Short on Cash? How to Get Dental Care Now

You know that your dental health matters. If you have children, you also care a great deal about how their teeth turn out, especially if they’re entering their teen years and developing teeth they need for the rest of their life.

The problem is that when you’re short on cash, paying for dental services can seem nearly impossible. The cruel fact is that avoiding dental care can actually result in considerably larger bills down the road, as well as serious discomfort.

Whether you’re short on cash right now, or you simply don’t have a lot because you’re on a fixed income, there are some options to help you get the care you need. Use this guide to make sure your teeth, as well as the teeth of your children, don’t suffer because of financial issues.

Get Insurance

For children, dental insurance is often free when they are enrolled in some programs. If your child is not enrolled in a health insurance program through your state, you should get them registered as soon as possible. They may be able to see a dentist for preventative care right away.

For adults, paying for dental insurance isn’t always quite so easy. In most cases, insurance doesn’t start to take effect for about a year, either. Getting it now can help you prevent larger bills down the road though.

Don’t wait until your teeth are bothering you or you need dental work to get dental insurance for yourself and your family.

Make Payment Arrangements

Sometimes paying for dental care isn’t something you can do on the spot. When you find a reliable dentist you know and trust such as Far Headingley Dental Care, you may find that your dentist is willing to work with you when it comes to accepting payments.

For example, your dentist may be able to take two payment instead of one over the course of a few months. That should make payment easier on you.

As normal I am a bit behind on my Christmas shopping but I have found some great products that I want to share with you. The first one is Fango Delicato Active Mud for delicate dry skin. The Fango muds provide mineral nourishment and special absorbing action which rids skin of impurities while hydrating and firming dry, delicate skin. The muds also help firm and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin with Wheat Protein.

The Fango Delicato Active Mud is perfect for any season- but especial good in the winter when your skin is dry and needs extra attention.  I have used the Mud a few times and really like how my skin feels after I am done using it.  This would make a great gift for a sister or friend!  You can find it HERE from Borghese along with lots of other great products.

I love these little bottles from jane iredale Hydration Spray Minis: Take a mini break to condition, destress, and protect skin with purse-sized hydration sprays that tackle every skin concern. ($10 each, sold separately at janeiredale.com) There are three limited-edition purse-sized hydration sprays refresh and protect skin—perfect for on-the-go touch-ups and pick-me-ups, as well as setting minerals for a long last finish and misting brushes to turn powder shadow into liner.

These would make a perfect gift for your co-workers or friends! You can find them HERE.

If you are looking for something to give me – you would never go wrong with hair products! I have been using this new conditioner from The Mance Choice Easy On The CURLS & Soft As Can Be Trio (Shampoo & Conditioning Set: a set of revolutionary hair products for curly hair. ($36.97 for the set, at TheManeChoice.com, select Target, Sally Beauty Supply and Rite Aid stores)

·         Easy On The CURLS Detangling Hydration Shampoo is an advanced shampoo which cuts your wash days in half. Infused with Biotin and Vitamin E to nourish, grow and hydrate your hair. Easy On The CURLS leaves the hair feeling soft and shiny, while eliminating the dry and stripped feeling.

Infused with Biotin and Vitamin E to nourish, grow and hydrate your hair.

·         Soft As Can Be is a 3-in-1 conditioner formulated to revitalize and refresh the hair instantly. An advanced conditioner that can be used as a Co-Wash, Leave In, and Detangler. Adds shine, softness and manageability. Stops breakage during the detangling process. Leaves the hair softer and more elastic.

I really like the Detangling Hydration Conditioner – It is nice not having to fight snarls in my very curly hair.  It also leaves my hair looking and feeling soft and manageable.

Another favorite is from Skin Research Labs. They are the  leader in effective beauty enhancing treatments you can find the products at (skinresearchlabs.com or Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s).

I have neuLASH® lash enhancing serum from Skin Research Labs, it helps transform the appearance of brittle and thin lashes with this nutrient-rich formula. Engineered to address the weak appearance of lashes caused by aging and everyday beauty routines, this serum delivers benefits beyond conditioning, dramatically improving the appearance of eyelashes within 30 days.  I have been using it for a few weeks and look forward to seeing thicker lashes soon.

All of these beauty products would make great gifts for your friends or treat yourself to some great products!

This time of the year it feels like I never stop running!  Sometimes it is nice to take a bit of time for yourself.  That is why I really like the products I have gotten from ToGoSpa®.  ToGoSpa® is the company we love for creating a luxury at home spa experience with their moisture packed collagen gel pads for your face, eyes and neck. Now they have come out with a BRAND NEW mask- ToGoSpa® presents, Coconut Lips!

The coconut lips by ToGoSpa® are micro-infused with collagen gel masks with hyaluronic acid, vitamins C & E that work to moisturize, plump and re-hydrate thinning lips creating a more full and moisturized appearance.

They are easy to use and help keep your lip looks soft.  If you have dry, chapped lips these are perfect for you!  You just open the packet apply to lips and leave on for 15-20 minutes.  Remove the packets from your lips and discard. Your lips will look kissable!  They are great in the summer or winter. If you want a really refreshing treat – chill them before you use them.  With the coconut aroma you will feel relaxed and transported to the tropics!

I also tried the EYES by ToGoSpa®.  You can soothe, plump and hydrate your under eyes in just one 20 minute treatment.  Last weekend I spent visiting my family in Wisconsin – I had lots of late nights, lots of food and drinks – and along with that some dark circles under my eyes.  Monday when I got home I used my Green Tea EYES – it contains super anti-oxidant green tea to help combat those dark circles.  It kind of tingled and had a nice calming scent.  Same as with the lips – it is a 20 minute treatment.

I loved both the lip and eye treatments from ToGoSpa® and recommend them for you or your friends!  They would be great to put into someone Christmas stocking along with any of the products from ToGoSpa®.  Everyone loves to feel pampered. You can purchase all of the products HERE or even find them at local salons.
