in helping people with no dental insurance find affordable dental discount care,
low cost dentists, and low cost dental treatments for dental emergencies. We
help new members get their dental treatment ASAP, and we help all of our members

The Affordable Care Dental Membership Card offers the following unique
features:
Bigger Savings:
The discounts you'll get with the Affordable Care Dental Plan are
significantly higher than most other plans. Our discounts are up to 60% and
even higher in some cases! Most other advertised plans have little or no
discounts, and unlike other plans, the Medical Discounts Dental Plan provides
a written list of the final discount price that our members pay.
Solid Company:
The Affordable Care Dental Plan uses an exclusive list of
pre-selected dentists and dental offices that have been recommended by
consumers. In addition, all the dentists and dental providers in our network
have well established, successful dental practices.
Payment:
Unlike other plans that require monthly payments, the Affordable Care Dental
Plan has one small fee that covers a year of dental care..
Money Back Guarantee: Within 30 days
from the date you enroll, if you use an Affordable Care Dental Provider, and
are charged higher prices without your consent than what is listed, we will
fully refund your enrollment fees.

Dentures
Dentures are an artificial set of teeth that
replace all of a patient's upper or lower teeth. Dentures come out and in the
wearer's mouth. They are removable. Dentures are made of plastic teeth with a
gum colored plastic base. Good dentures fit the gums underneath the dentures
very well.
A patient with dentures still has to see the
dentist routinely because dentures must be relined regularly. When dentures wear
down a dentures patient's face starts looking like there's nothing in her mouth.
This is called over-closed.
Natural looking denture teeth should show when a
denture patient smiles. When too much gum colored denture base shows, the
denture patient's smile looks too gummy.
Our participating dentists are
dedicated to their patients' good health and well being. You are welcome to join
our family of patients by calling (888) 550-8895.
Academy of General Dentistry
What is a Denture?
A denture is a removable replacement for missing
teeth and adjacent tissues. It is made of acrylic resin, sometimes in
combination with various metals. Complete dentures replace all the teeth, while
a partial denture fills in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevents
other teeth from changing position. Complete dentures are either "conventional"
or "immediate." A conventional denture is placed in the mouth about a month
after all the teeth are removed to allow for proper healing, whereas an
immediate denture is placed as soon as the teeth are removed. The drawback
behind an immediate denture is that it may require more adjustments after the
healing has taken place.
Who needs a denture?
Candidates for complete dentures have lost most or all of their teeth. A partial
denture is suitable for those who have some natural teeth remaining. A denture
improves chewing ability and speech, and provides support for facial muscles. It
will greatly enhance the facial appearance and smile.
What happens when you get a denture?
A dentist can make a full conventional denture when all teeth have been lost or
all extraction sites have healed (up to eight weeks or longer.) The denture
process takes about one month and five appointments: the initial diagnosis is
made; an impression and a wax bite are made to determine vertical dimensions and
proper jaw position; a "try-in" is placed to assure proper color, shape and fit;
and the patient's final denture is placed, following any minor adjustments. New
denture wearers need time to get accustomed to their new "teeth" because even
the best fitting dentures will feel awkward at first. While most patients can
begin to speak normally within a few hours, many patients report discomfort with
eating for several days to a few weeks. To get accustomed to chewing with a new
denture, start with soft, easy-to-chew foods. In addition, denture wearers often
notice a slight change in facial appearance, increased salivary flow, or minor
speech difficulty.
How do you care for a denture?
A denture is fragile, so it is important to handle it with care. Remove and
brush the denture daily, preferably with a brush designed specifically for
cleaning dentures, using either a denture cleanser or toothpastes. Never use
harsh, abrasive cleansers, including abrasives toothpastes, because they may
scratch the surface of the denture. Don't sterilize your denture with boiling
water because it will cause it to become warped. If you wear a partial denture
be sure to remove it before brushing your natural teeth. When not in use, soak
it in a cleanser solution or in water. Get in the habit of keeping the denture
in the same safe and handy place to reduce the likelihood of misplacement.
Should a denture be worn at night?
While you may be advised to wear your denture almost constantly during the first
two weeks- even while you sleep-under normal circumstances it is considered best
to remove it at night. Research has shown that removing the denture for at least
eight hours during either the day or night allows the gum tissue to rest and
allows normal stimulation and cleansing by the tongue and saliva. This promotes
better long-term health of the gums.
Continue seeing your dentist regularly
It is important to continue having regular dental checkups so that a dentist can
examine oral tissues for signs of disease or cancer. As of aging, your mouth
will continue to change as the bone under your denture shrinks or recedes. To
maintain a proper fit over time, it may be necessary to adjust your denture or
possibly remake your denture. Never attempt to adjust a denture yourself and do
not use denture adhesives for a prolonged period because it can contribute to
bone loss. When in doubt, consult your dentist.
Are there any alternatives to dentures?
Dentures are no longer the only way to restore a mouth that has little or no
non-restorable teeth. Strategically placed support, or implants, can now be used
to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The
cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the
"feel" of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative of choice to
dentures, but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Call your dentist for
advice.

of dentures and many denture-wearers may think regularly using an
over-the-counter cleanser would keep dentures pearly white and more importantly,
germ-free.
Yet, traditional denture soaking methods often do
not leave dentures completely bacteria-free. Combining the soaking cleaning
program with a two-minute microwave treatment was overwhelmingly more effective
to eliminate germs on the inside and outside of dentures worn from 12 days to 48
years, according to a recent study published in a 2003 issue of General
Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General
Dentistry (AGD).
Wearing unclean dentures may cause the patient to
develop denture-related stomatitis, a fungal infection in the mouth
characterized by white or red sores, bleeding, swelling and burning sensations,
according to R. Thomas Glass, DDS, PhD, a co-author of the study.
Dentures are made of a combination of porcelain
and acrylic, and are worn when a tooth is broken and cannot be repaired or the
decay is too vast to be eliminated and permanent bridges or implants are not an
option. In addition to full dentures, partial dentures are made for two to up to
16 teeth and are easily removable.
"The research has shown toothbrushing of dentures
is not adequate to combat stains and odors caused by bacteria," says Gordon R.
Isbell, DMD, MAGD, and AGD spokesperson. According to Dr. Glass, the combination
of denture cleaners and microwave was especially effective to remove
microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and fungi) found in the depths of the dentures.
How to Microwave Dentures
- Place dentures that have no metal compartments
in a microwave container at least twice as tall as the dentures, with vents in
the cover
- Fill the container with water
- Drop one tablet of the cleanser in the water
- Place towel over the cover of the microwave
container to catch any excess fluid
- Microwave the container for two minutes using
a standard microwave
- Allow denture to completely cool, then rinse
and wear
Caution
Only use this method for complete dentures. DO NOT use this method for dentures
that contain metal, since no testing has been conducted on such appliances.

Are There Any Alternatives to Dentures?
Dentures are no longer the only way to restore a mouth that has little or no
non-restorable teeth. Strategically placed support, or implants, can now be used
to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The
cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the
"feel" of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative of choice to
dentures, but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Call your dentist for
advice.
Lost Your Denture? Check Your Stomach
Swallowing dental foreign objects is common, with
X-rays often revealing dentures, toothbrushes and toothpicks lodged in patients'
throats and stomachs, according to a recent report in General Dentistry, the
peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry.
"Any foreign dental object that is swallowed and
becomes lodged in the throat or stomach can cause a potentially life threatening
situation," says Charles H. Perle, DMD, FAGD, spokesperson for the Academy of
General Dentistry, an organization of general dentists dedicated to continuing
education. "Accidentally swallowing a denture may happen during sleep, due to a
poor fitting appliance or even possibly during an intoxicated episode."
Denture wearers must remember that the bone
underneath their denture will change, changing the shape of the mouth, but not
of the denture, in turn causing a loose-fitting appliance. In addition to
increasing the chance of swallowing the appliance, a loose fitting denture cause
loss of palate sensitivity making the patient more prone to swallowing chicken
or fish bones.
Dr. Perle has also treated non-denture wearing
patients that have ingested pennies, toys, pen caps, bobbie pins and sewing
needles.

Additional case reports
reveal:
|
- Ingested toothpicks have caused liver
abscesses.
- While inducing purging, bulimics have
accidentally ingested toothbrushes.
- Accidental ingestion of partial dentures
and orthodontic appliances has required surgical removal procedures.
|
More than 2700 Americans choke to death each
year. Protect yourself if you wear dentures:
- Visit the dentist twice a year to make sure
the appliance is in good working order.
- Consider a fixed bridge or implants instead of
a partial denture.
- If you have severe bone loss and still need a
denture, ask about getting implants to stabilize the denture.
- Do not wear faulty appliances overnight. There
is a danger of swallowing during sleep.
- Remove the appliance before playing sports.
