Where can i find cheap dental work in Southern California?

November 29th, 2011

Question by DuckieHelp.: Where can i find cheap dental work in Southern California?
I’m under the age of 18 and my parents have horrible dental insurance. Their dental insurance covers less than 10%. I need to find a place that has rather cheap dental work, but not at a dental school. (I need a lot of work done). Thanks.

Hey at a dental school the need a lot of work to do. The only disadvantage of a dental school is it is very slow, but very thorough.

Should kids be allowed to chew gum at school to promote dental health?

November 29th, 2011

Question by tonystewartfreak: Should kids be allowed to chew gum at school to promote dental health?
I chewed gum almost every day while growing up (sugar-free of course), and didn’t get a cavity until I was 26. I asked my dentist if the gum helped, and he said that it does help to remove food from your teeth after you eat. Since schools claim to be concerned about the dental health of children, but don’t allow them time to brush their teeth, wouldn’t it be beneficial for the children to be able to chew a piece of gum after meals?

Best answer:

Answer by Amir B.
I would definitely say yes to that. I brush after every meal I eat, but in school I don’t have time. Chewing gum helps get the food out and gives my breath a good smell. I would promote chewing gum in all schools (as long as nobody distracts anyone, of course).

How come dental insurance isn’t like health insurance?

November 29th, 2011

Question by haha1000: How come dental insurance isn’t like health insurance?
If you have a broken arm you get surgery and get it fixed
You pay a certain amount and there is no limit

How come if you have a broken mouth…You only get a small portion with dental insurance.

If dental / oral health can ruin overall health..shouldn’t dental health be like going to the doctors and getting what needs to be done …done…regardless of ability to pay but allow the dentist to make full profit like a doctor in a hospital?

Because some dental insurance doesn’t cover all what happens to your mouth. You have to buy enough to have your whole mouth covered in the insurance.

What is the best mouth wash for your overall dental and oral health?

November 29th, 2011

Question by WOODSEY NILES: What is the best mouth wash for your overall dental and oral health?
Which mouth wash is best for your dental health? I ask specifically which is best for your overall health, because I know there are products which target bad breath. Some of them do that very well, but are they the best for your overall dental health?

So, which mouth wash is best overall?

Answer by dragonsong
The Gorn King – for OVERALL DENTAL AND ORAL HEALTH? Skip the regular mouthwashes and use hydrogen peroxide as your mouthwash.

if you look at the list of ingredients in most tooth whitening products (including the strips) you may notice that the tooth whitening ingredient is some form of Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide will not only whiten your teeth it also kills the bacteria in the mouth that causes cavities and bad breath.

Every morning and before bed after brushing and flossing use Hydrogen Peroxide as your mouth wash. You can buy hydrogen peroxide (3% in the brown bottle) at your local drugstore for about $ 2 for a 32 ounce bottle. Mix ½ ounce hydrogen peroxide with ½ ounce hot water and swirl in your mouth for about 1 minute (hydrogen peroxide is odorless and tasteless but it FOAMS and may sting your mouth a bit). After swirling, spit out the hydrogen peroxide (DO NOT SWALLOW) and then rinse your mouth out several times with cool water. A 32 ounce bottle will last about one month.

Using hydrogen peroxide will prevent cavities, whiten your teeth and freshen your breath at a fraction of the cost of regular mouthwash.

How do you apply to dental schools?

November 29th, 2011

Question by Steve: How do you apply to dental schools?
I am an upcoming sophomore, but I would like to know how to apply to dental schools beforehand. I heard that in order to apply to dental schools, we have to take the DAT (Dental Admissions Test). I would like to know more about applying to dental schools. This can also help other people who are planning to go to dental schools in the near future. Thank you.
