Help answer the question about dental health

Is there a government program that helps college students with health/dental insurance?
I'm a college student in a Cal State University. I receive financial aid (grants) and I would like to know if there are government programs that will help me or give discount for health/dental insurance?

Thanks

Could be space in between your teeth, with food getting caught and then abscessing slightly, then going away.

Or, a metabolic disease which shows up as gum sores.

Or something you eat or drink — acidic juices, perhaps?

Maybe even a gum you chew, or whitening toothpaste.

I like listerine. My husband prefers crest. Our dentist recommends crest as well.

Check the report below….the average dental yearly costs were under $500, so: 50 percent of people paid UNDER $500 a YEAR to take care of their teeth….
Avg. exam $30
Avg. cleaning $75
Avg. filling $100

These are all less than that last tattoo!

The premium for your health insurance when you go out on your own will vary significantly based on your age and gender.

I have seen decent policys as low as $111 per month for a young male and over $800 per month for someone in their late 50's.

Keep in mind, when you are going into the self employed arena – and you are shopping for health insurance, you can not look at the benefits in the same fashion as your big corporate health insurance policys.

You need to look for the following:

1) minimal internal policy limitations – ie – limints on physical therapy, ambulance, in-patient hospitalization limits

2) Provider Network – make sure you get into a plan that gives you in network access to nationwide doctors

3) Rate guarantees – some carriers are offering 18 and 24 month rate guarantees

4) Get educated on Health Savings Account (HSA) qualified plans – they can save you significant premium and tax dollars

5) Pre-existing condition limitations – if you have pre-existing conditions, be sure to review any exclusions with the policy

6) Use a local broker / agent – they have the most knowledge regarding the policys that work the best in your local area.

Hope this helps

Yes, health subjects are all part of the realm of Science. Ask any dentist how much science they had in college. And in preschool, you can't really go too deep without losing them, so roots and crowns are about as far as you'd want to go. You might start by asking them what they know about bones, get their feedback, and then ask if they've ever seen a bone. Some will think of chicken bones or ribs, but maybe somebody will come up with "teeth" and if they don't, you lead them to that idea. Then jump in to what bones and teeth need to be healthy (calcium) and other ways to take care of bones. Your teeth are the only bones that need cleaning to stay healthy, and viola! You are now into talking about brushing, and maybe flossing. Take some floss (it is cheap, one roll will cover the whole class easily), and ask if they can squish their finger in between their teeth to clean out the in-betweens. No?! Well, how about a toothbrush, does that fit in between? (Take yours, SHOW them with your own teeth). Better, but what if I use this neat string? (Again, SHOW them with yours) then pass out a bit of floss, keep the garbage can right next to you, and pass it around after they all have a try with their own piece of floss. That ensures it all ends up in the trash (no germs, strangulations!!) and it's all cleaned up.

The pH of dental plaque is a key factor from the balance between acid demineralization of the teeth and the remineralization of the initial caries lesion. Plaque pH falls each time acids accumulate from the plaque due to bacterial acid production following the consumption of fermentable carbohydrates – mainly sugars – from foods and drinks.

On the other hand, the plaque pH rises when the acids are washed out and neutralized by saliva, which contains the important buffer, bicarbonate. The pH also rises when the plaque bacteria either metabolize the acids, or produce alkali such as ammonia from nitrogenous compounds found from foods and saliva.

IMO it should. You're right when you say that dental care is just as important as regular care. I've read that people with poor oral hygiene have a higher chance of heart disease. If we had more preventative care and people actually took care of their bodies, we would see a huge reduction in how much it would cost to treat people.

I can't help you with the loan information but can recommend a good discount plan.

Good luck!

Almost all foods contain some form of sugar which causes tooth decay.

All food though if left in the mouth will support the growth of germs and other mouth diseases like gingivitis and gum disease. Plaque build-up will result which pushes the gums away from the teeth giving germs even more space to hide.

Left alone these can lead to bone disease and bone loss.

Same applies to most drinks except water.

Milk is good.

Regular dentist visits will help.

Brushing three times a day and before bed is a must for good hygiene.
