If you haven't had any dental work for a while, you may experience "sticker shock" next time you go! Most dental work is very expensive. I'm going to show you how you can manage to afford it. Also if you want a GREAT home-based business, look for the big question mark and check out the business details below.

Would You Like Your Smile to Look More Like This?

Do you need gum surgery?

Your gum tissue provides a frame or form to shape to the top of your tooth. If your gums are compromised, your smile is less attractive than it could be. Gum disease (gingavitis) can cause your teeth to become loose. In bad cases of gum disease you will need to see a specialist called a periodontist. Periodontal plastic surgery, can correct almost any deformity or gingivitus problems. As we age, our gums may shrink and recede which makes our teeth look longer. If your teeth appear to be too short, gum sculpting is often the solution. The dentist uses a laser to remove the excess tissue, which then exposes more of your tooth.

Ameriplan has a benefit package which includes specialists such as periodontists. Ameriplan is a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, The Consumer Health Alliance and the National Association of Dental Plans. Check to see if there is a participating provider in your area.

Is Something to Smile About

Do You Have Halitosis - Bad Breath?

Just about everyone has bad breath (Halitosis) at some time, with about a quarter of the population having bad breath on a regular basis. About ten percent of chronic cases of halitosis are due to the metabolism of certain types of medications, medical conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, or liver disease. The remaining ninety percent can blame their smelly breath on the degradation of naturally occurring bacteria in the mouth. Typically fifty percent of the bacteria are in the back of your mouth under taste buds. Therefore brushing your tongue is important.

For chronic bad breath, the problem may be easily resolved by using good oral hygiene. I do have a favorite mouth wash called Thieves Fresh Essence Mouth Wash which is excellent at killing bacteria. It is a potent proprietary blend of therapeutic grade essential oils which are safe for internal use. I HIGHLY recommend both Thieves Mouth Wash and a toothpaste called Dentarome, both of which can be ordered on-line at the highlighted site. You will need my sponsor #322979 in order to become a member before you can order.

Using a tongue scraper on a regular basis will also reduce bacteria at the back of your mouth. Avoiding foods such as onions, garlic, and cabbage will also help as these foods produce sulfurous gases as you digest them.

If You Know Someone With Halitosis Would You Say Anything to Them?

The Germ Terminator Toothbrush Sanitizer


Germ Terminator Toothbrush Sanitizer


Research shows that germs can remain and breed on wet toothbrushes after brushing, potentially prolonging infections such as gum disease or sore throats. And, because airborne bacteria can move from toothbrush to toothbrush (and from other sources in the bathroom), opportunistic infections, like periodontal disease and common colds/flu, can easily be passed from one person to another when unsanitized toothbrushes are stored together. The Germ Terminator Toothbrush Sanitizer provides a clean, healthy toothbrush every time you brush your teeth. The Germ Terminator is the only toothbrush sanitizer to use natural steam and dry heat to kill greater than 99.9999% of germs on your toothbrush and store it in a completely germ-free environment between brushings. The Germ Terminator works with electric and manual toothbrushes. The product is FDA-cleared (510k-clearance) and is modeled after the steam device in dental offices to sterilize instruments.

When do you need a dental bridge?

Do you have any missing teeth?

If you have a space in your mouth, a bridge can be custom made to fill in the space with a false tooth. The false tooth is attached by the bridge to the two other teeth around the space - bridging them together. Your dentist will remove part of the adjoining teeth to accommodate for the thickness of the crown. When these adjoining teeth already have fillings, part of the filling could be left in place to help as a foundation for the crown.

Sometimes dentists will use a Flipper appliance. A Flipper is a temporary false tooth to take the place of a missing tooth before the permanent bridge is placed. A Flipper can be attached using either a wire or a plastic piece that fits in the roof of your mouth. Flippers are meant to be a temporary solution.

If you do not take good care of your teeth, you can become very sick - especially if you get an infection. We can help you to save 25% minimum on all restorative dental procedures for a reasonable monthly cost at Ameriplan. Have a look! Or if you just need preventative work such as cleanings and X-rays you can save up to 80%

There are three types of Dental Bridges 1) Traditional Fixed Bridge, 2) Resin Bonded Bridges and 3) Cantilever Bridges. Your fixed bridge should last as many as ten years or more.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

Your teeth have tiny canals inside that may become infected. Then often the pulp inside your tooth will also become infected. Ouch!!! Either your dentist or an endodontist can remove any infection then perform the root canal procedure. The canals are cleaned and then filled and the tooth receives either a filling or a crown. Root canals are painful physically, and also financially!

I personally had a root canal recently and instead of paying $1840 I paid only $1290, so I saved $550 by using my Ameriplan.

Even if you are NOW facing a root canal Ameriplan DOES include pre-existing conditions. So purchase some help now, before you pay through the nose! Check to see if we have an endodontist in your area. If you are in a metropolitan area you are usually in luck. It is not too late to get coverage - do it today!

Cost depends on if the tooth is a front tooth or a molar. Also, if this is not the first root canal on the same tooth the cost escalates. Ameriplan does also help with the cost of dentures - absolutely.

One of the newly released products from Young Living Essential Oils at their recent convention is a Thieves Dental Floss. Thieves is an oil blend that is antibacterial and it is also a part of their toothpaste and mouthwash products as well.

    This is a really good lens with great info, I think its very important to make people aware of the problems they can have if they don't take care of their teeth...so much so that i'm currently looking at at the dental industry career wise, do you know of any good Dental Hygienist Schools In Atlanta GA that I could train at?
  • RinchenChodron Mar 29, 2012 @ 2:26 pm | delete
    No Darran I'm not a good resource for that info as I live in Colorado. But good luck with your training.

    Nicely Written Lens, I agree that teeth are the most apparent and play a vital part in one's "Persona". It's good that you are helping people out by spreading awareness about dental issues.

    Thank you!

    Great Lens here! I particularly like the section about root canals. No, not because I "like" root canals! I feel strongly we need to spread awareness for the procedure and work to reverse the stigma that they are excruciatingly painful. Today, they are actually quite pain-free. Warm Regards, Your Miami Dentist
