Handicapped laws re avaliability of dental care for quadraplegics?

I'm a dentist.I can understand your frustration. I've encountered many situations like yours before (people unable to find a dentist willing to treat them), especially when I was doing my surgery internship. Many general dentists would send patients like your son to us to take to the operating room and remove all their rotten teeth.If I understand it correctly, your son is unable to protect his own airway. Even if he could stand up and do jumping jacks in the treatment room, I'd refuse to treat him in my office. Any dentist would do the same.What you need is a general dentist with operating room privileges (believe it or not, some general dentists do have them). That way, treatment can often be completed in one or two appointments, and it frees the doctor from having to manage your son's airway, as he will be intubated and thus have a protected airway. This aspect would be monitored by an anesthesiologist.It's more expensive, but you'll need to bite the bullet.Check with some local pediatric dentists. They often have OR privileges. If your son is too old for them to treat, they still may be able to refer you to a general dentist with OR privileges. 5 years ago 2 people rated this as good Excellent answer. Very professional and informative.

On the NHS the maximum charge for a complex course of dental treatment is £198.Most courses of treatment cost £16.50 or £45.60.These charges apply from April 1 2009.You still receive free NHS dental treatment if you meet the exemption criteria. For more info visit here… http://www.nhs.uk/nhsengland/AboutNHSservices/pages/DentistsSummary.aspxThere are also lots of Private Dental Plans in the UK (as finding an NHS dentists is a bit of a lottery). Denplan is the most popular plan. They have different plans depending on your needs, visit their website here…http://www.denplan.co.uk/ Hope this helps? 2 years ago 2 people rated this as good Straight to the point!

Primary care physician for dental pain?

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 19:52:27 +0000

Most of the time any physician needs to see you before per scribing medicines for a problem they have not previously seen you for. That being said, most physicians WILL give you a script to use between now and when you can get in to see a dentist. You can even go to an ER if necessary, though it's much more expensive. Source(s): In the Dental biz 2 years ago Thanks for taking the time to answer. My primary care physician is out of town, I am being seen by a dentist Tuesday morning. I might end up in the ER this weekend if this pain doesn't subside. Thanks again.

Is there low/no cost dental care in Houston, TX? I have a tooth abcess, no money, and no dental insurance.?

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 18:20:44 +0000

I would contact the dentist that did the first procedure. Tell him your situation and that he did the original work. Ask if you can set up a payment program with him to get the abscess taken care of. You can die from an abscessed tooth. If he is unwilling to help, then ask where you can go to get help. They should know which agency to send you to. But, if the dentist is worth anything at all, he will help you out. At least to get you stabilized. Good Luck! 5 years ago Thanks, I'll try.
