Q. I have Delta dental. The dentists that I've asked said it is not something they do. I have extreme gag reflexes and dental sensitivity. After having done both, I would rather be hit in the face with a baseball bat then have a dental dam inserted in my mouth... It really is that bad for me. I'm willing to pay, I know that my coverage won't take care of this. I just want to know if there is any use in continuing to try to find a dentist to do this.
A. Ask your dentist for a prescription for "Ativan".
You will have to have someone drive you to and from the dentist, but its worth it.
I have bad gag reflexes also, and it works great.
3 hrs goes by in what feels like 10 minutes.

Can i apply for Delta Dental Insurance if i do not have health insurance?
Q. Am i capable of applying and purchasing Delta Dental Insurance even if i did not have health insurance?
A. Maybe. Dental insurance is not connected to health insurance so yes, you can buy dental without having health insurance. However, you may not be able to purchase Delta Dental. In most states they only have group insurance, you can buy individual policies in only a few states. So if it is available as an individual plan in your state you can buy it.
If you need dental care soon you may want to look into a dental school because dental insurance will have waiting periods before you can get full benefits of a policy. Oftentimes the cost at a dental school is less than the cost at your local dentist with insurance. The students are supervised by a dentist as their working on you.

How much does Delta Dental Premier pay towards wisdom teeth extractions?
Q. If you have Delta Dental Premier as your dental insurer and/or have personal experience with the workings of dental insurance companies, it would be greatly appreciated. The codes for the extractions are 7230 and 7240 if these are of any use. Thanks!
A. You could call your dentist and they could probably tell you. My dentist always let me know the prices ahead of time or you could try calling Delta dental.
Is it possible for dental insurance to cover filling a chipped tooth?
Q. Okay, so I called my insurance (delta dental), and I asked them if they covered filling a chipped tooth, and they said yes. Then, when I went to go see the dentist he told me it's cosmetic and that my insurance won't cover it. I told him my insurance already told me that they did, and he responded by telling me that no insurance covers anything cosmetic. Is this true, and did my insurance just lie to me or make a mistake?
A. some do and some dont. Hear is what i suggest.
1. Check what the ADA (American Dental Association) code is for the procedure that they would do.
They should give you that code, and then call your insuranceand ask them what they cover on that specific procedure, and here is why. Depending on how they fill the tooth, it may actually fall under a catagory for a normal filling, which means your insurance would pay money.
So that is my first suggestion. Second is to buy something called a dental discount plan. You can have both that and a traditional insurance, but they usually do cover some on cosmetic procedures. I know for a fact the dental plan at http://www.1dental.com/ does cover some on cosmetic procedures.
The things to check is if that dentist will be available on that discount plan. But what you might even be able to do to save even more is to use the discount plan at the dental office and then file the rest with your insurance personally, and that might drop the price significantly for you.
So to summarize...
1. Ask the for the ADA code for the procedure. Those are standard codes that all dentist use.
2. Then call your insurance and see if they cover that specific ADA code and what that would cost.
3. If they do...
GREAT! call the dentist and tell them, and or have your insurance tell them whats up.
3. Or if not...
Get a discount plan, see what they cover on that ADA code and go to a dentist that uses that dental discount plan
4. Personally (because more than likely your dentist office wont want to) file the rest of what that trip to the dentist cost you, and they might send you some reimbursement.
I hope that helps!
