Does Medicare pay for dental care for adults in Georgia?
- Chosen by Voters No, Medicare does not pay for routine dental care. There are some Medicare Advantage plans that have some dental either included or as an option. Otherwise, you'll need to find a dental plan.You have five other options with dental.1. Go without insurance. If you have good teeth and just want the basics you probably don't need any plan. A yearly cleaning and exam and even an occasional filling will cost you less without insurance.2. Visit a local dental school. You can get many procedures done for a reduced price if you're willing to let them practice on you. You can find one here: http://www.yourhealthplanadvisor.com/Den…3. Insurance – Depending upon the policy: cost $30-$60 per month. You pay a $50 deductible first, they have an annual maximum that they'll pay per year of $750 – $1500, they have a waiting period up to 18 months for major work and then you're paying 50% of the charges. Example – average cost for a root canal in my area is $919. With insurance you pay $460 after paying 18 months of premium (around $800 or $900). Advantage – you can use any dentist with most plans.4. Discount plans – Cost – $5-$12 per month. No deductible, no annual maximum and no waiting periods. Also, hardly any dentists will accept the plan and when they do you MIGHT get a 10% discount, which is about the same discount you can get by paying cash. Example – average cost for a root canal in my area is $919. With discount plans you pay around $827. Be very wary of these plans because most are scams. The people that sell these plans have little or no knowledge about health & dental insurance and do not need a license to sell them. The plans are not regulated by the state so you have no recourse when you have problems. Some states are starting to ban these plans from being sold. Here is an informative link http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/wes… concerning these plans.5. Fee for Service discount plans – Cost $7-$15 per month. No deductible, no annual maximum and no waiting periods. Many dentist will accept the plan (check providers first before signing up with any plan). When you use the plan there is a set fee that the dentist will charge you. Example – average cost for a root canal in my area is $919. With fee for service plans you pay as little as $404. I'm an insurance agent and my personal plan is the fee for service plan. I got mine here http://www.dpbrokers.com/default.aspx?lo… specifically the Aetna Dental Access plan but which one you get depends upon your area and comparing the fee schedule to find the best for what you need covered.

Health Care help for my mother?
There are some programs that help with the cost of drugs. Walmart has one of those programs, and some pharmacies do as well. The knee has probably some arthritic changes that have occurred after surgery, given your Mom's age. The weird lump cannot be diagnosed over the Internet. Encourage her to have it looked at. Going to the bathroom all the time can be age related, poor bladder tone or a multitude of other problems. Getting help for her depends on where you are located, her financial situation and some other factors. Talk to her about your concerns. Tell her how much you care for her and that you are concerned. She may get some help!! Source(s): I'm a nurse 3 years ago Thank you so much for your help.

Conservatives: Poor Children on Medicaid are far more likely to be denied Dental Care. Your solution?
They don't care. To conservatives, this is a dog eat dog world and we have no obligation to work together or care for each other.

How to get dental care plans or any type of help?
I am so sorry to hear that you are having such severe problems. An abscessed tooth requires an antibiotic, and you can get that from a regular doctor, or perhaps even your local health department, which should see low-income patients, if you are in the United States. Also, contact Social Services and see if there is a free dental clinic in your community, or if there is a free medical clinic which might offer an occasional free dental day. We have a local free medical clinic, but not a dental clinic. About once every couple of months, dentists volunteer their time to handle dental cases.Another option, if you live near a college or university that has a dental school, is having their students work on you. They are heavily supervised, late-term students who are being trained, and their services are at a very reduced price, and in some cases, if you have something that interests them, or if you are a kid who has an interesting orthodontic case, they will do the work for free for the experience it offers the students.I used to get my dental work done at Georgetown University dental clinic when I was a poor college student! 2 years ago .
Career options (( veterinarian assistant, dental assistant, and child day care))?
I have worked as a childcare assistant and a dental nurse…both aren't great paying jobs. However if there are opportunities to specialise with dental assistanting. Then the pay is a lot better. I will let you know about my experience in each.Childcare WorkerYou can work as an unqualified however you wage, job prospects and responsibities are less. There are three levels for childcare workers..Level 1 which is unqualifiedLevel 2 which is as an assistant. You need to study for a certificate. Your second in charge in the room and help the with planning activities, taking note of childrens' individual developmental milestones, participating in activites (engaging with children), promote learning and positive behaviour.Level 3 which is qualified and you need to do a diploma study. As a qualified you are in charge of your room and have the most responsibility planning activities and chatting with parents. Its still similar to what a level 2 does but you get paid a little more.Also with Level 2 and level 3 you can work with an agency and do temping. I personally loved this..it was great going to a different place everyday. Working in one centre is fantastic too, helping children develop their confidence and learning. Its a very rewarding job emotionally, spiritually…just not financially. Another plus is you are will be qualified to register with reliable agencies if you ever want to do Nanny work overseas! I do recommend doing this through a registered agency…it can be a fantastic way to travel and work while you are young.Dental AssistantOnce again you can work as a qualified or unqualified this will effect how much you get paid and your level of responsibility. You can also work for an agency which pays more again.Most dental nursing positions will be based on a working traineeship and certificate course. Your responsiblities will involve: chairside assistanting (helping the dentist treat the patient, preparing materials, passing instruments)looking out of patients general wellbeing: easing fears about procedures.setting up the treatment room for each patientresponsible for infection control and sterilization of instrumentscharting the patients teetheducating patients on good oral hygene practices reception duties: making appointments answering phones, accounts and filingstock control and orderingetc…I enjoyed working as a dental assistant…but the dentists i work for were completely nuts! Lol!It was a rewarding job however and you were always busy. It was a nice feeling when you would make an anixous patient feel better about their visit to the dentist…most people are pretty scared so it help to have a sense of humour, a smile and calm attitude. If you want to advance you can work for a specialist and you usually get paid a lot more that general denistry.I ended up specialising in Oral Surgery which was fantastic! General dentistry..fillings and so on…just got boring. I work for a really nice but highly neurotic Oral Facio Maxillary Surgeon. We would work half the week from his consulting rooms and the other half form a few different hospitals. I would mainly assist in extracting wisdom teeth, implant procedures, soft tissue biopsies, fractured jaws, tmj's, removal of tumours and cysts and cosmetic and reconstructions facial surgery. It was interesting 
You can't be sensitive to the sight of blood and need to be able to respond quickly under pressure. Is a job where you will become very organised and a total professionist when it comes to sterility. Its also stressful when people come in screaming and crying in pain (you get a lot of emergencies). If you are lovely natured and enjoy helping people its a great job. I never worked as a vet nurse but my friend is a vet and she employs people as trainees.I haven't included average award wages because they vary depending on what country and state you are in. Just google the government award wage and there should be a list.Good luck in whatever you decide to dox Source(s): Industry experience working in childcare and oral surgery. 3 years ago thanks
