Do dentists offer services to the uninsured?
Dentists do indeed offer services to uninsured patients. Although most dentists do not choose to serve as a bank in offering payment plans, you could ask about CareCredit or the Dental Benefit Program. These are both viable ways to help fit dental treatment into a budget. READ MORE
Why are some people's canine teeth sharper than others?
The sharpness of human canines is both a genetic thing as well as a wear thing. The genetic tooth form of various people has individual variations, leading to more or less sharpness in their unworn teeth. Perhaps a bigger factor is the wear that people cause on their teeth from grinding their teeth, oftentimes in their sleep. This will blunt or wear canines, and should be treated at least with a night guard, but preferably with a bite analysis followed by restoration of the worn or damaged teeth and chewing system.
