but what about emotional issues that might come to pass with a 6 year old still on the boob? Most in this country, I am sure, would agree with these posts that you overstepped bounds in a mother-child relationship when this happened. Some things just should not happen.
That's what my dentist will say, too.

It's just $600 for a crown that my insurance won't cover.  Yikes!


My DH needs to go to the dentist, he refuses. We have been
married 18 years and he hasn't been since we've been married.   I told him I would make an appointment for him and the rest of the family to go and we'd do it all at once and he is adamant that he is NOT going.  I don't know why he doesn't want to go.  I know they will tell him he needs lots of work because he does.  His teeth are rotten, but stained badly and I feel like it is holding him back from advancing in the job market.  I'm going to make appointments tomorrow for the whole family and tell him he's going too.  He'll have to cancel the appointment if he's not going to go and I'm don't plan on telling him the name of the dentist (we are going to a new one since my kids have aged out of the pediatric dentist). 
At next cleaning, would use another dentist
xx
It has already been discussed with the dentist and
her orthodontist. The damage comes from over use of any product, including those treatments one can receive in the dental office setting.
absolutely, but the dentist said that it is...
because of too much sugar and not brushing her teeth in the report. He said he stressed the importance of good oral hygeine, et cetera.
Update about dentist from below post sm
My dentist called me last night and apologized.  She is doing to write off the difference.  She was very nice and I told her I'm not one to complain and I'm not a cheat either.  So we worked out stuff and I will continue to go to her. 
Excellent suggestion on the dentist
He has a cleaning scheduled in June (the soonest we could get him in without missing school) and at 17 he has never had a cavity. Well, the last time he was there was about 8 months ago so he was 16 then if we want to get technical. LOL! Whew, I finally slept last night. Definitely starting to feel a bit better, but I did make his fav. dinner last night, lasagna, and while he ate just fine, normally there are very few leftovers and not even half was eaten. DD suddenly decided yesterday she no longer likes lasagna so all she ate was salad and bread. I know my radar is up now and I will be picking everything apart. Watching what he eats, if he goes to the bathroom shortly after eating, etc. Even though this has been tough, I put my parents through so much more. I really owe them an apology.
you have got the ole stick it to the dentist syndrome
I paid that bill also and it is awful. Tell the dentist you want a different prize.
Does your dentist grope your chest?

Woodland, CA — The attorney for a Woodland dentist told jurors that his client massaged women's chests as part of a medical treatment.


Defense attorney Michael Rothschild told the six-man, six-woman Yolo County jury that Mark Anderson was treating his female clients for temporomandibular disorder, or TMD. The attorney says the condition affects the muscles of the upper body.


Anderson faces 19 felony charges for skin-to-skin contact and one misdemeanor for touching a patient's breasts over her clothing. The incidents occurred between February 2005 and his arrest in August 2007 and brought complaints from 14 women.


One of the initial 20 felonies was dropped Monday as Rothschild and Deputy District Attorney Robert Gorman began closing arguments.


Closing arguments were to continue Tuesday before the case was to go to the jury.


I would also opt for dentures. But get a really good dentist....sm
Sooner or later you will have to get dentures anyways, it looks like that.
Whatfor AL the pain and torture in between?
And do not accept dentures that do not fit or are uncomfortable. Send them back to the lab until the fit is perfect, this is your right, dentures are expensive and if they do not fit right, you will have all sorts of pain, headaches etc...
I had bridges done and I sent them back thrice until they fit, without extra charge. The fist set looked like a 'rollercoaster'!

It seems that you suffered your whole life from calcium deficiency.

Our dentist recommends Crest Whitestrips

My dentist says SOFT toothbrush, never firm!
All these years, everyone thought stiff brushes were better than soft, and the harder and longer you brushed, the better. WRONG! I now have lots of cavity and root issues going on because I have essentially worn off much of the enamel on my teeth between the gumline and the center of the tooth. Have had to have more cavities filled, as well as lots of restorative work. Now I use a soft baby's toothbrush!
My dentist also recommend Crest strips
She said she could do the whitening but it would yield no better result than an OTC product. Check the website too, they may have coupons available that you can print or sign up to receive by mail. I'm finding a lot of brand name product websites do this now.
I had ZOOM in my dentist's office and am very pleased.
I tried Crest White Strips but they didn't do anything. Zoom was pricey, but my teeth were really yellow. They are much, MUCH nicer. I maintain with a 45-minute bleach at home twice a week. Right after I had my teeth whitened, I received a lot of compliments, but people couldn't quite figure out what was different. I heard a lot of "Did you get your hair cut?" and "Did you get new glasses?" LOL.
Tell you dentist to put 'veneers' over your teeth, if you can afford it nm
nm
Without anesthesia, and done by a dentist with severe halitosis. :)
:)
It's true. My kids' dentist told me this yeas ago. sm
If the enamel is brushed away, it exposes the tooth first and they the root is invaded by the decay.

Gums should also be brushed as well as the tongue.
Knew a dentist Candy Treat - for real

A dentist who does breast exams should lose his licence. Besides...
I categorily refuse manual breast exams. If I want to check fir cancer, I go for a mommogram.
Find a dentist advertised as gentle that will put him under for work being done. They're out
