Who would've thought that teeth filing would cost almost $700? If we just take extra care of our health and wellness, I'm sure we can avoid these kinds of things.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cordanospearsdental.com/" rel="nofollow">Caitrin Femia</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560612066506027522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684438489684900452.post-8949283620431632013-02-05T18:15:35.222-08:002013-02-05T18:15:35.222-08:00Wow that is rare, and I can imagine feeling overwh...Wow that is rare, and I can imagine feeling overwhelmed with it.

I know all dental plans are different, but for a divorced homemaker, this is the best I can do right now- and it's certainly better than paying double! Looks like this tooth is close the the inside o my mouth, surface,so I'm hoping it will be a fairly simple surgery (will keep updated).<br /><br />@Crunchy, I've seen some horror pictures of children's teeth from crumbling to double sets- I can't imagine how scary that must be for kids and parents....though I seem to remember handling the dentist better as a child...maybe it was the promise of ice cream after!<br /><br />@Diane, Insurance is so overwhelming in general. For the longest time I could afford insurance, but avoided it because all the plans seemed to vary so much, for just a couple pennies here and there/month. I am glad my insurance covers the TMJ/grinding, but I'm not sure how well I'll adapt tot the night guard!<br />Momma Told Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784219442040902127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684438489684900452.post-36782776275592863682013-02-05T09:48:25.570-08:002013-02-05T09:48:25.570-08:00Wow - what a cool photo, and love the title of you...Wow - what a cool photo, and love the title of your post.<br /><br />My Dad has had a couple extra teeth that grew in on their own.<br /><br />One of my molars didn't come in until I was 28, so Im glad I had space for it and it wasn't painful. Teeth are so interesting but I really do fear the dentist and most of my experiences with dentists have gone badly with the quality of care. I'm always thinking they are out to make the extra buck and I swear that most don't do as good as a job as they should. <br /><br />One of my top 3 most painful moments was getting a tooth pulled about 2 years ago. The roots were extremely long and twisty...I cannot believe it did not break on the way out. <br /><br />Good luck on your extra tooth.Yona Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661104349650032168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684438489684900452.post-31404276102647238092013-02-05T07:44:57.427-08:002013-02-05T07:44:57.427-08:00My dental insurance is $23 a week for my fiance an...My dental insurance is $23 a week for my fiance and I and it does not cover TMJ OR teeth grinding. We tried to go through medical but Medical refuses to cover either because it is a "dental problem". I had to pay $500 out of pocket for my nightguard! It fits but it is so thick I drool alot wearing it. I bought a cheap one at the store for like $20 that works the same, although im sure it will wear out much sooner than the professionally made one!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501088156297376048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684438489684900452.post-88294005608259036602013-02-05T06:31:17.116-08:002013-02-05T06:31:17.116-08:00Wow, that is kinda scary.

That doesn't seem to cover near what ours does. My husband has had several fillings and we have a surplus in our account and never pay anything. <br /><br />Secondly, I have had a few family members who have had extra teeth removed. I hate that for you. But look on the bright side, better to have too many teeth than not enough, right?<br /><br />Good luck with your impending surgery. I had my wisdom teeth cut out when I was 12 and 2 cavities and that is all I have ever had. I wish you some of my luck. :)<br /><br />DawnCheap Is The *New* Classyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141542822482280010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684438489684900452.post-66904151547033005892013-02-04T21:09:44.470-08:002013-02-04T21:09:44.470-08:00First time I've seen it and heard about it.

I was wearing one that was very pliable but I guess the stress that I have been under that last year and a half was expressing it harder. It has caused all sorts of tooth sensitivity. I just paid over 500 for my fourth mouth guard and I will be going in for a crown due to a cracked tooth. <br />I am a total dentiphob but I go religiously every six months. It is expensive but I guess I am lucky right now because my husband has dental insurance for both of us. so hopefully they will pay for some of this.Suburban prephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395691728192716148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684438489684900452.post-27056768329471247692013-02-04T17:20:25.524-08:002013-02-04T17:20:25.524-08:00I know it is these types of rare occurrences is no...I know it is these types of rare occurrences is nothing people really want especially when it will cost money instead of making money for for them .
