How do you make an un cooperative child undergo dental treatment? My daughter is 4 years old and been doing teeth cleaning and check up regularly since she was one year old. She is not afraid of the dentist. Unfortunately we were not able to visit the dentist for half a year and she developed 2 big cavities on her upper back teeth that needs to be treated. She is happy going to the dentist and will sit on the dental chair on her own. She will open her mouth but wont let anything put inside it. The dentist tried to convince her for about 30 minutes- no crying , she enjoyed sitting on the dental chair, she told the dentist that she will have her teeth treated when she turned 5 yrs old- the dentist gave up and told me to make another appointment . We tried to convince her that the procedure does not hurt, the dentist will just brush out the bad cavity. Her sister- 5 yrs old- who went the same treatment even testified that the water used for gargling is grape flavor and it doesnt hurt. And I bribed her that if she will let the dentist treat her teeth- I would buy her a bike. I am thinking of holding a fake birthday party so she will be 5- then we can have her teeth treated. For the last few days , I have been talking about this teeth treatment in preparation for the next dental appointment , and she said she does not want to hear anything about it anymore. I fear that she might develop fear of the dentist so I stopped. We have the next dental appointment tomorrow. Any suggestion please?

Is there a way to get help paying for required dental treatment for chronic pain? I have chronic, painful dental problems. In the last 8 years alone I've had at least 50 fillings, 4 extractions, 2 caps, 8 root canals and I'm still in an immense amount of pain. I'm in severe debt because I have had to charge these treatments which have amounted to more than $20,000 in just the last 2 years alone. I have begged dentists to simply remove my teeth but almost all insisted that they could and should be "saved". I'm 27 years old and still have a lifetime of this ahead of me. ALL of my root canals are painful, after last years procedures, leaving me with a whole side of my mouth I can't use. Is it really that crazy to ask to have these teeth removed? I can't find relief-- medically and especially not financially. I can no longer afford to have anything done to my teeth and am hoping that someone can help with advice.

I am seeking funding for extensive dental treatment. Does anyone know of an organization that can help? I am a 41 year-old otherwise healthy female in need of urgent dental care assistance. I was recently told by my dentist that the cost of repairing my teeth would be about $47.000. This includes five implants and twenty dental units. I am a self-employed single parent. All of the dental plans I have looked into, indicate a cap of around $1000 - $1500 per year. This means that even if I were to obtain dental insurance, it would only cover about 3% of the total cost. I do not qualify for any kind of state or federal aid as I make enough money to live on. However, I cannot make enough to pay for this treatment. Before visiting my current dentist, I paid almost $30.000 to another dentist whose work was so bad almost everything he made broke within a year. I trust my current dentist's diagnosis and treatment plan. I just do not have the money to pay for it. Does anyone know of organizations or individual(s) who could help?
